emmalou

hello i just brought home,well 5 days ago a beautiful doux de bordeaux puppy.
i have had me ups and downs with the little begger, but hopefully i am getting his training sorted and bonding with him ok.
wondered if any members had a doux de bordeaux.
i know they are very big dogs when fully grown, but i have been told they are calm loyal dogs.
my partner is used to large dogs as his previous one was a mastiff.
training pup via pebbles in an empty milk cartoon, shaking them at him and saying no, when he does something he really shouldnt,and its seems to be working.
any more tips or suggestions?
cheers
