Introduction

The American Bull Dogue De Bordeaux is a rare breed that originates from France and is also known as the French Mastiff. As its name suggests, it's a cross between an American Bulldog and a Dogue de Bordeaux. This breed has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique appearance, loving temperament, and loyalty.

In this article, we'll delve into various aspects of caring for your American Bull Dogue De Bordeaux, covering general care, common issues, feeding habits, behavior and training requirements, grooming needs, considerations for pet parents, FAQs, and final conclusion.

General Care

As with any breeding dog, the American Bull Dogue De Bordeaux requires regular exercise to keep it physically fit. These dogs love going for walks on a leash, running around in open spaces, or even playing fetch games in your backyard.

Here are some tips for caring for an American Bull Dogue De Bordeaux:

Exercise

Provide at least 1-2 hours of physical activity per day. Break this into shorter sessions if you cannot dedicate the entire duration to exercise but ensure consistency.

• For puppies under 6 months, do not exceed a distance of about one and a half miles or more than 45 minutes of walking.
• As your Bulldog matures beyond six years, their walks can increase up to two miles in distance at higher intensity if you wish them to get even fitter.

Sleeping needs

Dogs may need an average sleep ranging from 8 hours. If they exceed the upper limit or sleep below a specific point (2-4) during a twenty -four-hour timescale, ensure they consume food as normal without interruptions.

• Puppies need their parents' protection at all costs; you can reduce your Bulldog's sleeping requirements after maturation age.
  

The room temperature in which you keep the Dog should be about sixty to seventy degrees Fahrenheit, preferably with moderate sunlight exposure or a window nearby if your home receives enough natural lighting; however, make sure it does not get warmer than ninety-five degrees at any time.
