I have been rescuing Bouvier purebreds, Bouvier crosses, and "Bouvier Pretenders" aka "Bouvier Faux" (dogs who look like Bouviers but aren't) since 1987. I also occasionally rescue a dog who turns out to be a Giant Schnauzer or some other breed that gets confused with Bouvier. And once in a while I succumb to temptation to take a dog not remotely a Bouv because there is something special about that dog and/or because a shelter director begged me to take the dog. (And I will occasionally foster a Basenji for BRAT, as I have a fondness for these Raiders of the Lost Bark.) To date, early 2008, I have fostered over a hundred dogs in my own home, and I have helped in the rescue and placement of many others. I also do some behavior problem consulting, though I insist that all aggression problems go to an Applied Animal Behaviorist or to a Veterinary Behaviorist with great experience in such problems. I usually refer serious behavior problems to the U.C. Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, which has a great Behavior Service. As of mid 2009, I am affilated with the Rescue program of the Southern California Bouvier des Flandres Club , SCBDFC, (of which I have been a member for over 25 years) as their "director" for Northern California. This makes it easier for me to get dogs out of pounds and gives me some mutual support from and to others in the group. As of 2013, I am getting older ("older than I once was and younger than I'll be" ?) and I find I am doing more and more "go direct to the shelter" placements and more and more "referral to surrendering owner" placements. But for now I am still able to foster dogs. But it is getting to be harder for me.
