Temperament :
The French Mastiff is a devoted family dog who is extremely affectionate. Very adaptable with a high stimulus threshold, the Dogue de Bordeaux is sweet and even tempered. It is important to socialize your DDB early on as they can become aggressive with other animals and reserved with strangers if not properly trained. A thoroughly socialized DDB is well behaved with children, puppies, and even strangers. Playfulness is another hallmark of this breed. They are attuned to their environment and respond to a threat instinctively. They are the very symbol of loyalty and courage.
Grooming :
The short, dense coat of this breed is easy to maintain. Weekly brushing or a wipe down with a dry towel or damp washcloth is all that is necessary.
Exercise :
As is common with all giant breed dogs, too much vigorous exercise can damage the structure of a young dog. Jumping on and off of things should be limited to give the skeleton of a pup time to mature and strengthen. They need daily exercise to stay fit. They do not tolerate the heat.
