Dogue de Bordeaux is also known as the French mastiff or Bordeaux and is considered as one of the most ancient breed.

After attaining considerable maturity, the height ranges from 23½-26½inches for males and 22½-25½ inches for females. They have a balanced muscular body and are considered to be powerful and massive. The body is structured with a short, straight top line and rounded croup, in which their frontal leg is heavy boned and straight. The tail of the breed is thick and it is tapering at the tip. The skin coatings are soft, short and fine. The color of the coat has shades of light red, deep red, black or sometimes brown.

History
The breed was first found in the 14th century around the Boudreaux region. They are supposed to be the cross breeds of English mastiffs.

Miscellaneous
The Dogue De Bordeaux is an unknown slang name, translated from Greek, "Atlas". Atlas is the Greek God who holds the world on his shoulders.

Keep in mind, behavior/obedience problems can happen with any breed of dog. They may be experiencing problems because the dog is just young, or has been trained poorly or abused. It is important to identify these behaviors and then address them.

Did you know social confusion is one reason that a dog might act out. Dogs think about their human families as their pack. So, it is important that your dog realizes that he is at the bottom of the pecking order. While this may seem strange or harsh, remember that submissive pack members will do what the more dominant members say. Period.

That means you, the Dog Parent, must learn how to train your dog or puppy, so you, your kids and your dog have the best life possible. Why? Because we all want to be respected by other dog owners as someone who takes great care of their dog. However, there are tons of so-called dog training products on the market. Trust me, I have tried them all. However, one continues to rise above the rest -Secrets to Dog Training.

There's an impressive amount of information packed into this guide. It's not just the problem behaviors that are discussed. The book starts off with new dog owner advice (how to choose a puppy or dog, the best places to get your dog from, breed information, puppy and/or dog proofing your home, the first veterenarian visit, housetraining and more). If you are looking for more advance info it covers: behavioral problems (such as aggression, dominance, chewing, digging, excessive barking, separation anxiety), intermediate-level obedience commands, health-related dog problems (allergies, cat/dog coexistence, fleas, heatstroke), and advanced commands and tricks. There is also an impressive section on dog whispering.

Daniel Stevens explains the background of the technique, how to utilize voice and body language to your best advantage, and how to use the technique to calmly, assertively, and effectively correct and train your dog or puppy. Step-by-step instructions are included for basic commands (sit, down, come, stay, quiet).

I Love Free Stuff - Don't You?

You also get a handful of freebies: four bonus books, dealing with advanced housetrainingincluding both the crate- and paper-training methods; a detailed examination on resolving canine aggression; how to effectively groom your dog (including information on coat care for specific breeds, dental care, and nail-clipping); and finally, how to begin training your dog for security work - even if that means just protecting the family home.  

My favorite freebie: a personalized consultation with a member of the Kingdom of Pets team. If you've got an issue with your dog that you'd like some individual attention on, you can send them a quick email and receive a personalized, thorough reply packed with expert advice and practical tips. Now that's service!

I have no qualms in recommending the Secrets to Dog Training package to anyone who owns, or is thinking about owning, a dog. You don't need to have a 'problem pet' for the book to be of assistance: there's information included that can be useful to any and all dog owners.

From personal experience, the only other thing I would do isupgrade to the Secrets to Dog Training premium version because it has an online video series that is excellent as well as software which allows you to keep track of all the necessary and important details about your dog such as medical history, vaccinations, operations, appointments, obedience training, and much more.

In a nutshell: highly recommended
