Rare Breed Mastiff Discussions / Re: Dogue de Bordeaux
« on: August 11, 2007, 07:02:49 pm »
Hi.  I have a Dogue de Bordeaux puppy, too.  My husband got him while I was out of town, so I was skeptical to begin with, but now I love that silly, lazy dog.  His name is Julius.

Anyway, I wanted to comment that this breed is supposed to be kind of tough for beginning dog owners.  They can be very dominating and should be taught who's boss from the beginning, so they say.  My other dogs are people-pleasers, so I'm finding this one to be a bit of a challenge -- at least at this stage.

Bordeaux, your puppy is really little, still, so maybe you haven't seen any dominating behavior, but did the breeder give you any advice on handling the breed?  I'd be interested to hear what, if anything, they said.
