Background:  A true Jack-of-all-Trades, the Dogue De Bordeax was originally created to protect flocks of sheep from wolves and bears but has also been trained for herding cattle, hunting, bullfighting and guarding both people and property.  In addition the Bordeax has proven to be a loyal and loving family companion.  They are sweet tempered with their masters and very gentle with children.
