"...a significant new publication about the Bouvier......
I can think of no person more qualified to write such
a book than Jim Engel." Erik Houttuin
A classic every Bouvier des Flandres owner, breeder, or judge must have. From the working heritage that shaped the Bouvier soul to a thoughtful discussion of the future of the breed, author Jim Engel writes with an obvious love for his breed and a depth of understanding stemming from years of experience and research.
Topics include:
|
Selecting the right puppy or dog The breed standard Discipline and training Daily care and grooming Becoming a breeder Origins in Europe and America Conformation and working competition |
Pedigrees and photos trace the breed from
it's formation in the fields of Flandres,
in Europe today, and it's importation
to the U. S. and Canada. Truly an international
book, covering all aspects
of the breed with special emphasis on the importance of
understanding and preserving the Bouvier's working heritage.

is past president of the North American Working Bouvier Association,
and has judged an number of specialty sweepstakes shows. He continues
to breed on a limited basis, and has developed an extensive pedigree
data base for the breed.
