Welcome to the World's Oldest Club dedicated Exclusively to the Working Bouvier!

 
The Ubie Fund

 
 
 
The Ubie Fund.  The Ubie Fund was established by Tom  Milton and Ellen Williams in 2006 in loving memory of their departed Bouvier, Ubie.  The monies from this fund are dedicated to the advancement of  NAWBA’s objectives as a working organization (Constitution – Article II: Objectives), and especially for the enabling use of funds to promote the training of handlers in dog sports consistent with the heritage of our breed.
 
Special consideration will be given to NAWBA members who aspire to title dogs in the working disciplines, who are active members of clubs within sanctioned working organizations, and who would not otherwise be able to attend a seminar or workshop without financial assistance. Ubie funds may also be available for other purposes consistent with the objectives of NAWBA as determined by the Board of Directors.
NAWBA encourages training and use of the Bouvier for work consistent with the heritage and original function of the breed, including, but not limited to, protection work, obedience, tracking, and herding.

 (Constitution – Article II: Objectives)

‘NAWBA is a nonprofit organization formed to preserve, promote and advance the Bouvier des Flandres as a protective heritage working breed. NAWBA’s mission is to establish programs to verify the mental and physical attributes suiting the dog to his work, especially as a means of establishing the suitability of individual dogs for breeding purposes; to conduct working trials testing the protective, obedience, search, and herding capabilities of individual dogs as means of providing sport competition and demonstrating the working characteristics of the individual dogs; to conduct conformation exhibitions where Bouviers of proven working character can be evaluated for correct breed type (meaning the physical structure conducive to the quickness, agility and power of attack which is the breed heritage as a working dog); and to produce publications to advance the objectives of NAWBA.
