Dogue de Bordeaux puppies and dogs in Idaho

This gorgeous giant girl is Big Momma! This sweetheart is a lover to her core, she adores people, she’s wonderful with children and other dogs. Patient, considerate, tolerant, mellow, she’s a dream dog. The term “gentle giant” was invented for girls like Momma, she brings a truly magical sense of calm to every room she sets paw in. She’s a rescue favorite, beloved the moment we laid eyes on her. We suspect Big Momma to be a Dogue de Bordeaux, American Bully mix, around 6 years old. She is a rescue so her exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. She weighs in at a whopping 111 pounds, but she’s so kindly mindful of her size. She doesn’t knock over kids or plow through our legs- she’s just a lovely, big, sweet companion to all. Big Momma is great in her kennel, completely non-reactive, finding peace in her solitude. She can usually be found lying down in her kennel, but will stand up, approach you, and patiently wait for the leash once she realizes you’re getting her out of the kennel. Here at the rescue, Big Momma doesn’t have any indoor accidents, we believe her to be fully potty trained. At the vet, Big Momma is incredibly patient and tolerant, she holds still and appreciates her post-check-up treats. She loves her outside time too, whether it’s basking in the sun or tromping through a puddle, Big Momma is just happy to breathe the fresh air. She would make an excellent hiking, or camping buddy. Big Momma does have a complicated relationship with Mother Nature though- she has a pretty extreme fear of thunder. She doesn’t want to move once she’s heard a roll of thunder over head; she shuts down, quietly trembling. She doesn’t try to escape, bark or pace, she’s really a good girl even when she’s in the worst of states. Momma is great with other dogs and she’s very friendly with them! She’s a bit of a dog-watcher when she plays in groups of dogs! Rather to be in the center of attention, lovely girl likes to sniff other pups by saying “Hello”walks around them or just watching them play! With humans, Big Momma isn’t overly interested in play, she doesn’t have a ton of interest in toys, but she’ll humor you occasionally and play a bit. She’s so gentle when she plays with us, with slow movements and so much care. We suspect that Big Momma will blossom in her forever home, and become more playful with people than she’s been here at the rescue. The play we’ve seen so far has been so calm that we’re confident she’ll always be a respectful player. With kids, Momma is excellent at reading their body language and adjusting accordingly. She seems to have a full grasp of her size and all of its implications, including the “scary factor” it can have for little ones. When kids don’t want to engage with her, she’s happy to leave them be. When kids are excited to meet her, she basks in the love. She’s incredibly sweet with them, she would make an amazing family dog. Big Momma does have cropped ears, which will deter some adopters, unfortunately. Cropped ears come with stigmas from all angles, but ultimately, the dogs are the ones who pay. Big Momma will need her ears cleaned with some regularity, but that is the only way in which her cropped ears will affect her life post-adoption. Here at the rescue, she is wonderfully still, calm and patient while we clean her ears. For more information on adopting dogs with cropped ears, search for #AdoptTheCropped on your preferred social media platform. Big Momma would do best in a feline-free home, but she’s not too picky about anything else! We believe she would do well in a single dog or multiple dog household, as a family dog or a companion to a single person. If you’re looking for a big dog, with a sweet, calm personality, tons of patience and tolerance, and a go-with-the-flow attitude, Momma is your girl. We are willing to test this sweet girl with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’s the perfect match for you. If you have any questions about her, please reach out to her adoption coordinator, who would be thrilled to have a discussion with you about this sweet angel girl. Meet Momma in person in Friendswood, Texas, or virtually via video chat to get to know her better. This beautiful girl has waited 6 years to meet her forever family, don’t make her wait any longer than she needs to- apply to adopt Momma today!
