I’m at it again. Trying to validate another page for the website. I’m not familar with css; the css you see is there from the help I’ve received from this forum (Thank You!). 3 of my other pages have passed validation with your help. I don’t understand the css codes yet, so I can’t figure out how to correct the errors here.

<b>Brief Historical Summary</b>
<br><br>
The Dogue de Bordeaux is one of the most ancient French breeds, probably a descendant of the Alans and, in particular, the alan vautre of which Gaston PHEBUS (or FEBUS), Count of Foix, said in the 14th century, in his Livre de Chasse that ” he holds his bite stronger than three sight-hounds “. The word ” dogue ” first appeared at the end of the 14th century. In the middle of the 19th century these ancient dogues were hardly renowned outside the region of Aquitaine. They were used for hunting large animals such as boar, for fighting (often codified), for the guarding of houses and cattle and in the service of butchers. In 1863 the first French dog show took place in Paris in the Jardin d’Acclimatation. The Dogues de Bordeaux were entered under their present name. There have been different types : the Toulouse type, the Paris type and the Bordeaux type, which is the origin of today’s dogue. The breed, which had suffered greatly during the two world wars, to the point of being threatened with extinction after the second world war, got off to a fresh start in the 60’s.

<li>1st standard (Caractère des vrais dogues) in Pierre MEGNIN, Le Dogue de Bordeaux, 1896.<br><br>
<li>2nd standard in J. KUNSTLER, Étude critique du Dogue de Bordeaux, 1910.<br><br>
<li>3rd standard by Raymond TRIQUET, with the collaboration of Vet. Dr. Maurice LUQUET, 1971.<br><br>
<li>4th standard reformulated according to Jerusalem model (F.C.I.) by Raymond TRIQUET, with the collaboration of Philippe SEROUIL, President of the French Dogue de Bordeaux Club and its Committee, 1993
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<b> General Appearance:</b>
<br><br>
Typical concave lined brachycephalic molossoid. The Dogue de Bordeaux is a very powerful dog, with a very muscular body yet retaining a harmonious general outline. He is built rather close to the ground, the distance sternum-ground being slightly less than the depth of the chest. Stocky, athletic, imposing, he has a very dissuasive aspect.
</p>
<p>
<b>Important Proportions:</b>
<br><br>
The length of the body, measured from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttock, is superior to the height at the withers, in the proportion of 11/10. The depth of the chest is more than half the height at the withers.<br><br>
The maximum length of the muzzle is equal to one third of the length of the head.<br><br>
The minimum length of the muzzle is equal to one quarter of the length of the head. In the male, the perimeter of the skull corresponds more or less to the height at the withers.

<p>
Proportions in the Dogue de Bordeaux<br><br>
<ul>
<li> A. Height at the withers = circumference of the head
<li> B. Circumference of the chest at the level of elbows = height at the withers +25 to 30 cm
<li> C. Length of the body (scapulo-ischial)
<li> D. Length of the head from occiput to nose leather= 3 x F
<li> E. Skull from occiput to stop = 2 x F
<li> F. Length of the muzzle (maximum D:3, minimum D:4)
<li> G. Width of the skull seen from the front = greater base of a trapezium
<li> H. Width at the end of the muzzle = smaller base of a trapezium
</ul>
