DON'T BUY A BOUVIER !

by Pam Green, (copyright 1992 by author)

Interested in buying a Bouvier ? Well, I think you should also hear, before it's too late, that Bouviers are not the perfect breed for everyone. Think long and hard before buying or adopting one. You will be committing yourself for up to 15 years.

In Conclusion

If all the preceding "bad news" about Bouviers hasn't turned you away from the breed, then by all means DO GET A BOUVIER ! They are every bit as wonderful as you have heard !

However you might give serious consideration to adopting a Bouvier from Bouvier Rescue as an alternative to buying a puppy. Almost all "second hand" Bouvs make wonderful family companion dogs.
