Bouvier des Flandres

Bouviers are 110 pounds of stubborn, muscular opinions wrapped in a beard that collects everything. They were bred to herd cattle and haven’t adjusted to the fact that your living room isn’t a pasture, so they’ll try to move you, your guests, and your furniture into tighter formations. Owning one means accepting that you don’t actually control the dog, you’re just the person who lives in its house and occasionally wins negotiations.
