Dogue de Bordeaux (French Mastiff) One of the oldest breeds in France, the Dogue de Bordeaux is an immense, muscular, stocky, and well-balanced dog with a massive head. It is sometimes called the French Mastiff—dogue means mastiff in French. Despite its powerful appearance, the Dogue is quite gentle in demeanor. On the other hand, its intense loyalty makes the breed a highly effective guard dog. The Dogue de Bordeaux has a very short, soft-hair coat that requires little attention. Occasional use of a grooming mitt or glove should be sufficient for coat care. However, the numerous skin folds on the Dogue's face do require routine cleaning to avoid irritation and infection. Because of its giant size, a grooming routine should be established early on so your dog gets used to it. Although the Dogue's nails may wear down naturally, check them periodically and trim the nails as needed. Your dog should only need bathing a couple of times per year.
