And finally, a little note before you submit your application:

We don't get the elegantly coiffed, classically beautiful, completely trained, perfectly behaved Bouviers. We get Bouviers who are hard to manage, too boisterous for their original owners, Bouviers whoare older and unwanted. Dogs that other people have incompetently socialized, ineffectively "trained," and sometimes badly treated. These Bouviers can be scared, depressed and anxious. Some are angry. Some are sick. Some have given up. But we are BW&R UK and we don't give up. We never give up on a dog. We know that a dog is a living being, with a spirit and a heart and feelings. Our dogs are not commodities, things, or garbage. They deserve as much love and care and respect as the next Crufts champion. So please don't come to rescue in the hopes of getting a "bargain," or indeed of "getting" anything. Come to BW&R UK to give, to love, to save a life and to gain love from one of these wonderful Bouviers. For a rescue Bouvier will reward you in ways you never thought possible.
