Stella L. Margaris Webboard User Reg: 09-23-2002 Posts: 83 Loc: Offline	Has anyone here raised a Dogue De Bordeau? A close friend is getting a new puppy tomorrow and I am getting 'curiouser and curiouser' about this rare breed. I have trained only a couple and both were nice dogs but rather slow (mind and body). Does anyone know these dogs from personal experience (in a home envrinoment for years) who could give me some info on them (behavior, quirks, food sensitivities, etc)? Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. --Roger Caras

Today 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. This breed can be very aggressive with other dogs. Socialize very well with other animals from an early age. The Dogue de Bordeaux snores and drools. Males will not tolerate other males. 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. As of a few years ago a Dogue de Bordeaux puppy cost approximately $1200-2000. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/doguedebordeax.htm Martin Luther died as a great German Shepherd!
