How much exercise does a Dogue de Bordeaux need, and should I keep it outside?
Again, as with any other large breed dog, the Dogue will suffer if unnecessarily or excessively confined, whether inside or out. The Dogue loves space to romp in and needs to fulfill the breed’s ancient dominant traits by prowling their own territory. Chained or routinely caged Dogue de Bordeaux will display unhealthy characteristics and behaviors and should not be subjected to such a lifestyle. Many Dogues enjoy water sports. Most Dogues will expend their energy in spurts and settle down quickly.
