A very brief piece relating the qualities of an ideal Bouvier to the ideals of karate.
"BLACK BELT" BOUVIER ?
by Pam Green © 1995
From time to time, as I pass the window of the local dojo ( = karate school ), I reflect upon the poster I see upon their wall :
PRINCIPLES OF A BLACK BELT
- Modesty
- Courtesy
- Integrity
- Perserverance
- Courage
- Indominable Spirit
Now doesn't that sound like the description of the temperament and attitude of the ideal Bouvier ??? And also of the ideal Bouvier breeder and trainer ??? The ideal Bouvier owner ? And of course the ideal Bouvier Rescue worker ? Let's all be inspired to strive to attain these qualities in ourselves and in our beloved dogs !!!
