Is a Bouvier des Flandres right for my family?

[Sue]

I think that in general Bouviers are very bonded to their own family and tend to blow off other people. That said, Bob, my cart guy tends to be very physical with dogs he knows well , wrestling, picking them up and throwing them over his shoulders, etc. Sam would positively turn himself inside out when he saw Bob because he knew it was time for the big boys to play together.

I've also had more than a few people comment on how happy their Bouviers are to see me. I think that's probably due to several reasons... the dogs know that I like them, they know I have cookies on me, and they know I'll play some fun games with them too.
