Introducing my dogs

[PinkSunshine]

I want to introduce you all to Dozer, my big boy. Dozer is a dogue de bordeaux (aka French Mastiff - "Hooch" from the movie "Turner & Hooch") He just turned 2 years old and is ch. titled. We show him as a hobby (since neither my fiance nor I have time for full time showing) and just finished him last month. He's a big boy, weighs in currently at 138lbs and is still growing (although since he's 2, we're hoping he stops soon!). His sire was 161lbs and his dam 130lbs so we expect him to get a bit bigger. He has a 29 inch head and a 37 inch chest. But don't let his size fool ya! He loves everyone he meets and doesn't know the word 'stranger.' His breed was created as a guard dog and Dozer goes into 'guard dog' mode at night, which makes me feel safe when I'm home alone. We plan on getting a female ddb, but not until we move. There's no room at our current house for another giant. Here are a few pictures of him, he's my big boy.

First picture is my fav. puppy picture of him!

Next up is Bailey, my year old Yorkshire Terrier. We got him for me to show, since my fiance is the one who 'handles' Dozer. I've loved the yorkie breed for almost 10 years now, after meeting and falling in love with my aunts yorkie 9 1/2 years ago. He weighs in at almost 5 lbs and is a big dog in a tiny body. Anyone who is familiar with yorkies, know the 'yorkitude' that they can have & boy is he feisty. Him & Dozer get along GREAT they really are best friends. Not once has Dozer ever hurt Bailey and I don't worry about him at all. It's like Dozer realizes he outweighs Bailey by 130lbs. When we're out on walks with the both of them, we ALWAYS get looks & comments about "Big & Tiny." It's pretty funny.

Bailey when we first got him. He weighed less than a lb!

And last but not least, is Molly, my 6 month old yorkshire terrier. She is just a little baby doll. She loves to be held and is quite the hyper yorkie.

Here she is at 9 weeks old, the first night we had her home

Here she is sleeping on her back

[anna_66]

I know I already told you this in your introduction thread, but OMG I LOVE YOUR DOGS:D

Dozer, wow what a face! As a puppy and now as an adult he is to die for!

And those two Yorkies, man do I love those dogs! I've always thought if I got a small dog it might be that breed.

LOVE EM', LOVE EM' ALL!

Thanks so much for sharing these pictures and I hope to see many, many more from you and your crew!!!!

[Lori Jordan]

Wow he started out huge as a Puppy,too cute How much does he weigh now?its funny seeing the size diference between the dogs My New looks funny compared to most average sized dogs But they are so lovable!!

[petslover]

I just want to say that your dogs are just the cutest.

I just adore the pictures. Molly just made my heart melt.. so sweet!

and I really like the picture of Dozer & Bailey..

[PinkSunshine]

Wow he started out huge as a Puppy,too cute How much does he weigh now?

Yea, he was a huge puppy. His parents were both on the large side for the breed, so we knew he'd be a big boy. Last time we weighed him (a few months ago) he was 138lbs... I'm sure he's gained since then, but not by much.

[lvpets2002]

;) :eek: Just love these two babies.. They look like Adam -n- Ant.. So sweet..

I have a Newf im not sure how big she was as a pup we got her at 6 months old she is big but with your handsome boy they are more Built

[lv4dogs]

Yes, they are shown in confirmation.

Dozer sure is a handsome boy! They are all adorable.

I was wondering what the prefference is for the allignment of the teeth for comformation in Bordeaux's?

[PinkSunshine]

I was wondering what the prefference is for the allignment of the teeth for comformation in Bordeaux's?

This is the standard re: teeth:

"Strong, particularly the canines. Lower, canines set wide apart and slightly curved. Incisors well aligned especially in the lower jaw where they form a straight line"

but having un-aligned teeth is definitely not a fault. We were worried about it too, since his teeth weren't lining up while growing, but were told by many show breeders not to worry about it ;) And it's proved not to be a problem.

[Alysser]

What beauties! WELCOME TO PT!!! :D
