A brief presentation of the Bully Bordeaux |
| The Bully Bordeaux is a hybrid breed. Its parent breeds are the Bullmastiff and the Dogue de Bordeaux. It is considered a giant breed and often bears the closest resemblance to its Bullmastiff parent. It's a very affectionate, child-friendly dog. In fact, this giant breed loves to spend time indoors with its family. He'll need plenty of exercise, but he'll need to spend that time with you. He has a rough coat that doesn't require much maintenance. He is above all a companion dog, and even if he is a very big dog, he will try to spend as much time as possible on his owner's lap. |

A little of the Bullmastiff |
||
| The Bullmastiff is a descendant of the Molosser, believed to have originated in the mountains of Asia. Mastiffs are depicted in ancient Greek and Egyptian works of art. The Mastiff was once a sheepdog and was also used in war by Kubla Khan. Unfortunately, the Mastiff has also been used as a fighting dog. However, the Mastiff is a fairly gentle breed today. | ||

Needs and activities of the Bully Bordeaux |
| The Bully Bordeaux is a fairly active dog. However, it should be an indoor dog. Above all, the Bully Bordeaux wants to be with its family. He may suffer from separation anxiety if he spends a lot of time away from his family, which could lead to chewed furniture or other destruction inside your home. Most owners agree that at least one hour of exercise a day is optimal for the Bully Bordeaux. The Bully Bordeaux loves trips to the dog park and playing with children. Because of its size, some may find it intimidating, so plenty of trips to the park will allow it to hone its people skills and work energetically at the same time. |
Maintenance of the Bully Bordeaux |
| The Bully Bordeaux is actually a very low-maintenance dog. You could brush him once a week. Bathe him only when necessary, as his natural oils will keep his coat healthy and shiny. If your Bully Bordeaux puppy inherits Mastiff wrinkles, you'll need to clean the wrinkles daily to avoid bacterial infections. To clean, use a damp washcloth to wipe between the wrinkles. Make sure you don't leave the area damp, as this could encourage bacterial growth. You should brush your hybrid's teeth at least three times a week, but if you want to prevent gum disease, brush every day. Trim your dog's nails every two weeks and watch for lameness, which could mean a broken nail. |
