Despite their fancy-sounding name, the Dogue de Bordeaux is a working dog that has a long history protecting cattle and humans. Closely related to Mastiffs, they have massive heads and powerful, athletic bodies. A serious expression is at odds with the dog’s lovable, gentle giant personality. They tend to bond strongly with one owner and can be sensitive.
