The Bouvier des Flandres derives part of its name, Flandres, from the region of the Netherlands, Belgium, and France that's called Flanders. Being endemic to Europe, it did many things that are characteristic to the region. For instance, it led cattle on long droves. Cattle droving is the practice of leading cattle along wide roads en route to market. Many shepherds that maintained sheep and cattle used them for farm work and herding. Police, security, and law enforcement, as well as normal people, use them as guard dogs. There's never been a time in history when this distinctive-looking dog has been unnecessary. Their synonym names have to do with their cattle driving abilities or strange hair surrounding their face. Koehond, Toucher de Boeuf, and Vuilbaard are a few of the alternate names. The Bouvier des Flandres acts in a controlled, congenial, calm, and collected way. Unlike some breeds that just act with aggression and brute force, this breed knows when to show its rough side and its loving side. It can distinguish between good and bad emotions, people, and visitors and act in a manner according the situation. You'll always know the appearance by a thick, heavy moustache and beard. The body is strong and stocky without being oafish, clumsy, or excessive. As with a lot of dogs, the ears and tail were usually cropped, but its prohibition has resulted in seeing less of this characteristic. This non-shedding dog has a double coat that’s gray, fawn, or black. The dog loses a small amount of hair that's sometimes hardly noticeable. What they do lose gets caught in the double coat, and it can be observed with the matting of the coat. A weekly brushing will ensure a mat-free double coat. Ronald Reagan chose the Bouvier des Flandres as his pet dog, and he considered it lucky. The dog has an uncanny and keen sense of smell, and it's often used as a Seeing Eye dog or a dog for the deaf. Since it knows how to discriminate between good and bad situations, it can provide that extra level of security for the handicapped. While it's not an outdoor dog, it thrives in a farm environment. It's a dog of moderate size with a height between 23 and 28 inches, a weight between 60 and 90 pounds depending on the gender, and a lot of hair that covers its eyes. The shaggy tuft of eyebrows is a distinctive feature. The body frame is almost square in general outline. The shaggy, steel wool hair is appealing. Consistent training is usually recommended. The dog can withstand harsh weather and has a high tolerance for pain. Thus, it's entirely suitable for the perils of farm life.
