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 Sloughi
An elegant, long-legged sighthound from North Africa with a short coat, a gentle expression, and a strong prey drive.

Close companionship, early socialization, and a warm place to rest are important parts of its daily life.
