i will telll you my post is not a recommendation for a ddb , i have them and will never have another kind of dog , temperamentally i've never had a dog like the ddb i've had , but physically i don't believe my dogues are the average , it took me a long time to physically get dogues like mine , they are linebred for 8 generations off a bitch and her mom that very few ddb breeders would find aesthetically pleasing and i seriously doubt most would consider breed worthy ...i've culled some beautiful dogues and had a lot of choices to pick from ........ dogues do come with elongated palates and tracheal obstructions .... if you choose a dogue make sure you see the parents when they're excited and hot , but i'm sure that'd be true of any mastiff breed ......... what i wrote may offend some ddb breeders , but i'd hope it would get them to strive for more than conformation . i've seen what are supposedly the best show ddb in the united states up close , the majority you couldn't pay me to breed to , i'd be afraid that i'd end up with dogues like them ........ as much as i've learned there can be a difference between a health certified dog and a healthy dog , there can be a difference between a champion dog and a good dog ....... good luck you seem to know what to look for
