Hey, what’s a good Bouvier to do, besides eating and sleeping and finding something to bark at? Well, we can chill by the pool, and although this is Barbados, and the water is warm, we prefer to swim in the ocean. Honest 🙂 🙂

It is a long time since Rhapsody has been out for a walk. Barbados is now in the rainy season, and we are thankful that the storms and hurricanes usually pass North of us but we have had lots of rain, and some thunder storms some evenings. We did have a very dry first quarter […]

Rita is one of my Bouviers. She is large with a forbidding beard and moustache which is typical of the Bouvier Des Flandres breed. Also typical of the breed is that you generally do not find any shy or subservient Bouviers as you may find with other breeds. The Bouvier is a breed which loves […]
