North east finest 105 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Dogue De Bordeaux The Dogue de Bordeaux or French Mastiff is a large, powerful and strong breed of dog originating from France. Dogue de Bordeauxs are one of the most ancient French breeds and are a typical molossoid breed. The breed is used in a range of different ways from taking advantage of their strength by hauling heavy objects or pulling carts to guarding castles from intruders. Appearance The Dogue de Bordeaux has a breed standard minimum weight of 100lbs for a female and 115lbs for a male and although there is no set maximum weight the dogs must be in proportion and well balanced. At full size when the dog has matured then they should range from around 24 to 27 inches for males and from 23 to 26 for females but as the Dogue de Bordeaux is a huge dog with a highly powerful frame its size comes from width and muscles rather than from being tall like a Great Dane. Temperament The Dogue de Bordeaux is a very calm tempered but protective breed and rarely needs to show aggressiveness. As they are loyally devoted to their family they will do anything they can to protect you and the rest of your family while still being a balanced dog. They are very clever but watch out, they can be arrogant, stubborn and dominant so make sure you socialise them early with both adults, children and other dogs.

The teeth meet in an underbite. The upper lips hang thickly down over the lower jaw. The thick skin on the neck is loose, forming a noticeable dewlap.

The tail is thick at the base tapering to a point. The chest is deep, broad reaching lower than the elbows. The legs are muscular. The coat is short and soft with loose fitting skin.

North east finest 105 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Temperament The Bordeaux has a good and calm temperament. It is extremely loyal, patient and devoted to his family. Fearless and confrontational with strangers, he is a first class watch and guard dog. Socialize very well with other animals, preferably starting from an early age to avoid them being aggressive with other dogs. The Dogue de Bordeaux snores and drools. Despite his fearsome appearance, the Dogue de Bordeaux is gentle with children and family members. However this is a powerful animal, and is not suitable for an inexperienced dog owner. The objective in training this dog is to achieve a pack leader status. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack. When we humans live with dogs, we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates under a single leader. Lines are clearly defined and rules are set. You and all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog. That is the only way your relationship can be a success. This breed needs a calm, but firm owner who displays a natural authority over the dog. One who is confident and consistent.

North east finest 105 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Origin There are numerous theories about the origin the Dogue de Bordeaux. It may be descended from the Bulldog, Tibetan Mastiff and from the Greek and Roman Molossus, from mastiffs brought to Europe by the Alans, from the dogs of Aquitaine or from Spanish dogs from Burgos. At the end of the middle ages, the dog was used as a cattle driver and personal bodyguard. Lots of Dogues died during the French Revolution. After the war number rose again. Raymond Triquet and his French Dogue de Bordeaux Club saved the breed. The Dogue de Bordeaux is now thoroughly established in France and gaining popularity in other countries. The breed has served as a war dog, flock guardian, cattle herder, guard dog, trained to bait bulls, bears, and jaguars, and a hunter of boars. The breed was recognized by the AKC in 2008. Group Mastiff Recognition ANKC, FCI, NKC, NZKC, CKC, ORBEA, APRI, ACR, DRA, AKC, NAPR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can't seriously come onto a site with the amount of working dog owners that this one has got and expect people to believe that the jowls on that dog are there for a purpose - form following function? Neither example does anything for me, but if I was forced to choose one it wouldn't be the one with a face which resembles an aged and clapped out old fanny! No offence..
