We are a small group of passionate
breeders and Dogue enthusiasts that have developed a network of like minded people throughout
Australia to help with the rescue and rehome of the Dogue de Bordeaux.
I (Jo) got my first Dogue in 2003, which was a rehome with health issues. Through her I met a lot of great breeders, willing to help with advice & subsequently formed some very good friendships. This is what prompted me to start rescuing other Dogues in need, finding them forever homes & developing an excellent network throughout Australia.
I am the rescue coordinator for the breed in Australia. I also have rescued other breeds, including Rottweilers, Bull Terriers, and even a Bull Arab!
Responsible breeding is important. Through rescue, I have seen much heartache, being the result of poor breeding decisions & practices. Dogs that need to be put down before they are 2 yrs old, others dropping dead from underlying heart conditions, mange that needs expensive ongoing treatment & other crippling hereditary conditions – all easily preventable through ethical breeding. Fortunately, the majority of rescues we've had through, have had no significant health issues, although we had have to make some heartbreaking decisions on a couple, whose quality of life was just too poor and painful for them.
We are here to help preserve the future of this breed. We are happy for people to contact us for a chat, advice, or re: rescues/rehomes.
