Teddy - Almost a Bear

Bouvier des Flandres Teddy

The dog in this photograph came bounding down a small track in the Village of Arncliffe, I was a little concerned having been bitten by a stranger rottweiler last autumn.

Turns out this dog is Teddy and he is a four year old Bouvier des Flandres, I do not recall ever seeing one before. He is friendly and just well rather large as dogs go, when his owner came round the bend I was rather relieved.

In the past Bouvier des Flandres were used for herding and cart pulling.... Having seen Teddy I would think they would also make a good small pony substitute for a small child.
