This is Martha. She is only six months old and of the breed Dogue de Bordeaux. She is with us during the weekend since her owners are on a trip down South. Martha's owner told us to keep a good eye our own two dogs because Martha is so "sensitive and scared". That turned out to be a grave misinterpretation of this young bitch. Martha is reserved with strangers, yes, and she growls a bit and checks you out before she approaches, but this does not originate from insecurity, she is only a very protective and family-oriented dog. After a long walk everybody together, we came home to our house and what did this "sensitive and scared" dog do? She went straight and played with our dogs bones and not even Goshen would confidently take them away from her. Barak even looked a bit intimidated. When we distributed dried pig ears, I gave Goshen first, upon which Martha went straight up and snatched it from right out of her mouth. She lays where she pleases and takes her space. Barak cannot move her around as he does with Goshen. After a few hours we were both completely in love with her. I have met this breed before and it is absolutely one of my favourite breeds, but for Yoram it was the first time and he fell defenceless...
