The Dogue de Bordeaux is a breed of dog that is strong, powerful, and imposing. The Dogue is prized as a family friend and guardian. The breed has been utilized in many different forms, from using their brawn to pull carts or haul heavy objects, to guarding flocks and used to protect castles of the European elite. The Dogue has an even, but sometimes stubborn temperament, and is extremely loyal and devoted to his master and family. However, the Dogue is wary of strangers and can display marked dominance towards other dogs. The Dogue de Bordeaux is also known commonly as the French Mastiff.
