I am very accustomed to rottweilers now. I really do not know what I will do. Greta and Lou, of course, are aging, but I want to think they have a lot of time left. Some day I may go down to one dog, because I may rearrange things and/or move out of the country. But, of course I will never, ever give up any of my dogs...ever! They will live with me through their last days.

Hi,
I'm a dogue de bordeaux owner. I have a three year old girl who is the love of my life. My breeder told me once I had one of these dogs, I would never want anything else. She was simple to train, very smart, seems to be a logical thinker. This is a breed that is very protective of the family, they act as a body guard. Its just something she does, I didn't have to show her anything. They just want to please you, if you ask them to do something, they will (as long as they understand!) They also need alot of attention, this is not the dog to be left alone alot or kenneled away from the family. Their health will suffer (they lose their spirit). I also would not advise a beginner dog owner to get one of these dogs, they can have very stong personalities (like any guarding dog...rotties, shepards) you can't be afraid of them and you must correct them (not physically!) if they challenge you. I feel so safe with her, she is about 130 lbs. although that is pretty big for a bitch. They do tend to have some joint problems (hips, knees) but most large breed dogs tend to have these problems within the breed. The bordeaux has such a small gene pool that it is difficult to breed this out. My girl had tohave knee surgery and even though this happened I would still get another one, they are just a wonderful dog. If you want to check out the breed go to www.bighousebo rdeaux.com This is my breeders site and she is just awesome (the dog at the top of the page is my girls daddy!) . I tried to attach a photo of my girl "gracie" hope it works. If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks, dirdee dog
