What is a Bouvier des Ardennes?

This lesser-known Bouvier breed is a cattle drover from Belgium. In the US, the Ardennes can be registered with the United Kennel Club and American Kennel Club's Foundation Stock Service, making them eligible to compete in all UKC and AKC events. A hardy working dog, the Bouvier des Ardennes excels in moving livestock and various sports if motivated appropriately. These dogs can produce naturally long or natural bob tails in the same litter.
