[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5780"] i use bouviers as well, but not as much to herd as for companyonship and when i'm loading cattle. the traits generally looked for in a bouvier are calmness when being around cattle they are working and patience. they will never try to rush things and will never bite the heels or anything like that. the traits you should be looking for are a square dog, high on his feet, with a sound character. no agression other then normal for a shepperd dog. they are bred in flanders, to herd beef cattle to the markets, and as our beef cattle is very quiet and big, they are bred to urge the cattle to move, but not to excite them. that's the reason why i keep them as well: because 1000kg animals should not be excited, just urged gently. i believe this is their biggest advantage over conventional herding dogs like heelers, german sheppards or anything like that.
