Lucy's Dog House 

The Dogue De Bordeaux was originally bred for the sport of dogfighting in France in the nineteenth century, particularly in the southern part of France in the region of Bordeaux, but dogfighting has be banned for many years now. It was at one time known to have another breed similar to it called the Doguin, which was considerably smaller than the Dogue. The Doguin slowly withered away while the Dogue began to flourish. They have just gained full recognition by the AKC which begins in July 2008.

History

The Dogue is a calm dog that rarely barks, is friendly, curious, attentive and brave. They will form a very close relationship with their family and protect them whenever they feel that there is a threat. They are excellent guard dogs and untrusting of strangers. They will relax once their handler relaxes. They are also kind and protective of children. This breed can show dominance towards another dog so early socialization is needed. They bond very strongly to their family and may suffer seperation anxiety if their handlers are gone for long periods of time.

Behavior

The appearance of the Dogue is a massive, well balanced, muscular dog that exudes power. They are not long legged mastiffs. They have a short coat that does not require a lot of attention. They have a massive head that is topped with wrinkles and ears that naturally fold over. The coat colors are Mahogany red or Red-Brown and may have some white markings on the coat also.
