According to Google when I checked on what kind this cute dog was, it turned out he was a Bouvier Des Flandres. I'm not very familiar with this breed and have never seen one since. I took this photo several years ago (another one from my archives).
He is an ideal companion to have for those with allergies. He does not shed all that hair! I wonder how he does in hot weather, especially as he has a double layer coat? I think he would have to go to the groomers and be given a buzz cut maybe.
The breed originates from the Flanders Region of northern Belgium and northern France, and was used to herd sheep and cattle and also pull carts. They are a very intelligent dog and are quick learners. They are also very gentle with other animals, and with people.
There is a very interesting website here with more information.
And one quote to leave you with.

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all
a very happy Sunday!
Hi Denise, I am familiar with the Bouvier des Flandres breed. 😊 It is a large French breed. I agree with you, it would be hard for this particular dog 🐕 to see with all that hair over his eyes. Thank 😊 you so much for sharing, dear friend 🧡
ReplyDeleteTime for a trim!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good photo. Dogs like that that have so much fur over their eyes just can't see very well. I think it is a shame not to trim it out of his eyes!
