Dogue Days
I watched the replay of the Westminster Dog Show last night. I always love dog shows not just to see the dogs, but to note the creative and sometimes very funny names of the dogs that people come up with. This year I was struck by the Dogue de Bordeaux named GCH Evergreen's Rub My Belly at Rising Star! If you're not familiar with the Dogue de Bordeaux, he's the breed that stared in the movie 'Turner and Hooch'! It is also known as the French Mastiff and can easily weigh over 100 pounds. Dogue de Bordeaux are working dogs, an ancient French breed that have been used to pull carts, herd cattle, guard flocks of sheep and protect property. It has also been used to hunt boars and as a war dog. Despite its intimidating looks and success as a guard dog, it has a calm temperament and is a loyal companion, as long as you don't mind a little drool.
