Yes R900 Yes Yes Yes. Yes We generally do not home to families with small children and non-canine pets. If we have a special request to consider such a placement, we look at their general temperament with the assistanceof a behaviour consultant. If they are in any way reactive to visitors, birds, etc they will not be considered for such a home. Bouvier owners each handle their integration differently based on their knowledge of the breed – which is a prerequisite. Because of the Bouvier’s placid nature we have few problems with introductions into a new home. When in our area and the owners feel insecure, we go out with a behaviourist to do introductions. To the fullest extent possible – Bouvier owners are a family so we get regular updates and photographs. Access by email to a qualified behaviour consultant. No Should the need to foster arise we would be even stricter with regards to observation and assessment by a behaviour consultant. Definitely. It forms part of our adoption contract that the dog must be returned to us. |
