The Temperament and Training of the Bouvier Des Flandres Puppies
The bouvier des flanders is a dog that gives off the appearance of strength and size without appearing clumsy or heavy. Their head is the first part of the body that people take note of simply because of the huge amount of hair on it that makes it appear as if it almost has a beard and mustache. This contrasts with the rest of their body as their ears and tail are usually cropped close to the body. The weight ranges from 100-120 pounds. They have a thick double coat which can give the illusion that they don’t shed. They do, in fact, shed like all other dogs, but most of the shed hair gets caught in their second coat which can make it matted. One way to avoid this is through weekly combing and brushing of their coat. They should also be trimmed frequently although the trick to trimming them correctly needs to be taught so ask a professional to show you how to do it correctly.
The bouvier des flandres puppies are a wonderful puppy to have. They are rational, gentle, loyal, and protective in nature which makes them great guard dogs. Although bred as herding dogs, these dogs are now used mostly as guard dogs and police dogs when they are not being family pets. Although this dog’s appearance can make it look large and intimidating, the bouvier des flandres puppies are actually very calm and good natured dogs.
One of the best things about these dogs is that they are very easy to train. Once you have taught them a command, they remember it the rest of their life so it is good to start training the bouvier des flandres puppies when they are first born so that you do not have to do a lot of training when they are adults as they will always remember what you taught them as a puppy. They can be shy and reserved when around strangers so it’s also important to socialize them from an early age. It is also good to train them from an early age how to behave around other animals. Chances are good that they will get along well with cats and other dogs, but when it comes to non-canine animals, anything goes. If you train them from an early age that you are the owner and they are not, you will be able to curb any bad behavior from the start.
