Affectionate, loyal, courageous. The most ancient of French dog breeds, the Dogue de Bordeaux (“Mastiff of Bordeaux”) was around even before France was France. These brawny fawn-coated guardians of considerable courage are famously loyal, affectionate, and protective. The Dogue de Bordeaux is an immensely powerful mastiff-type guardian. Males can go 27 inches high and 110 pounds. The short, eye-catching coat is a richly colored fawn. The massive head features a Bulldog-like undershot jaw, expressive eyes, and a deeply furrowed brow. It is, proportionately, the largest head in the canine kingdom. The body is stocky and close to the ground, but Dogues can move like lions when duty calls. This muscular breed has been put to work pulling carts, transporting heavy objects, and guarding flocks.

The Dogue de Bordeaux has been used in movies several times, Dragonheart, Payback, Eyes of an Angel, and the only one where the dog got billing, Turner and Hooch. Dogues are one of the breeds that tend to drool a lot, something which was highlighted as part of the comedy in the movie.

In 2012 with the 1.5 K-9 update one of the coats hiding in the new starters was the Dogue de Bordeaux. You could have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter coated Dogue de Bordeaux by breeding any K-9 with a starter K-9 or by breeding together two starter K-9s. The Dogue de Bordeaux coat CAN pass.

Since Amaretto also has the Drool trait in dogs, isn’t it perfect to add that trait to your Dogue breeds? You can actually see the drool dripping from the dogs mouth if it has that trait LOL
