Dogue de Bordeaux

The Dogue de Bordeaux also known as the French Mastiff or the Bordeaux Bulldog is a part of the Molosser family. It is a rather large sized dog breed with a broad head. The dog breed was named after the French city Bordeaux. An indication of the purity of the dog breed is the fact that the whole facial area does not have a black mask like the English Mastiff and signs of this would mean that the dog was crossbred. The Dogue de Bordeaux eventually crossed over to America and gained it’s fame from television and movie roles.

    I just got a pup and it was on the lower end of the scale. He was 1600 but some breeders were asking up to 1800.

    We just in herited Rocko a 2 1/2 yr old DDB.. He’s such a love. I recommend DDB’s to anyone who’s looking for a large breed dog. Just have a care when buying…if possible rescue one. There’s also a DDB Society look them up on-line.
