Welcome to the Count of Flanders. The WORKING Bouvier Club!!

International Bouvier Day!
June 17, 2001

.
Dear Bouvier Lover,

Welcome at our first International Bouvier Day where you will meet the best and real Bouviers. Real ones, because they are nearly outnumbered because of a bad breeding policy. Fortunately, the Count of Flanders fights back.

In one year, we became a world-wide strong and motivated organization.

The real good character Bouvier - honest and healthy - has fortunately not disappeared.
This day is our proof of it.
It is our duty to continue in the right direction.
In friendship, mutual respect and cooperation.

The way will be long and difficult. The fairy tales of breeders "character and beauty stuff" are still there.

Our vivid organization in there because of the work of so many volunteers. From this place we say: thank you. The anonymous, supporters and donators: thanks.

The organization loves this powerful and fabulous animal. The pride of Flanders!

Give us today a clear supporting signal!

Note: It is very hard to operate a still camera and a video camera.
Several dogs are available on video that did not have still pictures taken of them.
No dogs were intentionally left out.
