The Dogue de Bordeaux is referred to as the French Mastiff. It is a very muscular dog with a solid build, and it saunters like a lion. They make great guards and protectors of the family. Back in the day, Dog Bordeaux used to guard the Queen’s palace. These dogs are friendly with family and friends, but not to under-estimated with strangers. They are large dogs like most mastiffs, and weigh around 125-150 pounds and stand over 2ft tall. Surprisingly, they don’t require much exercise but DO need to room to move around as well as kick back. A nice sized yard would do them a world of good — so would weekly trips to the park.
