I have just brought home my new dogue de bordeaux puppy. She seems to be fine, a lttle nervous but only what you would expect..she doesn't want to eat. She just sniffs at her food! She is being fed exactly what she was eating at the breeders but just doesn't want to know. Her breeder told us she was a bit of a greedy guts.....any ideas.

Give her time! It's normal for a puppy who's just had the upheaval of being removed from everything it's ever known to go off its food for a few days. Keep offering the usual food at intervals, and don't be tempted to offer anything else - that's a very quick route to bad tummy upsets.
Your new furbaby is getting used to her new home, & will soon be eating well enough. :)
If you want to encourage her to take a bite, then try adding 1tsp of plain non-fat yogurt to her meal, it won't harm, & its plus side is that it helps with smelly gas. :)
Good luck with your new puppy. :)
We had exectly the same problem with our puppy when we first got her. I put a little tuna in her meals to temp her and she was only eating 1 meal out of the three. I ended up getting in a viscous circle with her as she'd onlly eat it when there was tuna in her kibble. I now feed her a bit of naure diet and JWB as shes not overly keen on dried food on its own. I wouldnt change her diet yet, she needs to get used to her surroudings first. How exciting for you!! Good luck x
