Our first Bouv - HUGO!

[Plasmatico]

Well Mike we finally got our bouvier, his name is Hugo. He's a 9 week old male, I flew to get him - I didn't want to put him through the stress of flying solo and I wanted to meet the breeder and the rest of the family. Quite remarkable people, really passionate about bouviers - I feel really lucky to have gotten our pup from this breeder.

He is fantastic, a beautiful dark brindle with a star on his chest and some white in the mussel.

I want to learn as much as possible about the breed, I order The Dogs of Flandres book as is quite unanimously considered the best bouvier book available. If you have any suggestions or any recommendations to a new owner, by all means I love to hear from you.

My only concern at the moment is he's a bit mouthy when playing, so I know I need to correct that before it gets out of hand, but I want to do it the right way as I read this breed tends to remember everything!

Anyway, just a short note to let you know we are in the bout family now, really exited and happy of being Dad again!!!
