I'm Vicki W., the breeder behind Blue Sky Bouviers located in Hamilton County, IN. Our puppies are bred from champion, OFA-certified parent dogs with outstanding temperaments. They are sound in both mind and body and conform to the AKC Standard with phenomenal beauty and style. They are excellent show dogs AND lifelong family companions! We look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Vicki
Why did you start breeding?
This breed is a passion of mine. I do not produce litters often, but when I do I put a lot of time, research, and careful planning into each litter with a focus on temperament, trainability, and type. I have only had 7 litters in the past 25-years, but each and every one of those puppies has been unique and of the very highest quality that I could possibly produce!
What makes your program special?
I do not breed to make money, I breed to better the Bouvier and to produce mentally and physically stable puppies that make perfect family companions for others to enjoy. I dedicate a great deal of time and attention to each and every one of my dogs to ensure they are well-rounded and thoroughly equipped to excel in their new homes. I also do not produce a litter unless my breeding stock is happy, healthy, genetically tested, and magnificent representations of their standard. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs. I would be honored to introduce you to your next beloved Bouvier!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
