Crestview Bouviers

Hello everyone!

So some news… I have started the process of rehoming Moxie and Alf. This decision has sadly been a year in the making ever since I first got my cancer diagnosis. I feel an intense responsibility for these two and ask for prayers or your understanding while I attempt to find a good home for them.

To put it simply - the life I had envisioned for myself when I first got Moxie didn’t exactly go according to plan. I was a determined college student with big hopes of someday advancing into neurology. I was already 28 and had already given up hope of ever marrying or having children. The thought of raising puppies replaced the desire to have babies. I got Alf just weeks before I met my German husband, and since then (for both good and bad) my life hasn’t been the same.

I don’t know where my life will be next year. Hopefully cured and healthier than ever. Rather than leaving another year to chance, I want to make sure my two will be taken care of. I’m eternally grateful for the March 22nd pups who came into my life and then all of your lives. Talk about an unbelievable gift to experience during the peak of uncertainty for my life.

I do want to apologize to anyone that was hoping to purchase a puppy from me in the future. If at all possible I will someday post info about their new home and family - who will hopefully intend to carry on the job. I’ll probably never own another because the guilt I feel is too heavy. However, I know this is the best thing for them since I’ve been struggling to care for them since my diagnoses.

Look who came to visit!

And to answer your question, yes they both remembered one another. Finnley would like the others to know that momma Moxie is smaller than he remembered and the milk has truly disappeared.

It’s funny how they still remembered one another. I was not expecting that one bit.

The mother Moxie stands a whopping 31.5 inches at the shoulder and weighs 90lbs. She is a mega Bouvier. These photos compare how big she was at 9 weeks old compared to her son Yami at just 8 weeks old. All these pups are huge, but Yami stands above the rest at 13 lbs when he was just 7.5 weeks old. I expect most of these pups to be larger than the average Bouvier.

Zola was never one of the biggest, but she one of the most lovable from this litter. She loves being the center of attention and always had a weird photogenic quality of herself. She always knew when the camera was on her, and every group photo I got of the pups, she was sometimes the only one posing for the shot. While most are going to be living across the US, she is very lucky to be able to grow up near her brother Sulley.

Can we just take a minute and appreciate this special moment between Sullivan and his new friend. This pup is living the life in beautiful Tennessee

The one and only, Roxie! They say the troublemaker is the most intelligent, and she definitely lives up to that name. She was the first to figure out how to remove her color collar marker, first one to escape out of her whelping pen, and the first one to come running when her name was called. If you see a Bouvier running along Georgia beaches, you might’ve just come across the one and only Roxie

Is this not the cutest thing?!

Finnley is off to a new adventure, happy to see him go but I know I'll miss him. And with that, all puppies are officially sold!

The last boy available:

The orange boy, though the smallest, is the most active of the litter. He needed more hand-on attention during the first few days and as a result has really bonded closer to people than his littermates. I expect him to be on the smaller side when full grown (60-75lbs). Right now he is taking after his father, and is showing some red color. If that continues he will be one of the only ones with a rare red coat from this litter. Only one other pup is a confirmed red at this time. His personality at this time closely resembles a miniature dog as he is playful, but insists on being carried everywhere at all times.

When asked about the yellow boy’s personality, I compared him to an older brother who will only take so much from his younger siblings. I finally caught it on camera. Fresh out of a bath, he convinces two others to calm down and then continues to groom and help dry off one of the other pups. His name is Yami, and he’s going to be living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

FAQs

1. When were the puppies born?
Answer: March 22, 2022

2. When will they be ready to go to their new homes?
Answer: May 20, 2022

3. How much do they cost?
Answer: $850

4. Is that a lot of money for this breed?
Answer: Most Bouvier des Flandres pups run between $1,500 to $2,500.

5. Why so cheap?
Answer: While purebred with the mother and father both on site, only the mother has full AKC registration. I plan to purchase the father's full AKC registration this summer and the next litters will be more in line with what they typically go for. Price chosen for this litter coincides with how much a Bouvier des Flandres puppy costed 15 years ago.

6. Is there a deposit to hold a puppy?
Answer: Yes, $350. However, unlike most breeders, this deposit is fully refundable until May 3, 2022. At this point the pups will officially be 6 weeks old. The deposit goes towards the total price of the puppy.

7. What about their tails and ears?
Answer: All tails are docked. I have two vets that specialize in ear cropping and it usually happens around the fifth week. Ear cropping is not included in the price and will be extra.

8. How much is ear cropping?
Answer: I will be contacting the vets on Monday for an estimate. Before inflation, it ran around $300. If interested, payment would have to be given 72 hours before the procedure takes place.

9. What forms of pickup do you offer?
Answer: While I hope to find potential adopters within North Carolina, there is a lot coming from out of state. As a result, you can pickup from my home in Sanford, NC, pickup from the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, or have the pup cargo shipped from RDU to your nearest airport. Please contact me or your preferred airline for a price to cargo ship a puppy.

10. Do you allow people to see the pups before adopting?
Answer: I encourage all future Bouvier owners to visit as much as they'd like to get to know the pups and bond with the one of their choosing. If you live out of state, I ask that you ship an item that smells like you so that during facetime, or phone call visits, they get to know your smell as well as your voice. I'm all about creating a lasting bond between you and your new Bouvier puppy.

Thank you for visiting. I expect these puppies to be a various version of fawn, seeing as the mother is a semi-rare silver fawn, and the father is a rare red fawn. Colors will not be made obvious until they are closer to six weeks old.
