Description

The Dogue de Bordeaux is a large, powerful breed known for its distinctive wrinkled face and gentle nature. Originally bred as a guard dog and for hunting large game, they are now popular family companions. Despite their size and intimidating appearance, they can be affectionate and playful with their families. However, their strong protective instincts and high energy levels require experienced owners who can provide adequate training and socialization. Early socialization is crucial to ensure they are well-adjusted and friendly with other pets and people.
