Meet Bear, 8 years old, 100 pound neutered black male Bouv, natural ears and tail, and a real Bouv's Bouv!
Cat and dog friendly.
Has lived around lots of people and children, although maintains his aloof Bouv demeanor with all except those identified as his 'family.'
Lives next door to cattle and horses and doesn't bother them.
Has lived indoor/outdoor on unfenced country property. Is protective of property and has run real bears off the grounds.
Will sound an appropriate 'alarm' when strangers enter the property and run
to check them out, but has not been 'menacing.'
He has the Bo uv's sensitive digestion but does well on his regular diet, not well if he gets into the neighbor's compost!
At his age he's a little slower
to jump up from a lying down position, but still plenty frisky out on his walks. We don't think he sees as well as in his youth, but don't have a firm reading on that. He sees his Vet regularly
and records will be available.
He will chase cars if he has the opportunity and is in the mood.
He's living in Salmon Arm, British Col umbia, and needs a new home by the end of April. The BC
and Alberta Bouv Clubs are working on this, but we are concerned with how little time we have left. We so don't want his loyal Bouv heart broken by getting bounced around from home to home..... we hope
you can help us find him a new permanent home.
