| ABOUT US Frog Pond Bordeauxs is a small family farm in Amherst, NH. We are involved with horse rescue as well. We are not a kennel, but a hobby breeder that strives to produce some of the most beautiful and even tempered dogues. Temperament is by far one of the most important attributes in a dogue combined with proper structure. We only produce one or two litters a year, but each of our girls is only bred once a year. We believe in quality, not quantity. We strongly feel that our dogues are our babies....an extension of our family. Our dogues remain with us until the day they cross the rainbow bridge. This is the reason why we only have a few dogues. They are well socialized and are among other dogs, cats, horses, and farm birds. Our puppies go home at no earlier than 8 weeks of age after first shots and all wormings. Our Bordeauxs are not kept in a kennel. They are raised in our home and have the run of the house so they are played with by young children. All in home obedience training involves our children so the dogues not only listen to the adults in the home, but the children as well. We feel it makes a better dogue as well as a well mannered dogue. The puppies we keep are well socialized dogues and they attend K-9 classes as well as doggie daycare until they are 9 months when daycare won't allow an unaltered dog. We then continue socialization skills at puppy parks, the beach, training classes, and pet stores. Our dogues do not leave the premises (except for vet visits) until they are fully vaccinated against K-9 disease. I will have Dogues for as long as I am able to spend my time on Earth. I could never picture my life without my pets. It's a passion that burns deep within my heart. Every time I sell a puppy to his/her new owner, it breaks off a piece of my heart, until I get the phone call, email or snail mail of family pictures from my pup's new home. Then the smiles on the faces of the people make everything worth while, and puts the happy back into my heart. |
| OUR STORY We were formally Sugar Grove Farms but have since cut down almost all of our maple trees to make pastures for our horses, so calling it Sugar Grove doesn't seem to make sense anymore. We do, however, have a frog pond and we figured a play on words "French Mastiff"...french also nicknamed "frogs", our last name (LaCombe) is french, plus the ever croaking frog pond on the property...it just made sense. So If you were looking for Sugar Grove, look no further, you found us. Frog Ponds Kiss of an Angel 5 months old and dressed in my daughter's clothes. She is out of Katie Lynn and Tanakajd Szepe's Morris. In this picture, Angel is going thru an awkward growth stage... something you will see throughout their first year and possibly their second. She is a very beautiful dogue and I am proud to have had the opportunity more than once to breed to such a nice, well mannered male, Tanakajd Szepe Morris, pictured below. When I arrived at Margaret Lamper's home, I was absolutely amazed to see 2 full size intact males living so peacefully with one another, especially when I brought my female, Katie, in heat, ready to breed. There was no fighting, no bickering. His excellent temperament was one of the main reasons I chose him. Margaret has 7 adult Bordeauxs living peacefully with each other in her home. Most are spayed/neutered, with a few exceptions. The pictures below are Moose, Angel's full brother. He is about 11 weeks in the first pic and 6 months old in the 2nd picture. He is owned by Douglas Bordeauxs in Cheshire, MA. He is out of Tanakajd Szepe Morris and Sugar Grove Farms Kiss Me Kate. |
