Is a Dogue De Bordeaux Right for Me?

A Dogue de Bordeaux may not be right for you. You can avoid some negative traits by choosing an ADULT dog from an animal shelter or rescue group. With an adult dog, you can easily see what you're getting, and plenty of adult Dogues have already proven themselves not to have negative characteristics.

Will a Dogue de Bordeaux protect me?

By nature, the Dogue de Bordeaux is a vigilant and fearless protector but is by no means considered an aggressive breed. This giant dog breed will do what it takes to defend its family but is generally quite gentle and docile (and even goofy at times).

Are Dogue de Bordeaux good for first time owners?

We wouldn't recommend Dogues for first-time owners as they can be challenging to handle and train due to their size and personalities. Due to their size and strength, we also wouldn't recommend Dogues for families with young children or vulnerable adults as they can easily knock them over or injure them accidentally.
