Our family just grew by four paws! Everyone, meet Clara, our brand-new Bouvier des Flandres puppy. She is already stealing hearts, dominating nap time, and keeping us all on our toes.
Madison Jewell made the choice and long trek to alberta to find her. After several days, she's back.
Since a few people have asked about her breed, here is a little bit about what makes Bouviers so special:
The Ultimate Farm Dog: Originating in the Flanders region of Belgium and France, the breed's full name is Bouvier des Flandres, which translates directly to "Cow Herder of Flanders."
Jack of All Trades: They weren't just herders; historically, farmers relied on them to pull heavy milk carts, turn mills, and guard the homestead. They are built for hard work and heavy weather.
Built for the Elements: That famous thick, rough coat is actually a double layer designed to protect them from brush, briars, and freezing rain while working stock out in the fields.
Heart & Brains: They are intensely loyal family protectors who prefer having a job to do. They're brilliant, observant, and hold a calm, steady presence once they outgrow the goofy puppy phase.
Clara is settling in beautifully, learning the ropes, and getting used to the sights and sounds of her new home. We are absolutely smitten!
