Thanks for all the nice replies about Romeo!! I consider myself very lucky to have this amazing dog. The way that people become obsessed with him because of his personality is amazing to watch. My Dad never really liked dogs before I brought Romeo home. Now he loves him just as much as I do!

Romeo turns 16 months old tomorrow, and weighs in at around 120 pounds. I recently took him back to the ranch he was raised on to visit one of his Dogue de Bordeaux friends. They remembered each other instantly and started chasing each other around in the snow. Yesterday we went to the local pet store to pick up some things, and people just flock towards Romeo. His breed is somewhat rare since they aren't AKC recognized. The employee at the counter said that he had only seen one other dogue.

Sebastian....
Your dogue looks great! Much darker than Romeo. You are so right about them being a gentle breed, Romeo plays so nicley with my 3 year old nephew. Romeo also thinks that he is a lap dog since he gets to sleep on my bed, lay on one of the couches, and often jumps into my parents lap while they sit in their double recliner!!! Nothing like seeing a 120 lbs dog lay on someone's lap.
I feel that same way that you do about always having a dogue in the house. I will always have DDB's for the rest of my life! Hopefully sometime soon AKC will recognize the breed, thank goodness that there are many people working on that right now. Have you ever checked out www.ddbs.org?

Well here are a couple extra pictures of Romeo for everyone to enjoy!!
