Yahoo! Bouvier mail list is also gen'l conversation about Bouviers. It is now moderated by Jim Engel. As I resigned from that list, I can't characterize it's personality. At one time, there was a good international contingent & some knowledgeable Bouvier aficionados amongst it's members however it was frequently fractious & a relatively few members participated on a regular basis. However, I don't know what its like now.

There are a few other minor groups including George Grippo's "Bouvier Social Club", a tiny herding only list & the exclusive Jim Engel group on Yahoo!

mIRC is better for chat groups, i.e. people who come together on a special server @ a specific time to chat. There are a couple of Bouvier groups that are currently active.

If you already have the mIRC program on your system, #bouvchat can be found on the Sand Net server.
