Breeder Education Committee: DDBSA's Breeder Education Committee follows the lead of the American Kennel Club's program by challenging our Members to "Breed with H.E.A.R.T." Like our Parent club (AKC), our program will focus on: Health, Education, Accountability, Responsibility, and Tradition.
We work collaboratively with our Health Committee to assist breeders with ongoing and ever-evolving health concerns in the breed; the Judge's Education Committee, to maintain a consistent educational platform based on our Standard; and our Rescue Oversight Committee, to encourage breeders to donate time and other resources for saving and re-homing those dogues in need.
Judges Education Committee: The DDBSA Judges' Education Committee works diligently to educate AKC judges on the Dogue de Bordeaux breed standard. Seminars are conducted to give judges both, practical and theoretical knowledge of the Dogue de Bordeaux breed standard with the hope and intent that this knowledge will be applied in the show ring; therefore, promoting correct breed type, temperament and conformation.
Kennel clubs, Dog Judges Associations, Show Clusters, Study Groups and any other organization that is interested in learning about our magnificant breed and would like to host a Dogue de Bordeaux Seminar/Workshop are welcome and encouraged to contact us.
Rescue Oversight Committee: This committee oversees the day-to-day operations of our Dogue de Bordeaux Society of America Rescue and has direct administrative and operational oversight of the DDBSA Rescue operation.
