Yes, very good guard dogs. They have a strong guardian instinct and are loyal to their family.
Ronald Reagan had 2 dogs. Lucky, who was a Bouvier des Flandres, and Rex, who was a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel.
About 10 years but my uncle has one and its 10 years old and doing fantastic. Bouvier's are AMAZING dogs.
If you're talking herding dogs, the Bouvier des Flandres, the Old English Sheepdog, and the Briard are amongst the largest in the group.
A pure breed Bouvier can cost between $800 - $1300 (Canadian) My family has owned 3 pure bred Bouvier from breeders in Alberta Canada, in the last 15 years. All have been around $1200. They really are worth the money you spend on them! Great dogs.
Eyebrow dogs, like the Bouvier des Flandres, are known for their distinctive eyebrows that give them a serious and expressive look. They are also valued for their intelligence, loyalty, and protective nature, making them excellent working dogs and companions.
There is no real agreement concerning the origin of this Franco-Belgian breed. It may have been formed by crossing the Griffon and the Beauceron. The breed originated in Belgium by the working class who were not interested in creating a show dog, but rather wanted a working dog. Farmers, butchers, or cattle merchants used the dogs in their everyday work. While the dogs varied in size and look they still were similar enough to recognize them as a Bouvier. Bouvier des Flandres means "cowherd from Flanders.". The dogs were labeled several nick names as well such as, "koehond" ( meaning cow dog), "Vuilbaard" (meaning dirty beard), and "toucheur de boeuf" or "pic" (meaning cattle driver). Later they were used as a message-carrier and rescue dog during World War I. Like most breeds during the world wars, the Bouvier was almost killed off. In 1923 a group of individuals worked at recreating the Bouvier breed and a breed club was formed in Belgium. Some of the Bouvier talents are watchdog, guardian, tracking dog, guide for the blind, search & rescue, police work, military work, carting, agility, competitive obedience and schutzhund.
You probably mean the Bedlington Terrier. They were bred to hunt mice, but they take on a curious lamb-like appearance.
Yes. Siam, a Siamese cat; Grim, a greyhound; Duke, an English mastiff; Hector, a Newfoundland; Dot, a terrier; canaries; cows; horses; goats; other dogs
Rough Collies are not typically considered good guard dogs due to their friendly and gentle nature. They are more known for their intelligence, loyalty, and ability to herd livestock.
I don't believe they are, they are more of an insect repellent! But they are very loud, if that's what you mean.
Guard dogs are different from attack dogs because guard dogs will bark loudly to alert their owners of an intruder's presence and to scare away the intruder. Attack dogs will also bark loudly to alert their owners, but will go in for the attack.
yes it is
