I would love to read - and own - those books; they seem difficult to come by. I have read some of what Raymond Triquet has done in the mastiff world, so am very interested to read these volumes...

Thanks for posting about this work.

I've had this book forever and remember how long it took to reach my doorstep....or apartment managers office back then. I sure wish more official, original and mostly LEGITIMATE literature was available for other breeds.

Are there 2 volumes, now (that was my impression.) Or, maybe an updated version of the original.

In any regard, did you purchase yours from the UK?

 

[Caleb]

Yes. I lived in California at the time. I think it was like 6 months before it arrived. I can't remember where I ordered it through but it's still on the shelf somewhere. It's got good information about dogs no matter what breed.

Never heard of it. Clearly I need to consult Dr. Google...

It was put out by Ramond Trinquet(spelling), the guy that founded the breed. Mine is a very nice hardback with tons of reading. It's a good read, and very specific to the Dogue. I'm gonna go look and see what's on Amazon out of curiousity.

I believe you'll find the breed was standardized by Megnin and then Kunstler . making them the "founders" of the breed .... Triquet bought some pups from two of the few , if not only , kennels left in france and started a kennel , I believe des Arbres ? he did lead in keeping the breed going with it's original roots ..... he is a really educated ,intelligent , common sense guy . he did a great job for the breed . better than most . when he rewrote the standard he was not intent on changing the breed to what he thought it should be, as most seem to want to make their breeds "better" , his intention was to preserve the dogue as it was ......... you can look at century old pics of a dogues like sultane , caporal , beaute , cesar......... and see the modern ddb ...... dogue pedigrees are as well kept , and as old as any dog pedigrees I've ever seen , some going back 120yrs ....... you could most likely get the book directly from Bas , I believe this is an up to date website , they take paypal , and there is a phone number ............
