If You Love Bouviers... February 15, 2006

If you love Bouviers, you will love this book. It is worth every penny! Great history, photos, and packed all the information you need as a potential Bouvier owner or as an admirer of the breed. Pedigrees, puppy selection, grooming... it's all there. A must have if you plan to own a Bouvier. I keep mine on my bedside table... when I'm not carrying it around with me. (Yup, it's heavy.) This is the best Bouvier book I've ever found and definitely the most thorough.
 Detailed history of breed, special emphasis on police work January 15, 1999

As a new and first time owner of a Bouvier des Flandres puppy, I appreciated many of the details, historical, raising and breeding. The book emphasizes the Bouvier as a Schultzhund dog, which is the author's perogative. I would have appreciated more information on training of a Bouvier for a pet. Many dog owners desire a lovable pet not a champion police dog. The author is an important breeder of Bouviers and he has many valid points to keep the Bouviers to a standard. I myself researched breeders for several months as it is a problem. My summary statement is that the book is worth the money. If there is a revision, I hope the author will broaden his interests in the breed for the general dog owner.
The Bouvier book everyone should read December 9, 1998

Engle does an excellant job of portraying Bouviers as the working family dog they really are. All Bouvier owners should read this book. Kathleen Ryan

If you are a Bouvier des Flandres fancier or just think thatyou would like to know more about the breed, buy this book!History, bloodlines, showing, training and grooming are all covered in detail. Best of all, this book does what we wish all breed books did. It gives us an HONEST picture of a noble breed without the sugar-coated praise that makes too many people buy the wrong dog. Read this book and you won't go wrong when you look into Bouviers.
