🔍 Assessing Bouvier des Flandres Body Condition (BCS)

Scale weight is only one component of body composition. A Bouvier des Flandres in ideal body condition (BCS 4-5 out of 9) demonstrates:

Rib Palpation: Ribs easily felt with gentle pressure, without excess fat cover.
Top-Down Silhouette: Clear, discernible hourglass indentation behind the ribcage.
Lateral Abdominal Tuck: Upward curve of the belly when viewed from profile.

⚠️ Excess Weight & Bouvier des Flandres Health

Excess body fat acts as an endocrine organ, secreting pro-inflammatory cytokines that accelerate cellular aging and joint cartilage breakdown.

For a Bouvier des Flandres, keeping weight near the optimal average (89 lbs male / 70 lbs female) lowers the lifetime risk of Glaucoma and Hip Dysplasia.
