Ivy Bordeaux is located in Mesquite, TX, just southeast of Dallas.  Our Dogues are from excellent, proven AKC bloodlines.

They have superb temperaments, size, heads, health, and most are of the desired darker red variety. Ivy Bordeauxs are raised as part of the family.  We've had Bordeauxs in our family since 2004 and have our bloodlines in the AKC Foundation Stock when they 1st recognized the breed. We were also featured in Dog Fancy magazine in 2008. We maintin an A+ rating with the BBB and have a great Facebook following. We stand behind our dogues like no other.

If you are new to the Dogue de Bordeaux (or French Mastiff), it is an incredible breed.  They are hands down the best family/guard dog I've ever seen. Their incredibly strong love for their family is amazing. They absolutely love and instinctually protect children. There is no better breed with children in my opinion. 
As with most Mastiffs, they are very laid back, sleeping or lying around with a watchful eye the majority of the day. They are very quick to alert you of strangers.  Their ground-rumbling bark will keep away strange guests, but with your permission they will gladly grant them access, and then probably share some slobber. Every once in a while though, it is very important to know a pup will require a strong owner.

In most areas it is absolutely essential they have access to the indoors, especially here in Texas.  Due to their size they do not tolerate high temperatures (they love the colder weather!).  A doggy door to your home or at least temperature-controlled dog quarters is necessary. As stated above they are big-time lovers and will absolutely not do well if you leave them alone for long periods of time.
Please beware, if you choose this breed, you will probably never want to go without one ever again! Please click links below for pics and info on each of our dogues and and upcoming litters.
