Dogue De Bourdeaux donates his coat
This handsome Dogue De Bourdeaux didn’t feel too happy wearing the dog coat his owners bought for him. He’s such a big lad the only coat that would fit was a pony sized Weatherbeata. I’m not wearing that! he told them so after failing to persuade him he looked good in it, they gave in and gave it to us for our mini ponies to wear instead.
It’s just the right size for them – this giant dog is the same size or even bigger than some of them. Thanks fella for giving us the dog coat. And to his thoughtful owners for their kind donation too. Here’s what they told us about their dog and this unusual breed:
I hope the pony (ponies) make good use of the weatherbetta coat we brought to you as a donation today. I have attached an image of our rescue Dogue De Bourdeaux…which we obtained early this year from Dogue De Bourdeaux Rescue. He is a fantastic dog that has bonded very well in our household. They are a protective breed towards the family, very obedient and sensitive. The breed have a sensitive digestive system and most require hypoallergenic food (wainwrights). They are moody dogs, sometimes they will eat their breakfast in the morning other times they wont touch til dinner,but thats what they are like. However its dried food and will last.
