Dogue de Bordeaux is a French Mastiff breed
Known by many names, Dogue de Bordeaux is a large French Mastiff breed particularly known in France as early as the 14th century. One of the earlier breeds of Dogue de Bordeaux was seen around Bordeaux, a port city in the Southwestern part of France. The breed was first exhibited in France in 1863 and gained popularity all over the country. Slowly and steadily the breed became famous in the other parts of the world as well and the first Dogue de Bordeaux in the UK was seen in the Kennel Club Gazette in 1897.
