The Dogue de Bordeaux (French Dogue de Bordeaux ) is a French dog breed recognized by the FCI ( FCI Group 2, Section 2.1, Standard No. 116 ).
Origin and history
In the breed standard , the Dogue de Bordeaux is counted among the oldest dogs in France and traced back to Saupacker of the 14th century. At the first French dog show in 1863, the Dogue de Bordeaux was given its current name. The first breed standard was created by Pierre Megnin in 1896 and published in the book On the essence of the true mastiffs . After the two world wars in the 20th century, the breed was largely destroyed, it was threatened with extinction after the Second World War and took off again from 1960 onwards. The FCI breed standard published in 1971 by Raymond Triquet in collaboration with Maurice Luquet, on which today's standard is based.
description
The Dogue de Bordeaux can grow up to 70 centimeters. The standard provides for a size of 58 to 66 cm for bitches and 60 to 68 cm for males , whereby the size may vary downwards by one and upwards by two centimeters. The mastiff's hair is straight and short. The ears are pendulous, triangular and rather short. The FCI describes the color of the fur as follows: monochrome in all shades of fawn from mahogany to isabel, also with a black and brown mask. Pay attention to good pigmentation. A few white spots on the chest and ends of the limbs are allowed.

The Dogue de Bordeaux was previously used for hunting, but also for fighting wolves and bears ; it is used today as a guard dog , protection dog and family dog .
In the 1989 film Scott and Huutsch, a mastiff plays a title role alongside Tom Hanks .
In the 1992 series Tequila and Bonetti , a mastiff also played a title role alongside Jack Scalia
Legal position
From a legal point of view, the Dogue de Bordeaux is considered to be presumably dangerous in four German federal states and as potentially dangerous in two Swiss cantons. In Geneva , the attitude is prohibited. In Austria , the Dogue de Bordeaux is on the breed list in Vorarlberg , so a special permit from the mayor is required there.
Doguin
The Doguin , which was smaller and lighter than the Dogue de Bordeaux , was probably created by crossing it with the Bulldog .
