| The Fila Brasileiro is a wonderful breed developed in Brazil, the loyalty of these dogs to their owners is impossible to describe. Fila means “to hold” in Portuguese.
Filas are great family dogs, amazingly gentle and loving with the family unit. However, they do not like strangers, because of this last characteristic, a Fila is not a dog for everyone. Their main function is that of a guard & personal protection dog. They have very strong protective instincts, therefore need no training in order to perform the job for which they were created. They are known for never challenging family members. These dogs are extremely caring & submissive with their immediate family only! They do not accept strangers. We fell in love with Filas several years ago when we got our first puppy. Presently we own 2 filas, 1 black & 1 fawn (the color black is the rarest in this breed). We are so proud of them and want to share our experiences with all dog owners in the world. “Loyal as a Fila” is a saying in Brazil. We can give testimony that their love is perhaps, one of the most authentic, unlimited and unconditional that a human being can receive. Nick and Mireya Denigris Houndmaster Kennels Chicago, IL |
