Your favourite AKC dog breed is the Bouvier des Flandres. Bouviers are big and big-hearted. They are strong and can think for themselves. The Bouvier is prtective and can sometimes be suspicious of other dogs. He needs plenty of exercise, but is not overly active in the house. The Bouvier is a member of the Herding Group and was first recognised by the AKC in 1931. Other names for this dog include: Flanders Cattle Dog and Vlaamse Koehond. Ronal Regan owned a Bouvier named Lucky. This is the perfect breed gift, telling all about Bouvier des Flandres. A great dog lover gift on a t shirt, hoodie, mug, sticker, magnet, button, ornament - makes a great Bouvier Christmas gift.
