    We recently got a dogue de bordeaux puppy, now 5mths old, and I am at my wits end. Not exactly a dog lover, it was my husbands idea, I feel sorry for her now. Basically we give her breakfast, then put her out the back garden for the day. Not much attention given throughout the day. My husband comes home and the odd time he takes her for a walk, of I do cause I feel sorry for her. Then she sleeps in the utility room for the night. I cant see how this is good for her, surely they need more attention and play? Also, because of the lack of attention given, whenver I do step out to the back garden, she jumps up on me and tries to bite which is down to frustration I imagine! Any advice for me welcome....I did suggest to my husband we should maybe consider getting rid of her and it caused an argument..


    Hi my name is Paul , I have a large 3 year old male dogue de bordeaux mastiff. With the likes of the dogue de bordeaux you must give them lots of time and they have to be around you as must as possible, as they can grow up to around 14 stone in weight.
    And if she is bitting you now, as a puppy she could cause a lot of damage when she gets older.If you have not got the time to give to this puppy,I would advise you to sell her as soon as you can and give someone the chance
    to train her before she is to old.
    I myself am looking for a female dogue de bordeaux as a soul mate for my dog.
    If you are still looking to give her up please pm me
    She would be given all the time and love she needs in our family home.
    between my wife and my two sons and myself .
    we have a large back garden and a large side entrance
    and best of all is we have the years of knowledge of dogue de bordeaux mastiff.
    thanking you

    Ok people its the "Husband" here, let me just clarify a few points ...

    1. "WE" as a family are not experienced dog owners(yet).
    2. I did not get the dog because I wanted a "Big Breed" it was offered to me and after "A Lot" of research I thought it was a good choice because ...
    She is a medium build DOB. (I saw her parents)
    As a breed it needs little exercise (1 or 2 short walks a day).
    Is great with childern, temperment is calm, balanced, gentle and loyal dispite its eventual size.
    Is a good guard dog (I travel a bit).
    Amoung other reasons.

    I do not dispute the fact that "I" have not spent all my spare time with her but then again it was originally a family venture.
    I do not wish to just give our dog away because everyone has to start/learn how to do things right somewhere.

    What do other dog owners do it both people work during the day?

    She is socialising with other dogs and people (we have people in our home all the timne)
    I/we have been walking her more.
    It was also planned to bring her to a training school for proper obedience training.

    The bottom line is my wife does not want the dog messing up our house!

    I love the dog and would love to keep her but its not an arguement I can win...if anyone would like a prue breed female DOB let me know.

    Thank you for listening to my rant!
    Hi its PAUL FITZSIMONS again if you still have the female dogue de bordeaux mastiff puppy
    i would be very intrested in her ...
    Can you pm me if she's still available
