It also contributed to farm work as a watchdog and protection dog. It is believed that the ancestors of the Bouvier des Flandres include breeds such as mastiff, sheepdog and spaniel. Breeding was based on the parent dogs' skills, not on beauty of appearance. Eventually, in 1912, a breed standard was arrived at. However, during World War I, most of the breed was killed or lost. Most every modern day Bouvier includes in its pedigree a magnificent specimen of the breed, Ch. Nic de Sottegem, which was discovered and used to revitalize the breed after the war. This breed has never achieved popular status as a pet but does enjoy notoriety in the show ring and in competitions known as herding trials. It continues to work is a cattle herder and farm dog. |
