HISTORY
The DDB
is originated in the Aquitania Region
which is between Burdeos and Southern
France which goes from Tarbes to Tolosa.
The name “Dogo de Burdeos”
appeared in 1880. However, some stories
talk about these dogs at the time
of Marco Polo.
In 1914 a breed standard was written.
In 1926 a new standard was revealed.
The Parisian Club and the Bordales
Club accepted the red and black mask.
This standard was valid to 1970.
In 1970, Raymond Triquet (SADB President)
wrote the standard which was accepted
by the SCC and the FCI.
