Character

The Dogue de Bordeaux is known for its friendly disposition and its love for its family. They are very loyal and protective, and will always protect their family when needed.

Health

In general, the Dogue de Bordeaux is a healthy breed, but like all other breeds, they are prone to certain health problems. One of the most common problems is hip dysplasia, which can lead to pain and stiffness in the hips. In addition, they can also have breathing problems due to the size of their head and neck. It is therefore important to pay attention to the health of the parents when purchasing a Dogue de Bordeaux and to regularly visit a veterinarian.

Care

The Dogue de Bordeaux does not need much care, but there are a number of things you should pay attention to. Their short coat doesn't need frequent brushing, but it's important to clean their ears regularly to prevent infections. In addition, it is important to pay sufficient attention to their teeth and to brush their teeth regularly. Because of their size, they also need plenty of space to move around and play.
