Welcome to Windswept Bouvier des Flandres. Take a look around and don't forget the links tab. We are purposeful purebred breeders we want dogs that can work. We are breeding to the AKC standards to have healthy, structurally correct as well as breed appropriate temperaments and working ability. We don't breed for color, for one thing Bouv's change colors until they are about 3! We don't breed for the bigger is better mentality or necessarily to the latest and greatest. Our dogs have their OFA and or Pennhip (I do put far more emphasis on nice low pennhip numbers the OFA hip ratings) breed health clearances. Pennhip is the new gold standard, vets have to be trained in the program, they take 3 different views and do actual measurements vs the subjective of OFA. We always maintain first right to keep back a pup for the better of our program. We screen our buyers as well as welcome any questions. We will be there for the life of your dog, and we show our dogs and groom our own dogs. We also will be adding several working titles to our dogs.
We are members of the Columbia Bouvier des Flandres club.

Lots of articles on Pennhip site if you dig around. I have talked with several vets who do both and all seem to say hip laxity is improved using subjective Pennhip data faster than OFA subjective data. After much research we will be using Pennhip primarily and will submit to OFA.

When possible we will also be doing rescue. While we will bring back one of our pups and find a suitable home that is not enough for me. I will be working on foster and rescue when I can; I did rescue decades ago and it's a lot.
