There is no definitive theory about the origin of Dogue de Bordeaux. One tells that he was first known in the early of the 14th century in Bordeaux region of France. Second one explain the origin of the Dogue De Bordeaux different way. This dog may (but not should) be descended from the Tibetan Mastiff, Bulldog and from mastiffs brought to Europe by the Alans, from the dogs of Aquitaine or from Spanish dogs from Burgos. The dog was used as a cattle driver and personal bodyguard. Lots of dogs died during the French Revolution, but after the war ends, the number of Dogue de Bordeaux rose again. One man saved this breed - Raymond Triquet and his French Dogue de Bordeaux Club. Dog is now thoroughly established in France and gaining popularity all over the world. This breed has served as a war dog, flock guardian, cattle herder, guard dog, trained to bait bulls, bears, and jaguars, and a hunter of boars.
