My name is Julie D’Hondt and I have been breeding Bouvier des Flandres since 1996. All four of my grandparents immigrated to the US from Belgium, the country of origin for the Bouvier. In 1963, after our demolition company warehouse had been robbed multiple times, my father came home one night and said to my mother “I’m tired of this!! I’m getting a dog that will put a stop to it!! There is a new dog that has been brought into this country and it is from Belgium so it has to be good!!” Soon thereafter we obtained our first Bouvier from a breeder/trainer in Canada and when my father closed the demolition company about 2 years later that dog became mine. I was raised with the breed and I raised my children with Bouviers. I might add that my name “D’Hondt” actually means “the hound” or “the dog”. Then, in 2009, a dear friend passed away due to a brain tumor and I decided to continue her legacy with her Afghan Hounds by raising an occasional litter of Afghans.
