    Dogue de Bordeaux question.

    Isn't the Dogue de Bordeaux also called the French Mastiff?  Also, how do you pronounce Dogue de Bordeaux?

    yes they are one and the same dog[:)]
     
    its pronounced  "Dog-Du-Bord-oh" (hope that makes sense)

    I would imagine that Dogue de Bordeaux is french for French Mastiff?

    Bordeaux is a region of France[:)]

    Us Dogue owners prefer to confuse people by saying Dogue de Bordeaux....[;)]
    and then if people go "A what?", we say french mastiff...and if they still say "Huh?",
    we say "Turner & Hooch" or "Italian Job" depending on their age....
     
    There's some great info about Dogue's on

    I was just thinking about this the other day and wondering how to pronounce their name...good timing, lol.
     
    I want to own one someday, I LOVE these dogs.  When I worked in a pet store (for a very short time) there was one person who owned one that came in a couple times, and his dog was just awesome.  I have to admit that's the only one I've ever seen in person, but I've always liked them based on what I've read about them.

    About 6 months ago when we had to put down our acd mix we went to our local shelter to look for another dog, and walking through was  just soo sad anyways I saw what I am 100% sure was a purebred dogue de bordeaux. He or she was just laying there I went over to pet him and he just closed his eyes I couldn't believe that he was in the shelter as I thought they were very rare I also saw 2 neos obviously poorly bred. it's just soo sad when people view dogs with $$ in their eyes[:@]
