I met this gorgeous Dogue de Bordeaux some time ago at a dog show and new straight away that I would paint his portrait which I have finally managed to do.  Actually, I ainted him a while ago now, but I’m still playing catch up with my blog!  The Dogue de Bordeaux is still a rare breed, but most people will remember Tom Hanks’ co-star in the 1989 comedy “Turner & Hooch” and camera chomping dog in the Olympus Digital Camera advertising campaign.

Dogue de Bordeaux are believed to have originated in France over 600 years ago and are also known as the French Mastiff, Bordeaux dog, Bulldogue Francais, or simply DDB.  They were originally bred to hunt, guard and fight and these imposing, fearless dogs were popular protectors of the noble and wealthy.  Today, Dogue de Bordeaux are prized family companions for their loyal, devoted, playful and affectionate nature and sweet, balanced temperament and courage as a guard dog.

More information about this lovely breed can be obtained from the newly formed Dogue de Bordeaux Club of Australia.

I know it only takes a couple of minutes to add a blog post, but my life has been such a rollercoaster of one crisis after another this years and the last few months have just been torturous, I havn’t even had the chance to post the blog posts that I have as drafts waiting to post!  Fingers crossed that life for my family will remain on an even keel and we can start to have some sort of normal life (or at least as normal as things can be given our situation!).

Anyway, enough of that, I have some photos orders going out this week, and for those people waiting to book portrait sessions, I will be getting through the rest of my emails this week hopefully, and once I catch up with everything, I will be able to book sessions that have been delayed.  I will also be adding posts that I have sitting in my drafts folder, so my apologies to those readers who receive notification when the blog is updated, if I don’t get interrupted this evening a few more older posts are going to appear…theres a sneak peak of my digital paintings which might be of interest to anyone who has been waiting for me to start doing pet portrait commissions again:)
