The story of The Show Sight Magazine Article

In October Our Facility was called to interview with a representative from Show sight Magazine for the herding issue in November. We answered each question carefully and are excited to say the interview was published with a select few other breeders of Bouviers. This is the Magazine Cover and the article as it stands in the Magazine.

Along with our other awards that we have recieved this year, we are proud to be a kennel that such a prestigious publication would seek out to tell the public about our wonderful breed.
Thank you Showsight!

Show Sight Interview with November 2008 Cover

The story of the American Bouvier des Flandres Rescue League Garden Gate

ABRL eBay Benefit Auction HAS BEEN COMPLETED! Congratulations to the lucky bidder...

Gorgeous Hand Crafted Bouvier des Flandres Art
How It Came to Be
Last December, an eBay auction of a beautiful Bouvier quilt netted nearly $9,000 to assist the American Bouvier Rescue League in carrying out our mission of rescuing Bouviers in need. $4,000 came from the sale of the quilt, while an additional $5,000 was donated by an individual who became aware of our need for funds through the auction. The ABRL is grateful to these, and all of our supporters, for the assistance so selflessly given so that we can continue our rescue work on behalf of this noble breed.

This year, due to the generosity of  three-time ABRL adopters Larry and Deborah Craddock, we have the opportunity to auction another truly unique and beautiful art creation, a hand-crafted 46" high x 35" wide steel "panel" depicting a Bouvier des Flandres.  A chance conversation with artist Lynn Vellios resulted in a design that not only showcases Lynn's incredible talent in a life-like depiction of this marvelous breed that we know and love, but that also offers optimal structural integrity.  It is a magnificent work of art and we thank both the Craddocks and Lynn Vellios for their generous contributions to this project.


The entire panel measures 46 inches high by 35 inches wide, and is sized to fit within a standard 36 inch wide gate opening in a 48 inch high fence with 2 inches of ground clearance.  Two screw mounted hinges and a gravity gate latch are included. Hinges and the latch portion of the gate (which would go opposite to, and on the side of, the raised front paw of the Bouvier) will not be installed until after a winning bidder informs us if the hinge placement is desired for their intended use of the panel.

 The Garden Gate
The Details
The interior panel (the Bouvier design itself) is cut from 1/8th inch thick  steel plate and the exterior frame is constructed from 2 inch x 2 inch square steel hollow-core tubing to make the item both sturdy and yet reasonably lightweight at under 50 pounds.  The interior panel is centered in theexterior frame, and is welded continuously on both sides of the panel.  The complete assembly has been acid washed to remove surface impurities and then treated with a phosphatizing rinse for corrosion protection and pretreatment for powder coating.

Two coats of powder coating have been applied.  The first coat is a zinc rich primer coat to further protect against rust and corrosion and the second coat is a gloss black polyester finish coat chosen for its outstanding appearance plus its superior resistance to abrasion, fading and checking due to sunlight and weather.  The panel, shown in the photos being used as a garden gate, is the item for sale in the auction.  NOTE: The Trellis is NOT included in the auction, and is shown here only for display purposes.

In addition to the obvious use as a garden gate, the panel is shown here temporarily installed in a (not-included) trellis to show scope and proportion. Similar-sized panels have also been used as decorative wall hangings, fireplace guards, and stand alone "objet d'art" exhibits. Additionally, the panel could be integrated into ornamental iron fences, drive-through entrance gates, or fire screen panels fashioned to showcase the gate panel, or patio tables with an ornamental iron frame and glass top.  Optional stands, mounting brackets and trellises for the panel will be available at additional cost, and if a drive-through gate is the intended use, a mirror image panel can be constructed, also for an additional fee.  Please remember: The auction is for the single panel only!
How to Bid:
The start date of the 2009 American Bouvier Rescue League Auction for the Bouvier des Flandres Steel Panel is March 16, 2009. If you would like a personal reminder as the auction starts, have questions, or desire further information, please send an email to abrldonations@hotmail.com .

100% of the proceeds directly benefit the Bouviers helped under the auspices of the American Bouvier Rescue League, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
A New Registry of Merit Publication is in the making.

Bajoron is proud to announce that we are assisting in the making of the new Registry of Merit Book. We tried desparately to get Bajor's Certification and as a result found ourselves helping in the effort to commend other dogs as well. With our vast database of names, numbers, and Bouvier contacts we have served to provide to the membership lost information on the dogs who deserve to be recognized.

The new version of the book will be available as soon as the ABdFC compiles the information that the committee has put together. This will be a must have for your Bouvier Library!

  • Stunning bouvier des flandres Website Design and Functionality.
  • A Useful and Unique bouvier des flandres Resource
  • Great Writing and/or Informational Quality
  • Helping the Preservation and General Well Being of The bouvier des flandres Breed.
  • Having a Happy Feel and Style To Your bouvier des flandres Site.

We constantly get updates on Health an lines. we are so researched oriented at Bajoron that our database has to be backed up daily on an external site. the information that we get from private owners is invaluable in our quest to know what lines are producing what traits, characteristics and health outcomes. Breeding is not playing "Russian Roulette" as indicated in a recent e-mail recieved by one of our fellow breeders, but careful consideration by the person breeding to what lines have historically produced what health.

It is so important to the future of our breed for us not to look at Winners in the ring, but winners in the health arena and how these breeders are producing these dogs. Criteria for a line needs to encompass, Temperament, Health, Conformation, Character and Health history. If all components fall into place then you are good to go.

It is Bajorons intention to strive for perfection. Help us in our quest by providing us information about your dogs health history with a note and verification for our database. This verified information helps us to meet this goal with health.

We submitted a photo of Cuivre to Nylabone. She and all our dogs lay on the floor and usually have a specific Nylabone that they enjoy chewing . We recommend Nylabone to all our new puppy owners as a source of satisfaction for the puppies. Cuivre was accepted and is featured on the Nylabone site in her favorite spot and with her favorite bone. We thank Nylabone for their feature and endorse the products as a safe toy for the strongest chewers in the dog world!
