Let's talk Dogues de Bordeaux

The unmistakable mug of the Dogue de Bordeaux is full of sweet folds of chestnut brown fur and a charming pushed-in snout. This mastiff-type breed is traced most to the 14th century and the French city of … Bordeaux! The Dogue de Bordeaux carries the best traits of their homeland: Swagger, nobility, confidence and, most of all, love of family. Their immensely powerful body is topped by a blocky head which produces a good amount of drool—just another part of them to love.
