We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.
I have a Bordeaux couple who had puppies 4 months ago. We didn't expect it to happen, since we usually separate them when the female is rutting. The father has an extreme underbite, showing his teeth all the time. We kept one of the puppies. I noticed it has the same alignment of his teeth as...
Looking for good books and or videos on training the DdB breed specifically. I'm not looking for show training but more just every day family dog training. Thanks!
I've been training my DDB for tracking for the past year (we started just before the end of last year's season) and my 16-month old DDB girl Barrett just passed her TD3 test to gain her TD tracking title! She did it in fine style too, very focussed and methodical. So proud of my clever girl! :D
We have brought our boy to family and friends' homes since we got him, but I've seen him mark, inside a home, more than once recently. He is 2 next month and intact, we may keep him intact, unsure yet.
Is this a phase, something I can reverse? Or am I doomed? We have plans to have a friend...
Hello everybody,
my DDB "puppy" is turning soon 9 months old.We do a lot of walking and hiking alone and with a bunch of other dogs as well. She is quite energetic for a DDB, but she has sometimes a limp on her front legs (have it checked out regularly, according to the vet it will disappear...
For past few months, our raw fed 1 1/2 yr old turns his nose up at meal time at least three times per week. He is a generally a non-exciteable dog and never showed a ton of enthusiasm when we put down his food. Lately, I sometimes add some sardines or organic chicken broth to food but don't...
I was already starting my English Staffy on tracking training (because we've got some amazing trackers locally who are willing to train us) and so when my DDB puppy Barrett arrived, I decided that she may as well join in the fun.
There definitely hasn't been a DDB tracking competitively in my...
Apollo is 10 months old, he will be 11months in 2 weeks. Apollo weights 105 now and I am wondering how much more weight does the french mastiff typically gain between 12-24 months ?
I am sure the blood line and other factors play a role but judging from his current weight being 105 and 23 1/2...
Good afternoon! I have a 1 year old DDB rescue named Veruca Salt. We love her dearly!
We live in a very hot and humid climate (Florida). I wipe her face wrinkles (the wrinkles on her face around her lips and nose and snount) daily with baby wipes to keep them clean. However, the wrinkles have...
Hi everyone, my name is Joe, and I will be picking up my very first DDB in July.
Can anyone share their experiences of owning a DDB? And what they're like during the first few weeks of owning them?
I'm so excited :D
Thanks for any replies.
Edit: I've got plenty of experience with mastiff...
I just got my beautiful male ddb Beau. Finally after a year of waiting I have found my little bud. He is about to turn 12 weeks old and I am as happy as can be with him :D even when he wakes me up at 4 am :p. My family and I have had quite a number of large dogs from lab, Rottweilers, to fila...
I am proud to introduce our pup Duke (Dukey or Bo Bo as my wife calls him). Duke just turned 8 months and weighs an even 100 lbs. He is great fun and listens pretty well for an untrained dog. I bought the book "Teach your dog 100 English words" before I got him and it has been a big help...
I have a 9 month old DDB and and 10.5 year old English Bulldog. Please recommend a food that has worked - (dry or freeze Dried) for these two type of dogs. They both have skin conditions...more for the DDB - Dry skin patches.
I heard ORIJEN RED is very good.
Please comment asap. thank you all.
Hello Mastiff Community
Phoenix's Dad is a Dogue de Bordeaux and we were told that her mother is a Presa Canario (although after seeing her I believe the she might have some Labrador mixed too ).
Before the criticism begins let me start by saying that yes I know Phoenix was still to young to...
We adopted our DDB last August at 8 months, and love her to pieces. Since we've had her, we have yet to meet another DDB besides her uncle that she was staying with. So finding this forum feels like I've struck gold, somewhere to share and learn about all the unique quirks and quarks of...
I feel like my Ddb dosnt need one he loves his bed and when bad we either leave room or put him in kitchen with gate on and shut door but I've been adviced to get one lots of times ,do you think I will be able to manage without one when older ??
Hi everybody! This is my first post here!
My fiance and I were talking about getting a DDB (mainly I was and she just agreed). After doing tons of research, this is definitely the breed for me. One thing I'm worried about, though, is drill. I'm currently deployed and return home in May. Once we...
