BOUVIER DES FLANDRES

BOUVIER DES FLANDRES

COAT

The Bouvier has a tousled, double coat capable of withstanding the hardest work in the most inclement weather. The outer hairs are rough and harsh, with the undercoat being fine, soft and dense. The topcoat must be harsh and dry to the touch. It is tousled without being curly. On the skull, it is short, and on the upper part of the back, it is particularly close and harsh always ,however, remaining rough. Ears are rough-coated. The undercoat is a dense mass of fine, closehair, thicker in winter. Together with the topcoat, it will form a water-resistant covering. The mustache and beard are very thick, with the hair being shorter and rougher on the upper side of the muzzle. The upper lip with its heavy mustache and the chin with its heavy and rough beard give that gruff expression so characteristic of the breed. The eyebrows are formed by erect hairs accentuating the shape of the eyes without ever veiling them.

CHARACTER
