ABdFC Versatile Bouvier Awards Program

ABdFC Versatile Bouvier Awards Program 

The Bouvier des Flandres is a versatile dog and maintaining that characteristic contributes to the health and standards of our breed.   The breed’s heritage should be apparent in modern dogs.  The ABdFC Board of Governors feels that awarding the titles of Versatile Bouvier Basic (VBB), Versatile Bouvier Excellent (VBX), Versatile Bouvier Champion (VBCH) and Versatile Bouvier Grand Champion (VBGCH) will help maintain these breed characteristics.  However, award titles are not restricted to just our  

breed’s “heritage”.  Since we do very little droving of cattle down farm roads today, other titles also represent what Bouviers do in modern times.  The focus of these annual award titles is to encourage owners to train and enjoy their Bouviers in a variety of ways, with heritage venues earning higher point values than activities that are not necessarily heritage in nature.   

Versatile Bouvier titles are awarded once a year at the ABdFC Annual Awards Dinner, held in conjunction with the National Specialty.  Each Member team will receive an Award Certificate and a medallion or plaque signifying the level of each team’s accomplishments.  The Bouvier’s name and titles will appear on the back.  Awards earned will be Bronze-tone for VBB, Silvertone for VBX, Gold-tone for VBCH, and a plaque for VBGCH.  There is no cost to the Applicant.  

Always Bouviers salute those dog and owners who have earned a title for Versatile Bouvier
