Place of rest must be adjusted to its size and comfortable, but do not mistake them allow access to sofas and armchairs. Especially if you want to use them and will from time to time. It is difficult to create image positioning and lower in the hierarchy of authority if he will be allowed to occupy the places you use yourself. Leader always occupied the highest position, most visible, most comfortable. Dog knows that. So place is at your feet. In place of the house where normally spend time (on the couch beside watching television, reading newspapers next chair that near the deck chair on which rest on the terrace etc.) Can place mats "dedicated" brave French. I used to sit there when you sit around, do not change position often, keep in the material or furniture to cover. Those are his siesta and waiting areas and over time will get used to them.

Caring your friend will not ask for too long. A Dogue de Bordeaux is demanding and requires meticulous care with strong periodicity. The first step is framing vaccinations and deworming program. This program must be strictly followed, as directed by the veterinarians office. Dogue de Bordeaux breed does not shed too much. When changing seasons is recorded sequences more consistent, but generally a brush with the glove in 3-4 days is enough.
At each session massage gently brushing the dogs body and see what areas of the body prefers to be protected. Usually dogs do not like to be touched on paws, belly and tail area. Touch with care and these areas when brushing held a meeting, so that we get used to the idea that you are in control and dominance in physical contact.

2-3 times a week pay special attention to the face. Specifically, the folds of skin on the face.
Dog de ??Bordeaux has a "tortured to" excess skin show and grouped into prominent folds. They must be carefully cleaned using disinfectant solutions recommended by a veterinarian and floppy cotton cosmetic (cleansing those used by ladies are very good). In the folds of skin accumulates dirt that can trigger irritation and infection also can set various external parasites, extremely dangerous. Check the eyes of these cosmetic treatments, for consistent eyelids, fleshy, of a Dogue de Bordeaux may be affected by entropion and ectropion. Usually these giants seem slightly bloodshot eyes, but it must be just an impression, check lest it be a sign of real trouble.
Especially in areas too hot or sunny days when the program is outdoors, Dog de ??Bordeaux will salivate excessively. Conformation and "design" lips predispose him to this (issue applies to any dog ??mastiff family) so it is good to always have pads or paper towels to remove it.

Based on this, his reaction to excessive heat (and poorly ventilated enclosed areas, direct sunlight on hot days) is prompt and can be life-threatening. Never leave a dog in this race locked in the car, even if only for a few minutes. If you travel with him to town one day in hot programmed breaks in shady and cool and make sure you have a supply of fresh water with you. Similarly, in the courtyard where you happen to let him free, hes a playground with shade and a generous bowl with fresh water. If you happen to make heatstroke (presenting symptoms as dizziness, loss of balance, unconsciousness, tremors doubled spasmodic breathing) act immediately, without wasting a second! Will be very useful ice cubes (boxed in a plastic bag and placed it between her hind legs) and the ability to use a hose supplied with cold water (using a jet of low intensity, cool chest, neck and dogs head). In the U.S. and even France are recorded annually worrying many deaths of dogs breed Dogue de Bordeaux caused by heatstroke.
