Mr Jules was my latest Dutch import. He was out of Nicolas Black Mystic Legend and Zilva-Thesan off Soeranda’s Home. Jules was a one in a million Bouvier. He had that sweet disposition and bouvier intelligence that I love. Show him how to do something once and he was trained. What a gentle soul. He loved everyone he met and everyone that met him wanted to take him home.
Unfortunately due to the CKC Bouvier des Flandres Standard, Jules never saw a show ring. Why you ask? The standard calls for a docked tail and Jules came with his tail intact and here in BC, I am unable to dock it. I strongly agree in NO cropping and docking. And, I look forward to the day when it is banned across Canada and the USA.
My precious Mr. Jules lost his very very short battle with cancer on Aug 18th. He died on the operating table. I want to thank Dr. Brandon Chan of BC Animal Hospital for trying to save him for me. We both new it was a long shot but we were both hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately, he left us in his sleep and I will be forever grateful for the short time I had with such a wonderful Bouvier.

Lola was my pick female from Angelbrin’s Echo x Gus litter of 2010. Lola is a bit of a momma’s girl, following me everywhere. When she was not my entourage, she loved to romp about and bounce as only Bouviers’ can when she sees her food dish coming or if you ask her if she wants to go for a D R I V E! Thank you to Shaunna Bernardin for showing Lola to her Canadian Championship for me. Lola took 9 Best of Breeds while on the road with Shaunna. Glad to have her home.
Miss Lola lived in Calgary with her wonderful mom Gillian.

Miss Juno was my pick female from Bella’s x Jag’s litter of 2017. She has the sweetest disposition ever. She loves to rear straight up in the air whenever you ask her if she wants to go outside or when she sees her food dish. She so reminds me of her grandpa Blaze. This little lady had her first and last litter on Sept 30th, 2020. Unfortunately, she had to have an emergency c-section and spay. She is now retired and back with her adopted family. Thank you to Bernice and Derrick for being such wonderful fosters.
Miss Juno is an exemplary example of what a Bouvier should be. Unfortunately she will not be shown due to the fact that the CKC breed standard specifies a docked tail. it is illegal here in BC to crop and dock. Such a shame she will not earn a conformation title.

Miss Lexie Lou died on Sunday February 2, 2020 just 4 months shy of her 14th birthday. Lexus made some beautiful puppies and her grand kids and great grand kids will continue producing puppies with that sweet, smart, loyal temperament.
Lexus was imported from the Vanenblikhoeve kennel in the Netherlands when she was just 10 weeks old. She finished her championship in four shows, taking Best Puppy in Group three days in a row and a Group 4. Lexus is by far the smartest dog I’ve ever had the pleasure to own. I am positive she considers all her options before making a decision. Lexi in her retirement lived with her adopted family Janice & Mike and their other Breugel Bouvier Ruby out in Maple Ridge. Thank you for loving her.

Miss Izzy was my pick female from Rosie’s litter of 2018. My son took her under his wing and trained her. Great job Jason. She is such a sweet caring Bouvier.
Miss Izzy is an exemplary example of what a Bouvier should be. Unfortunately she will not be shown due to the fact that the CKC breed standard specifies a docked tail. it is illegal here in BC to crop and dock. Such a shame she will not earn a conformation title.

Miss Rosie was my only female from my Dolly x Gus litter of 2016. Thank goodness she made the cut and went out on the road with Larry Clark for a few short months in 2018 to get her championship title in conformation. During her very short show career Miss Rosie racked up 6 Best of Breeds, 4 Group 3s, and a Group 2. Thank you Larry!
Rosie’s Pedigree RIP
Gus was my foundation stud dog, imported from Holland. He started his show career in April 2006 and completed his championship in style, taking Best of Breed three out of four days and a Group 3 at the Fraser Valley Dog Fanciers Show in October 2006. Also, worth mentioning is Gus’s sister Geske who is the 2006 World Champion Bouvier. Mr. Gus has blessed us with many wonderful puppies with that world famous Vanenblikhoeve temperament. Gerard, I can’t thank you enough!
My Awesome Gus died in his sleep six days after Blaze. Having two of my loyal companions die so close together has truly ripped my heart out. There is not a day that goes by, that I’m not missing them both.
Gus’s Pedigree RIP
Blaze was pick male from Gus X Tazz 2008 Litter. Blaze finished his CKC Championship in just 2 shows. His claim to fame thus far was beating the Specials and taking Best of Breed at just 7 months of age. His second show he took Best of Breed again for two consecutive days at 9 months of age.
A special thanks to Shannon Sheer for expertly showing Blaze through to his CKC championship. This ones for you Pat!
Blaze in his retirement took over his mom’s job of protecting us all from our wonderful wildlife. Blaze would not let any of us out of his sight when we were out and about. It was quite amazing how he could come up with one location where he could watch us all at the same time. He was a remarkable dog and true to that stoic bouvier temperament that I love so much. Mr. Blaze taught my newest Dutch import the ropes on how to protect us prior to his death. I am forever thankful.
Mr. Blaze’s sudden death hit me like a ton of bricks. He had a fantastic annual check-up in April and died of heart failure just five months later. He did not show any signs of being ill until the last few days. At the time, it just didn’t make any sense. But now, I do wonder if his grain free diet for all those years was the contributing factor?
Blaze’s Pedigree RIP
Miss Jiida was my pick female from Tuesday’s litter of 2018. She is a very busy party girl. Her favorite thing to do is to run circles around all the other dogs and she loves to jump over them. Miss Jiida lives with Jean and Wayne and her cousin Miss Vim Vim (aka Breugel’s Vimy Ridge).
Miss Jiida is an exemplary example of what a Bouvier should be. Unfortunately she will not be shown due to the fact that the CKC breed standard specifies a docked tail. And it is illegal here in BC to crop and dock. Such a shame she will not earn a conformation title.

