Problemas de Saluds

Problemas de Salud

It is not an easy dog to breed. Litters are generally small. Cesarean sections are often needed at birth because the puppies have extremely large heads. The dams are so broad chested that they often lie on their stomachs to nurse their pups, sometimes squashing them.

Breeders must watch out vigilantly for the pups or some will probably be lost. Females tend to be very protective of their puppies. Hip dysplasia can be an issue. To help prevent the chance of hip or elbow dysplasia developing make sure your dog is on a healthy, well proportioned diet, and avoid excessive running and jumping while still a puppy as this can be hard on the developing joints.  Be aware that due to their size they have an increased chance of bloat, leading to a twisted stomach, feed two or three small meals a day, instead of one large one. To minimize the risk of your French Mastiff developing any hereditary health issues, you should buy a Dogue de Bordeaux puppy from a reputable Dogue de Bordeaux breeder.

Condiciones de Vida
