advice and help to the club's members and breeders.
We are proud to present our breeds on this homepage, and ask all interested parties to contact us

Bouvier des Flandres
With it's origin as a cattle herding dog from Flandern, the Bouvier is the only breed in the club being placed in FCI's group 1. A bouvier should have a wire haired and harsh coat and dense under wool underneath. It sheds very little, but the coat needs regular trimming. As it's "club friends" the Schnauzers it also can easily be recognized with its massive beard with moustache and eyebrows and has more and coarser coat on the body.
Schnauzer variants
There are 3 different sizes of Schnauzers; Giant Schnauzer, Schnauzer and Miniature Schnauzer. The breeds are all placed in FCI's Group 2, and the country of origin is Germany. In general for all 3 are structure of coat, exterior and in several ways temperament. Independent of it's size a schnauzer is lively with a "glimpse in the eye", and has a mind of it's own. The coat is wire-haired and harsh with dence under wool who needs regular trimming to maintain structure and color. The structure makes the coat water repellant and easy to comb through. All Schnauzers are recognized by their beard, moustaches and eyebrows, who gives you a glimpse of an alert and brave dog. They all have longer coat on their legs than the rest of the body. If one trims the coat correctly, there are minimal shedding from these breeds.
All breeds are quadratic, strong, but also elegant dogs, moving with earth winning, elegant and
elastic gait, without being extreme. The background is slightly different, though. The Schnauzer is
the orginial dog who later on gave the Miniature Schnauzer. The Giant Schnauzer's origin is not
certain, see the breed standard. To read more about the different breeds,
