Entries from August 2009
This past Sunday despite the warm, humid weather, Karl and I decided to get George and Petunia out and about at the Promenade in Saucon Valley. As we were walking we met a family who had just lost their five year old Bouvier. Anyone who has lost a beloved dog knows how difficult a time it can be. Although your dog can never be replaced there is nothing like a wiggling, fuzzy, kissing puppy to put a smile on your face. Which lead this family to open their home and hearts to George now known as Eddie.
We would like to welcome the entire Rossi Family to the Mohr Bouvier Family. Eddie ’s new family is very diverse. We have Dr. Joe who is the founder of North Penn Vet Hospital located in Lansdale, PA, his wife Jill and their three children Joey, Alexa and Evan. Now the diversity comes with the four legged family members, several Norwich Terriers which Jill shows and breeds, an Irish Wolf Hound, Irish Sport Horses, cattle and sheep. I hope I did not miss anyone. Eddie’s life is going to not only be filled with lots of love but some very exciting adventures with all his new friends.
We look forward to hearing stories and seeing pictures of their newest family member.
Petunia is still available and looking for her perfect home. But until that family finds her she has started with her housebreaking and gets to walk with the “Big Guys” in the morning and hang out with them all day. Houdini has taken her under his paw and is showing her the ropes of being a good farm dog.
If you know of anyone who would be a perfect match for Petunia please give them our phone number 610-285-4682 or they may contact us through our website.

As everyone knows, earlier in the spring Lola gave us five adorable puppies. We have found wonderful homes for three of her puppies but are still looking for the perfect homes for George and Petunia.
SOLD! – George is a very handsome boy with a working mind. If there is something new George is the one who checks it out. He loves learning and would make a fantastic addition to a family with children or for a family who has a farm. He likes to be in the thick of things and helping out. But don’t let that fool you, George also loves to cuddle and give lots of kisses.
Petunia is our sensitive girl. She is a beautiful girl who loves to play quietly, snuggle and be by your side. Petunia would be perfect for a quiet family or a retired couple. Unlike George, Petunia feels working is really overrated. Petunia lives by the motto “why do work when you can sit back and watch!” Petunia loves to go for walks on her leash and meet new people.
If you know of anybody that would make a wonderful match for either George or Petunia please give them our name and number (610-285-4682) or they may contact us through our website.

We always enjoy sharing our resources. Here is a list of services with names and contact information. If you know of a service that should be included please let us know.
Grooming:
K-9 Design 610-489-2424
If you want your Bouvier groomed by someone who has specialized in the breed for 20+ years then give Karen a call. We have used Karen for too many years to mention and feel she is well worth the drive to Collegeville. I honestly think Karen could groom a Bouvier in Full Coat with her eyes closed she is that good!
Groomingdales 610-481-9577
Lisa has been grooming Bouviers for a number of years and is located in the Lehigh Valley. In fact, thanks to Lisa referring a friend to us, Nancy and Mike Koch have joined the Mohr Bouvier Family! Lisa has three Mohr Bouviers as her customers and does a wonderful job keeping them looking great and smelling sweet.
Supplements for a Healthy Dog:
Nancy Koch 610-481-9137
Nancy is the proud Mom of Heffala and Aunt to Gus both from our 2006 litter. But it is Nancy’s knowledge and passion for alternative ways of supporting a dog’s health that makes her a wonderful resource for supplements. Nancy’s first Bouvier Mandy had Lymes disease along with other health issues. Nancy’s devotion to helping Mandy live a long and happy life took her down a path of research and the result was finding the positive affects supplements could provide. We have used several of the supplements Nancy has recommended and have been amazed at the results.
Obedience Training:
Bill’s Dog Training 484-767-9847
Bill not only owns a Mohr Bouvier but he has trained quite a few and their owner’s. Bill has group classes along with private lessons when requested. Classes are from Beginner Class up to Advance Class. Although Bill won’t admit this he has an Advanced Bouvier Class. And yes other breeds are always welcome but it seems to end up being filled with Mohr Bouviers. Belle is usually in attendance to make sure her kids behave themselves and remember that she is “BOSS”!!
Paintings and Wild Life Art:
Bob McGee 610-966-1437 mcgeeart@ptd.net
Bob and his wife Carol are the proud owners of Moose. When Bob and Carol came to our farm to meet the puppies, Bob shared with us his love of art and animals. We are very anxious to see more of his work. Give Bob a call or email him if you are interested in having a painting of your Bouvier. I am confident he will be able to capture on canvas the true essence of your beloved Bouvier.
Draft Equipment:
Roy Martin 610-682-6445
Roy is a wood crafter by trade. He can make anything from a simple stool to and elaborate cabinet. Roy can also custom make a cart for your Bouvier to pull. If you don’t want to go the route of custom, Roy can also order a manufactured cart from his contacts. This is the individual Karl and I purchased Houdini’s cart that was featured in “Is That a Cart Behind That Bouvier?”
Mervin Martin 717-656-4792
If you have a cart for your Bouvier you will need a harness. We had Houdini’s harness made by Mervin. You will need to have Mervin see the cart and measure the dog to have a perfect fit. A harness can be made in either leather or nylon in a variety of colors.
