My name is Zack and I'm a 2-year-old Bouvier. I'm a herding dog from Belgium, officially known as Bouvier des Flandres. I belong to Bonnie and Ron Mizera. My hobbies are running on the beach, swimming, napping, chasing Chuckers at home and participating in Dog Shows all around Alaska. I recently won Reserved Best of Show through the AKC in Anchorage. If you ever see me around, please stop and say 'Hi.'
