NEW PIC's Added My 1 year old dogue (pics)

Here are a few pics of my now 1 year old DDB bitch - Juno. She was 47kgs (104lbs) on 6/6/09 not sure of height, but at least 25 inchs.

Andreas, Thanks for your complements on Juno. She is developing into nice athletic dogue. Also cheers for the info on Caporal.

Thanks for your comments and kind words guys. I was away from MD for a while so your post's have got me back checking up on what has been going on. I will get some new photos taken at her level posted soon. I must admit I'm very pleased with her after what I saw recently in the show ring. While at the show (without Juno) I got speaking with allot of DDB breeders and exhibitors. Two commented negatively on photos I had of her on my camera, passing remark about her head and muzzle not being ''True to Type''. I was a little pissed with what they were saying but held back on insulting them with what I thought about their dogues. I should have asked them why they didn't show English or French Bulldogs or even Pugs instead of DDB's if they looking for short blunt muzzled low to ground barrel shaped animals. I wonder have they ever seen images of Sans Peur, Caporal, Buffalo or Sultane to name a few ?

Was unable to add images to the Gallery. Some up to date photos of Juno taken today by the stream.

verry cool well proportioned doge

@ Andreas, It seems like a case of ‘Same Sh1t, Different Country’ After my visit to the show a few weeks ago nothing these exhibitors say surprises me. I guess I’m lucky I do not enter Juno into the beauty pageants. Like you said idiots who are ignorant to history. Sure she will never win in the ring when judged against today’s standard but these guys should acknowledge history and the fact that there is still various type of dogue being born in litters which reflect the dogues ancestry. While out last night chasing rabbits (which she never catches) Juno caught the scent of a fox who was probably out hunting rabbits it self. She worked her way back to where the fox was and worked him out by digging and climbing around the fallen tree he was under. The fox bolted and she gave chase, sprinting through 1 field cleared a 1 metre high barbedwire fence and into another field, a distance of about 150 metres (160 yards) covered in seconds. The fox eventually went to ground in a thick briar ditch. Juno paced up and down the ditch but was too big to get into the deeper part of the ditch where the fox was hiding. It was good to see her use her nose and find the fox then to watch her turn of pace as she took off after it, she was very determined and was not going to give up. I wonder if their dogues would be athletic enough or even interested enough to keep up after any type of prey? I know she is not the most Typey Dogue out there but she is special to me and my family, we love her and at the end of the day that’s all that matters. Danny

Cheers guys, She is coming on very well. Her chest is bigger now and she is becoming more defined around the rear. Danny

Awesome looking dog...I personally prefer the longer nosed athletic look....IMO many of the show Dogues are too heavy and short muzzled to be able to do the original work they were intended..... .
