Bauer was our first baby. We decided we wanted a Hovawart in 2013 and we finally got Bauer in 2014, we got him from a lovely family in Ireland who only had 1 littler and went to meet the parents and choose a pup when they were a few weeks old. We chose the chunkiest chilled pup, and what a great decision. Bauer is so sweet (to people he knows!) and a brilliant guard dog. We once accidentally left the front door of our house open for 4 hrs, we came back to be greeted by Bauer on the drive! Our immediate thought was to check there was no burglar remains in the house, and we soon realised it was us that left the door open rather than a burglar! He’s super loyal and very protective of his family, he’s great with the kids too.

The name Bauer is from Jack Bauer (24) – original ha.
