All the Bouvs I've seen have looked a lot like an un-groomed Giant Schnauzer. Kind of like describing a Siberian to someone as looking like a Malamute, then listing the differences. The Bouvs I've met have all been involved in obedience and/or conformation showing. From what I've read about the breed, tho, they've been used in Europe as police dogs.

Maybe the issue is that I've not met a lot of Giant Schnauzers, LOL. I've only met ONE, and he was groomed, when I met him....

Hey, I must be a schutzhund trainer too! I've been bit by a GSD before. (while drawing blood for a heartworm test, but it all counts, doesn't it?) Isn't a large part of schutzhund bonding with the dog, not fighting it? If you're getting bit by your own dog, you suck as an owner, not just as a trainer. Quit messing around and get a life.

I gotta hunch that question is going to go unanswered, Mic. Wanna bet a quarter? [

That's probably it. [

] I've only seen Giant Schnauzers at shows and in books, but I have seen plenty of scruffy Miniature Schnauzers.

How could I forget the OSU program. I currently take classes there. Blond moment I guess.

Thanks, Jaime! Man, did it bother me when he "thanked" me for my post. Here all I was trying to do was explain something to jennie, and he thought I was backing him up!

I'm wondering if dog_whisper has been banned from this forum yet? He has a reputation for spreading nonsense, vulgarity, and has been banned on other forums for his acts.

He is gone for now.
