Bouvier Rescue / Adoption Opportunity!

Our Rescue coordinators (RuthAnn & Iris) have been notified that ABRL has FIVE (yes, 5!) Bouviers in our area that are in need of forever homes!
Actually, we can use some FOSTER help in the interim too!
These five dogs (Male and Female) range in age from a puppy (less than 1 year) on to 4-5 years, and a older fellow at 8.

We Especially Love Our Bouviers

The Greater Washington Bouvier des Flandres Club is the regional club, approved by AKC under the auspices of our Parent Club; the American Bouvier des Flandres Club ("ABdFC"). We're devoted to the Bouvier and hope to be able to educate you, share with you, and excite you about this amazing breed.

We constantly marvel at the innate ability of this magnificent breed. Their instincts to herd, pull carts, scent work and sentry is a marvel to behold. Our goal is for all dog owners to be able to experience these and other attributes of their best friend as a team by participating in trials, workshops, seminars, and training sessions. To this end, all breeds, including mixed breeds are welcome and encouraged to participate.

We hope you will join us, whether you own a Bouvier, another breed or no dog at all. Please visit our Membership Benefits page to discover how and why you should become a member! We have held the membership to $20 per year and as we grow, so will the value you will receive from the Greater Washington Bouvier des Flandres Club.
