Dogue De Bordeaux Dogs for stud in Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway

Dogue de Bordeaux dogs tend to be protective rather than aggressive without cause. While they may show dominance and occasional dog-to-dog aggression as they mature, early socialisation and firm, consistent training are key to managing their protective instincts and stubbornness.

The cost of Dogue de Bordeaux dogs is relatively high due to their rarity, specialised breeding to maintain health and temperament, large size, and the need for careful health management. Their breed-specific care requirements contribute to their expense.

Dogue de Bordeaux dogs have a notably short lifespan, typically ranging from 5 to 8 years. This shorter longevity is mainly due to their large size and breed-specific health problems such as heart issues and hip dysplasia.
