I LOVE Hawk!! He is such a beautiful dog I want one. I've been looking at them for a while and I know it sounds bad but when one mine "goes' I getting one of them.

Welcome Jenn. It is great to have someone from Hawaii here. Your boy is very handsome. I look forward to seeing more of him from you.

Well...I know that because you are in the states you can get one from a breeder there. We don't have rabies here in Hawaii so our Dogs must come from another rabies free place if you don't want them to sit in quarantine. I did 2 years of reasearch before I chose a breeder. The one I chose is Aminatan's Dogue in Australia. Therie website is www.antara.co. au. My other dog's breeder (a Bullmastiff), who is here on the island, saw Hawk and thought he was the nicest Dogue de Bordeaux he has ever seen. Please be careful who you get your Dogue from as we have seen one other puppy here in Honolulu who looks like a mixed dog. You cannot tell she is a Dogue. It is sad because her parent paid much more than we did. Hope this helps!!! YOu can send me an email if you ever have any questions about the breed.

Welcome to BPO! You will like it here. Everyone is very nice, they will always share a laugh, smile, or tear with you over your stories and you can always find advice or hints when you need it. We just need one thing from you in return: more pics of your pups :) They are so handsome!

Welcome and all I have to say is a big awwwwwwwww, I have been sold on dogues since I saw my first one several years ago, then I fell in love when I saw the movie Turner and Houch. Now I am officially in love. Jaimie and Michael. We NEED a dogue board, I dont think we have one, then we need a red carpet and balloons and then we need to go to the island and kidnap Hawk because HE IS MINE ;D
wow, he is one handsome boy, I am in so much awe here so my dogs probably wont even speak to me tomorrow hehe
I am sure youll love it here, and please........ . post bunches of pics of Hawk. And tell us all you know about disposition, health issues and everything else about the breed. I believe he is our first dogue on the board. I might be wrong, and if I am, someone will tell me hehe
Bring on the pics

Jenn,
If only you had been here a bit earlier you could have entered the contest for this month and won. Your paw prints are super cute with the beach and lays on. I love it!
-
Welcome to BPO, this is a great group of people. I look forward to seeing more pictures of your handsome boys :)

Gee whiz..I never thought everyone would like my little guys so much. Much Mahalo for all the love and support. MOste people we meet here like to look at them but essentially are afraid even though my boys are the sweetest of the sweet. The question I always get asked is "Will they bite me?". At times it makes me a little sad. This is the big reason Talon is in the animal assisted tharapy program and Hawk will be too. I want everyone to know that BIG DOGS are the best. Aloha & Mahalo
P.S.- I will get more pictures gathered and post them. But first can someone PLEASE tell me how to insert the photos into these posts?
-
he looks like a big lover!

Don't you hate that when you take your dogs out in public and people ask, "will they bite me?". I want to slap them all and say, "would I take a dog who bites around people? What kind of idiot do you think I am?" Then, I remember that THEY are the idiots and I bite them instead! Just kidding.
This is why I spend all my free time surrounded by you guys who actually understand me.

I don't even get the question. Last night I was walking Lady and a small dog ran out into his yard. Lady let him have it for scaring her...and a people hurried out to fetch their small snack...I mean dog.
I'm holding Lady (since I am trying to teach her restraint and how to sit till I say ok)...and she's being a good girl.
A lot of the times people just cross the street while their heads turn in circles on their shoulders and small beads of sweat tear out their pores.
"Does she bite?" Me: "I don't know ... wanna find out?" or "I've never let her loose on anyone...let's try it now. thanks for volunteering"
-
Wow Beautiful dogs Jenn! I get the "will they bite me?" thing a lot and I get a few kids in the neighborhood who actually bark at the dogs as we go by (whats up with that!) so, no suprise, my guys bark BACK!!
-
To bark at a dog who's in his own yard is to ask to be bitten.
-
Aloha! Welcome to the board! I'm a displaced Hawaiian - can I come visit? lol
I never get the "does he bite". :( Now I feel all left out and stuff lol. I actually have the opposite situation and have told children to always ask first because not all dogs are safe with them. So maybe you guys should blame me for the "does he bite?" q's ha ha (I actually tell them "ask if it's ok to pet their dog first". Kids, they never listen ;) )

Aloha from the Windward Side! ~ Hawaii as well...
Love your pics, hope you’ll post more. Your dogs are great! I thought about getting a dogue de bordeaux before Latte came around, great breed.
Jenn you are right the trend here really is that… little pooch... Oh well they don’t know what they're missing!
In our case people just tend to walk away quickly. Most of the time I think it’s because people here just don’t know their breeds. If someone does acknowledge Latte’ they are really curious about her breed. When I tell them she’s a Neo they have no idea what I’m talking about. They just assume she is a large dangerous dog because of her size.
Consider yourself lucky to at least be acknowledged when people ask if they bite (even though it gets real irritating). It’s the BIG misconception since they wonder why we don’t have a purse pup… like everyone else here in Hawaii!

Hello! Hawk's mommy here. It's hard to take pics of Hawk when he is sitting still. He loathes the camera and will just walk away. I'll get some fun action shots of him swimming at the beach this weekend. Untill then here are some shots of him when he was born until 7 weeks of age. I hope you enjoy!!!
