Roux is a Dogue de Bordeaux. He has already doubled in weight since we got him in May, and he is expected to get to about 160 pounds! He was part of a litter of 10, which is unusual for the Bordeaux breed. He has been a great companion to our Westie, besides dragging her around by her collar, and a gentle soul to our cat and visitors. His mellow personality gets compliments from all ages, and when he rides in the bicycle basket he literally stops traffic on the Venice Boardwalk. He has been a spectacular addition to our family.
Never seen this breed in my life and oh my goodness I will now have to find as much information as possible about them. He is gorgeous. Sorta looks like a boxer/pit bull with the coloring of yesterday's puppy. Very interesting-looking breed :) Oh what a sweetie though. I love his happy face and the sneak attack on your Westie. LOL.
Roux how beautiful you are! I dont think you'll fit through that hatch much longer :) Congratulations
How absolutely wonderful - two days in a row we get sweet little funny faces who give us just a little bit of sweet pink puppy tongue! Scratch on the big broad head for Roux!
Roux is such a cutie. 160 pounds? OMIGOSH.. he's going to be a BIG boy! Biscuits and bellyrubs from Pam in Toronto.
YOU ARE SOOO BEAUTIFUL ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU ARE GOING TO GET STUCK IN YOUR DOGGIE DOOR. AND WHAT A CUTIE-PIE AND SUCH A SPECIAL PUPPY.
its a hard life when you look this irrisistable, would love to see photo of roux in the cycle basket.
Wait!!! I just looked them up!! Yikes! He will be huge and jowely and slobbering! Oh my gooness! Awesome!!! B and B's Mom
Roux, you are one handsome pup!! Although your furrowed brow, sad blue eyes and little peek-a-boo tongue are adorable, what I absolute love about you is how you've tucked your paws in, just like a kitty-cat. It's utterly endearing. Have a grand life; it looks like you'll deserve it ten times over. (a big on that forehead!)
I meant "a big SMOOCH on that forehead" in my previous comment. (Love the fierce "I'm gonna eat you!" look on Roux's face in this one...)
He is soooo cute! It was hard to choose a favorite pic! When I first saw him I though: if you sketch his face he would make a perfect cartoon dog! ;) Anyhow, best of luck and wishing many years of happiness.
He looks likes he's thinking, "I wouldn't EVER chew your shoes up! Don't you believe me?" He sounds great. What a guy! And he's beautiful, a very handsome lad. Enjoy him, you're all lucky.
Love your wrinkle face. You are so very very cute. Hope momma will post you when you are completely grown. Happy world to you honey pie.
What a handsome guy you are Roux. I can imaginge the near accidents you cause when riding in bike basket because people cannot resist taking a second glance at such a stiking dog!
Love the name . I always wanted a dog named Roux but I have Jax and Jolie . Your puppy is beautiful and a great cajun name .
Can I PLEASE have him!! He is SOOOOOOO cute!! Thank you so much for sharing! What a doll!! I seriously could eat him up!!
adorable,adorable,adorable!!!!!!!!! !thats all i can say!!! I didn't know of this breed untill today!! 11 biscuits def!!!!
How's this for the cutest raspberry you've ever received? Gorgeous soulful eyes with who knows what kind of mischief behind them???
What a gorgeous pup! Looks like you will be needing a bigger doggy door soon, though :) May you have many wonderful years together.
Roux is great way to introduce this breed, which I had never heard of before.He is so cute and I love his green eyes! (I think he will not only outgrow that doggy door, but that bike basket soon!) :0)
Very handsome boy. You will not only need a bigger doggie door--you'll need a bigger bicycle basket! But you'll get a great workout I guess.
Just testing the air with my tongue LOL He is so adorable - I love the mastiff breeds and have a Bullmastiff x myself. Your Roux is wonderful! Charming and adorable - and very photogenic. Many snuggles and kisses to him.
Not only will he need a bigger doggie door, but you'll be needing a MUCH bigger bike basket (perhaps a motorcycle sidecar)! Lots of scritches for everyone -- Roux, the Westie, and the cat.
Hah! Honey I'm home...what's for dinner? Great picture. What a cool dog. I would definitely have to stop to say hi if I saw him out.
