History
The Dogue de Bordeaux, it is a medium to large size molossian from France. The Molossoid type has been known since ancient times and played a considerable role in various cultures of the ancient world.. The Babylonians carved their molosser out of granite. They served rulers like Hammurabi as war dogs. Molosses are strong and heavy dogs. They have a commanding head with a short snout and long lips.. The ears are usually worn hanging. According to the traditions of antiquity in words and images, the main characteristics of the molossian have remained essentially the same for thousands of years.
The range of their tasks in the service of man has also remained constant for a long time. The ancestors of the Dogue de Bordeaux served as a hunting dog for large, well-fortified game, especially as a saupacker. They had to catch and corral the dangerous boar until the hunter could kill it with the boar feather, a special spear. This required speed, resistance, much courage and strength. The Dogue de Bordeaux served and continues to serve today as a guard and protection dog. In the Middle Ages it was used for the arenas of animal fighting. Large and small mollusks have always been scattered across Europe. The Dogue de Bordeaux was created as an independent breed with the emergence of modern dog breeding as a separate breed of dog. In 1863 The first French dog show was held at the Paris Acclimatization Garden.
The Dogue de Bordeaux it was already shown there under its current name. The name must be derived from the fact that these dogs were most often seen in the butcher shops of the city of Bordeaux.. At that time the Dogue de Bordeaux they were not so big however, heavy and as wrinkled as today. The monochromaticity required today was also missing. The award-winning male in Paris in 1883, “Battle”, he had a wrinkle-free head with a black mask. The Dogue de Bordeaux often had to suffer the political turmoil of mankind. During the French Revolution in 1789 was almost exterminated, because he was considered the dog of the rich. During the two world wars, the dogs had to suffer so much that their breed was endangered after the wars. Since the decade of 1960 has been experiencing a new boom. To revive the race, it is said that they were crossed with the St. Bernard shorthair.
Physical characteristics
The Dogue de Bordeaux It has an impressive appearance, despite or perhaps because it is not as big and heavy as a Mastiff or Saint Bernard. However, you can see the power it presents in majestic serenity. The standard establishes a height at the withers of 60 to 68 cm for males and 58 to 66 cm for females. The weight of the males is of “at least 50 kg” and that of the females of “at least 45 kg”. Unfortunately, the standard does not provide an upper weight limit. So today we see specimens with 70 kg and more.
Especially such gigantism is at the expense of dogs' fitness and health.. Belgian Earl Bylandt gives 1894 as weight for the male 54 – 60 kg. German cynologist Richard Strebel reports in 1905 of 54 – 55 kg as the best weight for a male and 45 – 46 kg for a female. Such a weight would also do the current Dogue de Bordeaux very well.. The coat of the Dogue de Bordeaux must be thin, short and soft to the touch. Should be “solid in all fawn color tones from mahogany to Elizabethan”. White spots on the chest and extremities of the limbs are allowed when they are not very extensive. This color restriction is also not very beneficial for the gene pool of the Dogue de Bordeaux. All this leads to the fact that today the Dogue de Bordeaux is one of the most ephemeral dogs..

For the Teutons a good Scent hound worth more than a horse. This is attested by a legal text of more than 1000 years of antiguaty, el Lex Baiuwariorum. A document of the year 1459 later attests to Bracken's donation to the Tegrinsee monastery (today Tegernsee) by a Count Kaspar Törring. Already at that time the count systematically raised the Bracken according to a breeding book. The actual Bavarian Mountain Hound also descends from these Bracken.
In 1870 he also grew up Hanoverian Scenthound. This resulted in a modern and versatile helper for the ranger and hunter.. The dogs had to be distinguished by their high performance in hunting. At the same time, they had to cope with the harsh conditions of the mountains. Therefore, sharp stones were not allowed to bother them as much as storms, snow or high demands on your ability to climb. In 1883 took place the first official exhibition of the Bavarian Mountain Hound. In 1912 was founded the Klub für Bayerische Gebirgsschweißhunde, who has since been very successful in caring for these dogs.
After World War II, the genetic bottleneck was worked on by crossing into the Tyrolean hound. Although the breed is very rare, is spread throughout Germany. His breeding is organized in a very responsible way. To avoid “elite or champion breeding” the number of offspring of a breeding animal is limited to 18 to 20. On the other hand, at least one animal from each litter raised must be reintroduced into the breed if there are no signs of inherited diseases. It also, breeding is only allowed with dogs that have passed performance tests anyway. The breeding of Bavarian Mountain Hound is a model, a project, how to breed healthy and strong pedigree dogs, even with a numerically very small population. They are raised between 10 and 12 litters with 60 to 80 puppies per year. These go almost only to the professional hands of professional rangers and hunters.
