About the Bouvier des Flandres
The Bouvier des Flandres is a breed that originated in Flanders. They do general farm work like cattle droving, sheep herding, cart pulling, and work as guard dogs, police dogs and security dogs.

These dogs were used by the French in WWI to carry messages to the front and also to hauling equipment. By the end of the war they were severly depleted but some dog enthusiasts from Belgium stepped in and successfully bred the dogs back to healthy numbers. Then in WWII Hitler ordered them all killed on sight because one bit his hand, and again the people of Belgium re-established the breed.

They are are not exceptionally long lived and don't usually pass the age of ten.
