Over 20+ years and have always had at least one Bouvier present.
Smart, stable, loveable, protecting, big but agile, 2x the biting power of a shepard or doberman and I know, without a doubt or hesitation would give up her life protecting "her" family.
Sleeps at the beginning of the hallway which leads to the kids rooms. There is only one way in and that is where she sleeps. She will not sleep in one of their rooms unless the other child is not home.
My guns are locked up. Bat in my room, entry closet, 16 year old sons room(multi), and garage(multi).
Hokey music--shows the dog potential though.
