Agile Bordeaux

Hello! I would like to give a short introduction about myself. My name is Hope Edwards. I got into the Dogue De Bordeaux breed almost nine years ago. I fell in love with the German Shepherd several years ago now when I started training at USTK9 in Tye, TX.   

I am a member of the North American Bordeaux Federation. All my Bordeaux' are fully AKC and UKC registered. I compete in AKC and UKC shows and agility trials.

Before owning the Bordeaux I owned multiple English Bulldogs and an English Mastiff. I have a huge soft spot for large breed dogs! I fell in love with this breed when I met Annie. I have learned a lot about this breed through doing research and owning them. I will never be without a Bordeaux again! They are very special to me and they are not simply, dogs but they are family. I do not tolerate people mistreating my dogs or their own.

All my dogs are inside dogs. I have the firm belief that when you have a large breed dog they need to be inside and with you as much as possible. These are working dogs that were bred to guard property in France. I have seen many dogs that have been put outside and have become aggressive.

Along with owning bordeaux I also have two German Shepherd's from Archangel German Shepherds, a pug, and a mutt. 

 I feed my dogs a raw food diet. I do not believe that dogs should be fed commercial food because it's simply not good for them much like going to eat fast food every day is not good for us.

Goals

First off these dogs are all members of my family meaning that I do not think of them just as "dogs." They are very special to me. I do everything I can to keep them healthy and happy. They are all very well socialized from the time they are puppies as I believe this is CRUCIAL to do when owning a large breed dog. I aim to show people that these guys are not just "lazy" as many large breed dogs are seen! They are all extremely active and we do things such as conformation, agility, therapy work, tracking, narcotics detection, and apprehension!
