Filas are very large athletic dogs which, as part of their unique temperament, want nothing more than to protect and guard their family.
The Fila Brasileiro is the finest loyal and loving family guard dog. Filas are excellent with THEIR children, very tolerant and loving.
Fila dogs were raised in Brazil to hunt jaguar and wild boar.
Filas have been used in this country to hunt bear and wild boar. With no special training, filas are surprisingly naturally successful.
The fila was also bred to track slaves in Brazil. Agencies in this country are finding this keen sense of smell and amazing intelligence useful in drug detection and Search and Rescue work.
The fila dog has a very special temperament. The Portugese word is "ojeriza". The best translation of "ojeriza" is "A very strong dislike and distrust of strangers." The Fila will tolerate a friendly stranger only because of his desire to please his master. A quick move by the stranger can result in a swift move by the fila to intercede and protect. The Brazilian fila does not have to be trained to achieve this degree of protection. It comes packaged naturally in a 90 to 170 pound playful bundle of love wrapped loosely in a brindle, fawn or black coat.
The fila was also bred to herd cattle and protect them from wild animals and other predators. The filas will work together as a team. This has been observed around homes where the fila, working in groups of three will leave one behind as a guard while the other two may even go seperate directions to investigate.
The Fila Brasileiro, "The Security System that loves you" can judge the situation and immediately respond appropriately.
