About Dogue de Bordeaux Puppies From Our Breeders
This is a very rare and ancient breed, recognized in the UKC, FIC, ARBA &
DDBS clubs and as of July 2007 was placed in the miscellaneous class with
the AKC. They will be full AKC as of July 2008 in the working class.
General Appearance
The Dogue de Bordeaux is one of the most ancient French breeds. He is a
typical brachycephalic molossoid type. He is a very powerful dog, with a
very muscular body yet retaining a harmonious general outline. Built rather
close to the ground, the distance from the deepest point of the chest to the
ground is slightly less than the depth of the chest. A massive head with
proper proportions and features is an important characteristic of the breed.
His serious expression, stocky and athletic build, and self assurance make
him very imposing. Bitches have identical characteristics, but less
prominent.
