Dogue de Bordeaux Characteristics
The Dogue de Bordeaux, also known as French Mastiff, is a large and powerful dog with muscular body.
These working dogs have natural guarding instincts and they are vigilant and courageous without aggression.
They might look intimidating but can be very affectionate and loyal towards their families.
Due to their size and strength, Dogues might not be the best companion for families with young children or vulnerable adults as they can easily knock them over or injure them accidentally.
The Dogue de Bordeaux is calm and gentle, but reserved around strangers.
This breed could have issues with unknown dogs but gets along with known dogs. They may need additional training to live with other pets though.
Although Dogues can be stubborn, training and early socialization is very important, due to the massive size of the breed.
