BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY - The Dogue de Bordeaux is one of the most
ancient French breeds, probably a descendant of the Alans and, in
particular, the Alan Vautre of which Gaston Phebus (or Febus), Count of
Foix, said in the 14th Century in his Livre de Chasse, that "he holds his
bite stronger than three sighthounds". The word "dogue" first appeared at
the end of the 14th Century. In the middle of the 19th Century these
ancient dogues were hardly known outside the region of Aquitaine. They
were used for hunting large animals such as boar, for fighting (often
codified [to rules]), for the guarding of houses and cattle and in the
service of butchers. In 1863 the first French dog show took place in Paris
in the Jardin d'Acclimation. The Dogues de Bordeaux were entered under
their present name. There have been different types - the Toulouse type,
the Paris type and the Bordeaux type, which is the origin of today's dogue.
The breed, which had suffered greatly during the two world wars, to
the point of being threatened with extinction after the second world war,
got off to a fresh start in the 1960's.
