Information on the Dogue de Bordeaux
Many theories abound regarding the ancestry of the Dogue De Bordeaux. Some sources claim that this breed is a
descendant of the mastiff, such as the Greek or Roman Mollosser. Whatever its origin, this breed has played
several different roles throughout history, including serving in war and guarding flocks. It also participated as a
fighter in gladiator type events, where it fought against other dogs, bears and bulls. It is said that the Dogue De
Bordeaux was used as both a human bodyguard and cattle driver toward the end of the middle ages. History
suggests that this breed was used to defend the estate of noble men. Many were killed during the French
Revolution but a Frenchman by the name of Raymond Triquet was accredited with saving the breed from extinction.
This he did, when he founded the French Dogue De Bordeaux Club.
While still a rather rare breed in America, the Dogue De Bordeaux is more popular in France and has gained
popularity in other countries as well. The Dogue De Bordeaux certainly became popular in 1989 with the release of
the movie, "Turner and Hooch." I believe we were all in awe, when we first saw Hooch. His massive and wrinkled
head, his huge and powerful jaw, the stocky muscular body, his strength, power and the list certainly goes on and
on. Though their looks may not reflect it, the Dogue De Bordeaux can be a very loving, docile, loyal and dedicated
friend to their owners and families. If trained early they can also get along with other pets. But, this has to be done
while the Bordeaux is a young puppy.
