Answer 1

The dog is actually a "Dogue de Bordeaux" here is more info:


Dogue de Bordeaux

HISTORY:

Other names: French Mastiff

FCI Group: 2 (Working)

Country / Date of origin: France / 4th century

The Dogue De Bordeaux can trace its ancestry back to the great mastiff dogs that came across the alps with the Roman legions. From the same stock that produced the Rottweiler, the Dogue obviously has been infused with more than a dash of Bulldog blood too.

For centuries the dogs served as guards and dispatchers of large, dangerous animals. In temperament and disposition they were meant to be aggressive and surly. This has been a stumbling block to the breed's popularity today. Some of the fierce nature has been bred out and they are enjoying a new surge in popularity.

BODY TYPE:

* A typical dogs of the mastiff family with a foreshortened muzzle.
* Height: 23-27 inches (at shoulder).
* Weight: 80-100 pounds.
* Ears are set well back on the head and are small for the dog's size. They are not altered.
* Tail is medium length and tapers. It is carried low and is not altered.
* Eyes are light amber to match the coat tones.
* An undershot jaw and furrowed wrinkles on the brow impart a characteristic scowl and pugilistic expression.

PERSONALITY:

* Beneath the scowling face there really is a pugnacious nature. This breed does not take to strangers.
* A natural guarding instinct.
* Extremely loyal to the person it chooses as its master.
* Generally calm and tranquil in nature. Not a high energy animal. Surprisingly agile when aroused.

COAT:

* Short, fine, and soft.
* Color is a solid red. Dark red with warm tones is to be preferred. There must be a contrasting face mask of darker tone. In the red fawn dogs it is a dark red; in the dark red dogs it is black.
* Moderate grooming.

TIPS:

* Almost unknown in the US until 1988 when the movie Turner and Hooch introduced the breed.
* Those of you who watched the movie already know the biggest drawback of owning a Dogue De Bordeaux - slobber. Snorts, snuffles and spit go with the breed.
* Can be fierce with other dogs and often too rough for small children.
* Puppies should be available in most parts of the United States.

HEALTH CONCERNS:

* Hip dysplasia.
* Bloat.
* Bone cancer.
* Thyroid problems.
* Fungal or bacterial infections in deep wrinkles.

Answer 3

I realize slightly bit approximately the cur, however now not alot. They are not simply used for searching, and so they regularly hunt coons, now not rabbits. Several years in the past, at a rodeo, I noticed a efficiency that had a pair curs. They are herding puppies, and so they herded round a host of longhorns. They are type of uncommon considering the fact that they don't seem to be puppies that nip on the heels, they opt for the pinnacle. They herded the longhorns up on most sensible of a trailer.

Answer 4

Also,very smart, but can be stubborn. Invest in training and be consistent. Crate and leash train right away. Start baths once a week while they are small, much easier than fighting to get a dog as big as you in the tub later on.
One thing no one told us, they only have a lifespan of 5-6 years. Our hearts were broken when we lost our Cossette (Cosey).
