Overview:

The majestic Dogue de Bordeaux, often affectionately called the "French Mastiff" or "Bordeauxdog," is a striking breed with an ancient lineage tracing back to France. Renowned for its powerful, muscular build and distinctive wrinkled face, the Dogue de Bordeaux possesses a substantial, stocky physique, a broad head, and a short, fine coat that typically comes in various shades of fawn. Despite their formidable appearance, these dogs are known for their incredibly gentle and loyal temperament, making them wonderful family companions. They are generally calm and affectionate, exhibiting a strong protective instinct towards their loved ones, though early socialization is crucial. While their size might suggest otherwise, their relatively low energy levels mean they can adapt to apartment living if provided with sufficient daily exercise and mental stimulation. Owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, heart conditions, and bloat.
