Welcome to the new home of the Bouvier Club of South Africa!

The Bouvier des Flandres Club Golden Reef is a proud 46 years old (affiliated 16 June 1965) and is the only Bouvier breed club in South Africa. Bouviers fall into the herding category and are originally cattle herding dogs from Belgium. Although large and shaggy, they are loving and affectionate family dogs with a steady and calm temperament. They combine this with being an effective guard dog. Bouviers should always be carefully socialised and trained in order to allow their true temperament to prevail. The first Bouvier was registered in South Africa in 1951, imported from The Netherlands.  In recent years over 100 Bouvier puppies are registered with KUSA each year, although this is decreasing since 2011. Bouviers in South Africa may not have their ears cropped, but may have their tails docked – there are breeders who dock and breeders who do not dock. Bouviers are sometimes mistaken for Giant Schnautzers  even though they are in fact not related at all.

For 2012, the Club Shows are sponsored by Montego Feeds
