Ask The Dog Guide: How To Pronounce Dogue De Bordeaux

Question : How do you pronounce Dogue De Bordeaux?

Answer: Since I own one of these amazing molossers, I am used to repeating this breeds name all the time! When you pronounce “Dogue” it should rhyme with the word “vogue”. Bordeaux is said like “boor-dough”.