Mrs Tazz is out of my Bella x Wally litter of 2015. She lived her first three years in Ontario. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to bring her back home and put her in my breeding program. Thank you Dave and Shelley for all your help. Tazzy loves people, animals especially my daughter’s horse and our crazy chickens. Tazz has decided that I need a body guard as she sticks to me like glue. It’s great until she decides she should accompany me in the shower. She is a very unique Bouvier in that she loves using her voice to tell us how disappointed she is when things don’t go her way. Or when she wants to go for a car ride. She is a very special lady. She may look fat in her photo but that is because she is less then a week away from have 8+ puppies.

Turbo was bred by Joanne Wollman of Angelbrin kennels in Rockyview, Alberta. Joanne and I co-owned Turbo when he came to live with us when he was seven. Which is where he stayed until he was called home just before Christmas at the ripe old age of 13.5!
Turbo loved to go for car rides and would spend the rest of the day, spread-out in the back seat of the car, you couldn’t get him out once he was in! Well, not until you enticed him with food, his first love! I swear he could bounce 4 feet in the air, when his food dish came out. Mr. Turbo you blessed us with some very wonderful puppies and you are sadly missed.
Turbo’s Pedigree RIP
Tawny was my very first Bouvier. She was very witty and a little bit of a manipulator. She should have been a retriever as her favourite pastimes were swimming and fetching whatever you would throw for her. I am quite sure she would have swum the Strait of Georgia had I let her. On her first ferry ride, she almost jumped over the railing to go swimming. Luckily I caught her by her collar in mid-air. She was my alpha female that is until Tazz came into our lives. Tazz was Patricia Groome’s (Palay) alpha female. Needless to say, you can only have one alpha in your home and since I promised Pat on her deathbed that I would look after Tazz, Tawny was rehomed and lived the life of Riley with Rob, Pauline & family in Calgary until her trip to the rainbow bridge just shortly after her 13th birthday. We miss you Tawny!
Tawny’s Pedigree RIP
Tazz or should I say Mrs. Tazz came to live with us when her owner Patricia Groome of Palay Perm Reg’d. bequeathed her to me. She was a Canadian champion and produced some very beautiful puppies in terms of temperament, health and beauty. Miss Tazz enjoyed many hours of laying in the shade at the end of a row, watching me garden and protecting me from our on-site bear, our neighborhood cougars, and coyotes. I miss you Tazzy
Tazz’s Pedigree RIP

He is retired from the show ring and living with his foster owner Steve in Red Deer. Thank you to Trina McNeil and Connie Krohn for grooming and handling Maverick for me. Yes, it was a very short show season! The kind I like. And lastly, a sincere thank you to Deb and Steve for keeping him “show ready”, I know how hard that can be.
Maverick’s Pedigree RIP
Bella was pick female from my Lexi x Marus litter of 2012. Bella has her mom’s sweetness and intelligence and her dad’s attitude, which is “look at me I am oh so good looking”.

Miss Bella Bella is now retired and living the life of Riley with her new adopted family over on the island in Comox.

Nikita is Marcus’s and Tori’s sister and was the ugly ducking of the litter, or so I thought! Actually, her adopted owners realized that she definitely had it from a temperament and conformation standpoint and as such, we showed Nikita to her championship which again took very little time. In two short months, Nikita racked up 9 Best of Breeds, 2 Best Puppy in Group, a Group 3 and a Group 4. Thank you to Deb and Les for your Bouvier eyes and to Jacquie Fussell for grooming and handling Nikita for us.

Miss Tori is Marcu’s and Nikita’s sister. She was the pick female from my Versace x Turbo litter of 2010. Tori lived her show/breeding years with Joanne Wollman of Angelbrin’s Kennels in Rockyview, Alberta.
Tori took Winner’s Female and Best of Opposite at the 2012 Alberta Bouvier Specialty.

Buddy was our little Bichon/Shih Tzu X that brought so much joy to our lives for 14.5 years. He was the little Buddy that could. He should have been a cat as he most definitely had 9 lives. Buddy had more health problems then not, including a near fatal bout of pancreatitis, allergic to everything under the sun, had an enlarged heart, seizures and survived two strokes and had numerous eye problems. Even through all his health problems he was our happy go lucky Buddy. He loved to go for car rides, loved to lie in the sun and enjoyed just hanging out under the coffee table (where the Bouvs would leave him alone). Buddy you’re sadly missed and will always be our little Bud.
RIP
Roxy my 2nd Bouvier, purchased locally was an absolute joy as a puppy, then at 18 months something went horribly wrong and she became a very unpredictable aggressive dog. After working with a master dog trainer for 18 months we had to do the unthinkable and have her euthanized at the age of three. Roxy was diagnosed with idiopathic aggression and considered by our master dog trainer “an accident just waiting to happen”. Unfortunately, that day came and will forever be etched in my mind. This gut-wrenching experience is the primary reason why I became a Bouvier breeder. I promised myself that I would do whatever it took to produce Bouvier puppies with sound temperament. Roxy Rou you will always be in my heart.
RIP
