I actually have one of those dogs, the 4th one down. Slobbers fuming everywhere and snores like a pig!

Is that a Dogue de Bordeaux then? Looks kind of like the dog from Turner and Hooch, but hard to say in these pics!

Yeah that's the one, a Dogue de Bordeaux. It is the same dog used in Turner and Hooch film (which was the film that made me want one!) the one used in the film was a slight tweak of the breed though, was even bigger than normal. Mine is a bitch, so slightly smaller than the males, still weighs in at 11 stone though! The kids used to ride around on her.

I volunteered at the local RSPCA, and the ones we've had in have always had a very good disposition, so I'm not surprised they were good with kids.

After turner and hooch, I imagine the breed popularit skyrocketed too. What was the price for them?
