Selecting the right puppy or dog
The breed standard

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.
Engel, breeder of a number of conformation and working champions, 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.
