Bouvier des Moerman
The Bouvier des Moerman was one of five recognized breeds of Belgian bouviers. Two of these breeds still exist today, the Bouvier des Flandres and Bouvier des Ardennes. The remaining two are also extinct, the Bouvier des Roulers and Bouvier des Paret.
Bouviers have worked as cattle drovers across Belgium for centuries. Bred for their abilities, rather than appearance many different varieties existed in different regions. The Bouvier des Roulers, Bouvier des Moerman, and Bouvier des Paret were lost after their numbers were decimated during both World Wars. Any remaining breeding stock was used in rebuilding the Bouvier des Flandres.
