It is with a heavy heart that I announce that my dogs will no longer be shown in CKC Conformation Shows until such time that the national Bouvier des Flandres Club of Canada changes the standard to allow for dogs with natural tails.

Cosmetic surgery has been banned in some European Countries as early as Jan, 1988. We are talking over two decades of scientific evidence proving that it is unecessary, inhumane and cruel.

I have been on the “Au Natural” ban wagon since 2005. Going against my own convictions and docking tails until it was banned in BC in Oct, 2015.

No more! I am finally taking a stand. And I ask you to do the same. Say No to adopting a puppy from a Bouvier breeder that supports unnecessary cosmetic surgery on their puppies like ear cropping, tail docking and dewclaw removal. Better yet, contact the breed clubs and CKC and make your position known.

Members of B.C.'s College of Veterinarians have voted to ban cosmetic tail docking of dogs, horses and cattle. The college says the more than 91 per cent of members who took part in a recent vote cast ballots against tail docking.

Such wonderful news for our breed. Now we just have to wait until the breed clubs get on board and change the standard for our breed. Starting today all puppies reared by myself will be adopted out OH NATURAL! Hence, if you are looking for a cropped, docked or cropped and docked puppy? You need NOT apply.

Personally, I have been waiting for almost 15 years for this WIN. Patience is a virtue!

On October 28th, 2015, the College of Veterinarians of BC voted to ban the cosmetic procedure of ear cropping.

Did you know it’s illegal in Europe to do cosmetic surgery on dogs? Here at Breugel our dogs and puppies come first and as such we will not crop ears nor dock tails. Nor will we sell a puppy to anyone wanting to do so.

Please join our plight and say NO to ear cropping.

Do it for the dogs sake!