In this picture you can see the wrinkles he will have in adulthood. He is GREAT! what a great breed! Love each other and the best of luck! What a treat, here on daily puppy... to see such a rare breed. Wow... Thank you for sharing. HUGS
I love his tongue sticking out in this picture. Also love the one where he's coming through the cat door.
This puppy is so adorable! i luv the way her toungue is sticking out... talk about cute! and her eyes are gorgeous! she is definantly the cutest pup i've ever seen!
Big, gentle dogs steal my heart, and Roux looks like he'll fill that role to perfection! There's nothing about him that isn't handsome, but those eyes...oh, MY! May you have many happy years to love each other.
Looks like someone is about to be on the receiving end of a bite in the butt!!!! SURPRISE. I'll bet they're a funny pair and you get lots of laughs with all their antics. A long and happy life to all. Love those eyes!!!
Your life will never be the same, from one Dogue lover to another. He will make you laugh until you hurt, bring tears to your eyes because they are sweet, caring and obnoxious, but there yours. Enjoy the ride, my life is never dull with my 3 year old Dogue named Zeus. Just have plenty of drool rags!
What an awesome pup! I love this picture with his little tongue hanging out. Great color, hope you have many years with this wonderful loving breed!
I have never seen or heard about this breed before, but I think your dog is to die for! Many years of happy and healthy togetherness to all of your family, including Westie!
Oh he looks so forlorne in some of these pictures. Man, if he grows into his head he's going to be a HORSE!! I love his little tongue sticking out in this picture! Too cute!
I'm just wondering how long it will take before he gets stuck in the dog door. He is going to be a big handsome boy.
I love this pic. how funny. "I'm gonna get you down on the floor"....lol. He's a beautiful pup, 1 box of biscuits from SC.
Awesome dog! I didn't know this breed looked like this. He's a lovely-looking dog, I wouldn't have recognised what his breed was. Love the wrinkles and the ears! lots of biscuits from snoopygirl xx
It's as if Roux is about to say something to me...and his voice will obviously sound like Archie Bunker! What a soulful expression in those eyes! What a joy-
What an adorabobble pup! You can see an adult Dogue in action in the movie _Turner and Hooch_. And at the end, you see a little Dogue de B puppy
I can't wait to see a photo of him in that bicycle basket when he's grown to 160 lbs. Or maybe you'll be in the basket with him on the bike!!
What a little cutie pie--soon to be a big sweetheart! Enjoy your beautiful boy. What fun to see him playing with his little Westie buddy! Long, happy, healthy lives to you all. Tons of tummy rubs, hugs, kisses and fun in the years ahead! XOXOXO
You have some great pictures of this puppy but this one is a real gem. He looks like he will garner a lot of attention in his life. He is quite a stunning looking puppy with a very gentle face. Best wishes for many happy years together! ~Morgan's fan
That the most adoriblest lil dog... My dog that I have will grow up to be 160 or more to.... I have a Great Dane
You are sooo lucky!! I just OD'd on cute!! He is so precious I just want to hug him. Love the name, too. Many happy years with baby Roux.
Look at those eyebrows! Roux has such an amazingly expressive face! His eyes look almost human in their range of expression. He sure is cute! I love his nose. I hope you'll post pics of him when he's full-grown!
Not sure you'll get through that little doggie door when you reach 160 lbs. Maybe they will come up with a bigger one. You are very cute now and seem to be sweet. Glad you have a Westie friend to play with. Lots of biscuits to help you grow...
Tooooooooo cuuuuuuuute!!!!! I am in love with Roux- he looks so sweet!!!! Tons and heaps of treats, kisses, and belly rubs!!!!!!
This picture is so cute - I love his tongue! I've never heard of this breed but he sounds GREAT!!!!!
what a cutie!! I am sure that roux no longer fits through this door!!!! I love this breed. Gorgeous boy.
oh this is so cute. He is adorable. Submit this one to an animal photo contest and it's sure to win. He looks like a winner!
Move over boardwalk, here comes Roux! Every time "Turner & Hooch" is on I must watch it...... now I realize why. Happy Lives.
I bet this look gets Roux anything he wants. In addition to his innocent look, I love the heart-shaped nose, the tongue sticking out, and the position of his front legs. Enjoy your Dogue!
The perfect puppy!!! If I don't get to share this life with one of this breed, I am coming back again!
So cute!!!!!! A lot of kisses from Spain
