Draft Dog
The Bouvier was originally bred to be the farmer’s helper. Carting the milk to market is historically part of the his job description and he is naturally suited to perform the task. AKC recognizes the ABdFC draft dog program as one of our legacy activities. Titles earned at sanctioned club events can be submitted to AKC for inclusion in the list of a dog’s accomplishments. They include:
NDD Novice Draft Dog
NDD-V Novice Draft Dog-Veteran
DD Draft Dog
DD-V Draft Dog-Veteran
NBDD Novice Brace Draft Dog
NBDD-V Novice Draft Dog-Veterans
BDD Brace Draft Dog
BDD-V Brace Draft Dog-Vet
Master Draft Dog (MDD) - 3 successful Draft Dog tests (1 must be ABdFC) Master Draft
Dog Excellent (MDDX) - 5 successful Draft Dog tests (2 must be ABdFC) Champion
Draft Dog (ChDD) - 10 successful Draft Dog tests (4 must be ABdFC)
Champion Draft Dog Veteran (CHDDV) 10 successful Draft Dog tests (4 must be ABdFC)
Even though the dog no longer carts milk to market, the Bouvier can bring a smile to everyone’s face pulling children in a parade.
