Summary
About Bouvier des Ardennes
The Bouvier des Ardennes is a rare, medium-sized Belgian herding dog with a rough, weatherproof coat and scruffy beard. Energetic, intelligent, loyal, and naturally protective, it excels at demanding work and active family life but needs ample exercise, training, and socialization.
About Bernedoodle
