sorry I meant underbite

Yes, ddb's are very smart. A bit stubborn but eager to please.Once they learn something they will never forget it.I rarely raise my voice to mine.A simple look or snap of fingers is all it takes for mine to sit. Training w/ hand signals not only gets them your full attention to learn but keeps training fun.It also makes you and them calm and patient thus gaining 110% trust and loyalty. Yes they are sloopy drnkiers due to large mouth and over bite. Not meesy eater mine eats slow and calm. I have no doubt since you are familiar w/ giant breeds you would fall in love w/ a ddb. Hope this helped you.Take care.

She may have separation anxiety if she was close to previous owner. She may also have health problems such as tapeworm or round worms. Take her to vet for checkup along w/ stool sample to void out parasites.

He may have a touch of something. I would take him to vet just to make sure. They are a laid back breed, but mine calmed down alot when my wife became pregnant.

With already having two adult males in the family and adding a third you could have your hands full. You might consider adopting a female DDB.

Not all DDB's have a lot of wrinkles, i've seen some with barely none...male and female. If anything, it will make for healthier skin cause if you don't keep the wrinkles clean, it can create infection.

He is not underweight... Mine was 12 pounds at 8 weeks and was very healthy... If he is not riby he's healthy...

feed him eagle pack puppy for large and giant breeds. you will be happy with how he feels, looks, and smells. gravy train??!!! please do not feed your douge this. very high calorie content, little nutrition=very short life!!! get him checked for worms. parasites can cause bad breath.

i give both my ddb and great dane gravy train and they dont have that bad of a breath as dogs normally do but our old dog(boxer)had so bad of breath it smelled as if someone would have cooked rotten fish and sweaty socks in fish oil but we fed him the same dog food so mabey it's just part of who your dog is.we tryed even giving him loads of crushed peppermints and doggie mints but that never worked, it was just how my dog was.

I would say 90 to 110 pounds would be average... Give or take some... Males may be a little more and females may be a little less

I have an 8 month old female & she weighs 95 pounds. Had her to the vet yesterday & she said that was a good weight for her age.

No, not all ddb's are over 100 pds. I have a year old that weighs 95. Put weight on slow.An over weight ddb will develop hip problems. Trust me I love mine like a son, and muscle weighs more than fat. He will feel better, look better,have more energy and do what he was bred to do alot better a little under weight than over weight. They may take up to 2 years to fully mature physically. If you love your ddb and what them to live past 8 years feed them quality food, moderate exercise and love. The weight will come.. as muscle and pure power.

my four year old same thing--how did yours turn out? I have an appointment in 11/2 wks.

i agree with below. they are guardian bred for protection of their family and friends. they rarely bark and when they do the threat leaves unless you invite. herding breeds bark alot not guardian, some are trained not to bark at all to protect. also very loving and gentle with children.

They don't bark alot, they know when a threath is real or not. They are wonderfull with children. They don't train easely, because they are strong willed and stubborn. Not a beginner-dog. But they are also wonderfull companions, and given the right home, you will have the most wonderfull breed in the world. I have 4 of the.

First I would need to know, how old is your ddb? Also, if you think the weight issue is a serious problem, I would take the dog to the vet. That being said, just make sure your ddb has access to high quality food (try adding two egg whites a week to the food) and lots of fresh water. Beware of a giant ddb though- bad hips, shorter life.

try making him sit with back to other dog to get his scent then vice versa. Never face to face espcially another male. remember not every dog will want to be your friend. remember to be relaxed too. a ddb will feed off your energy.

- get him neutered (male ddb do not care for other male dogs) - muzzle him while socializing him with other dogs. Let him off leash with them once he is a little acquainted, but leave the muzzle on and always supervise.

My DDB had dermidex mange.... maybe that's what yours has, take him to a vet and they can do a skin scrap...

They are prone to Dermidex mange, which can look like a rash. They are also known to have allergies (food, vaccines etc.).

My bordeaux is great with my 2 cats. She loves to cuddle with them.

Mine had patches of fur to start go missing when he was 6 months.... Found out he was allergic to the food. (I was using Iams puppy chow Large breed) Pure breeds tend to have issues with Chicken.

I am a Canadian Dogue de Bordeaux Breede and have raised all my dogues with cats & kittens. They get along just fine. They lick the cats a bit too much, I don't thing the cats are so fond of that. lol Put one in a crate and let the other investigate and sniff safely. Let them get acquainted. Then switch and crate the other. They will check each other out. When introducing them outside of a crate baby gate off a room so if the cat wants to get away it can just jump over the baby gate. In time, no baby gate will be needed they will lay and sleep together. Dogue de Bordeaux are very nurturing and like to take care of and protect little animals. That comes from there guarding instinct and why they use to use them to guard herds, because they would protect the heard and not hurt them.

it can but, if they start to fight i know 2 things 1. you can let them play with each other so they get 2 know about the other animal (keep an eye on them just incase) 2. if #1 doesn't work put the cat in a seperate room where the dog won't get it.
