I wouldn't worry too much about people not recognizing him with the Bordeaux as shown in AKC conformation! I think he looks like a good, stout WORKING type
How is he bred if you don't mind me asking?
Amen to that! Moose, those dogs are so crippled it's sad. My Bordeaux is not "typey" either but I wouldn't trade him for another. He has drive, energy, and can breathe some. Through conditioning and a few prayers he passed his 12 mile endurance test run but that is no longer typical for the breed. Pinched nostrils, cow hocks, a low slung chest, overdone head and stop, no muzzle, soft palate, HD, entropian, toeing out, short hips... Fearful attitude. People are turning them into oversized English Bulldogs with a weak mind.
I wonder what poor CH Beefsteak could do?
Remember, Bordeaux' didn't have a pugged nose till the last 50 years or so. A SLIGHT underbite or reverse scissor, but not a pugged nose.
This is León...
That is my boy. Too rangy, not heavy enough (27" and 123lbs), muzzle too long, head too small, not enough loose skin, ect. Actually I wish he had more muzzle, not less. At least he can function. I hope for your dog's sake he continues to be as beautiful and HEALTHY looking as he ages. Right now he looks perfect. Literally. He is perfection for a pup. Very nice.
