Welcome to Bluegrass Farms
PUPPIES ARE HERE!
Follow the Puppies Link at the top of the page for information.
Bluegrass Bouviers is a premier dog breeding facility. We provide a full range of support and services to family dog buyers, breeders, and show homes. We have older dogs available for adoption as well.
We have recently added Miniature Schnauzers to our program. We look forward to showing, breeding and enjoying this wonderful breed.
Along with our canine companions, Catherine & Richard have a small flock of Wensleydale Sheep. These longwool sheep have been added to the farm to produce wool for the handspinning market.
Our Breeding Process
We plan our litters carefully and raise the puppies carefully. The puppies are gradually exposed to the sights and sounds of human society to insure a beginning is made towards a properly socialized dog. Puppies vary somewhat within each litter. We observe the individuals closely, trying to make certain we place the right puppy in the right home, depending on the buyer’s situation and expectations. If we do not have a puppy appropriate for a particular buyer, we tell them, if possible, where they might get such a puppy. Puppies are sold with a solid, written guarantee.
We use mostly Dutch stock in our breeding program because we believe, with exceptions, the best, most complete Bouviers are being bred there. We imported Yannick from the Netherlands, and bring in semen from particular Dutch studs to inseminate our bitches. There are easier ways to breed dogs, but we have been pleased with the results.
We breed to the American standard and resist the latest fad or fashion that is contrary to that standard. We do not breed overly large Bouviers with extreme angles. We breed Bouviers that are proper in size and movement-they might never see a cow but are built to herd with their strong, solid bodies and to move with agility and grace.
Your calls and emails are welcome. We will be happy to discuss Bouviers, our specific dogs, or dogs in general with you.
