About Dogue de Bordeaux

The Dogue de Bordeaux is a massive French mastiff with a huge wrinkled head and short fawn coat. Calm, deeply attached, and often bonded to one person, it’s a quiet but protective family dog needing moderate exercise, constant human closeness, and tolerance for heavy drool and snoring.
