Bouvier des Ardenness are best suited for a rural property or home with a large yard. The Bouvier des Ardennes is a rugged dog that can live inside or outside (as long as the weather isn’t too extreme), but they prefer to be in a home with a big yard so they can roam free. They are fairly easy to train.
