I call it "The Ultimate Dog" because it does just about everything hunting,herding,protecting. I've studied it for around 3-4 years I know most about it...even know a little of it's confirmation....well just the head confirmation really. :haha: Please if you have some stories to share or info about your filas post away!I'm alll ears!!

Smith said:Most German Shepards have to be trained to protect. A fila needs no training to protect I know much about this breed it is just the way they are protective and aggressive. They are gentle wth there family but WILL attack a stranger given the right circumstances. I love the Fila Brasileiro breed I have studied it for many years now and have found an excellent breeder of filas. Not all filas are filas some are mixed with Great Dane,Mastiff,Neopolitan mastiff,ect,ect. Filas are only for people who understand them,understand there temperament and know how to handle them. Everybody has said the same stories over and over again about how great protection dogs they are. A fila would NEVER challenge there owner or look at them funny....not safe around strange people or strange animals COMPLETELY safe and loveable with the family and will love your pets to!Get a fila if you want a REAL guard dog and faithful companion that will never let ya down but do a lot of research first before ya get one!

"Faithful As A Fila".
Yep, you're right, same troll, same drivel. Hopefully Smith, FilaBrazill2004 and the sister (or Smith, or Ron?) posting as Unregistered will get the message.Unregistered said:Smith & FilaBrazil2004 are the same troll.
Note the play on words with her topic and alias name. The jig is up.
For those of you that are interested, as of this evening, 5/29/2004 the last three threads started by Smith are the only ones she hasn't yet deleted her messages from.Fla Gal said:Btw folks,
If you go to one of Smith's posts and click on "Profile" you'll find that she starts threads asking for advise and then tells us how bad our advise is and how we are such terrible people then she deletes every message she's posted.
I haven't check this evening but this morning only the last three threads she's started haven't been edited to delete all her posts.

Cygnet said:For what it's worth, there was a case were a small woman was walking a very large, very aggressive dog in -- iirc -- CA and the dog got loose and attacked another woman and killed her in front of her apartment. The dog was a Fila. The owner was convicted of manslaughter because the dog was known to be aggressive and the owner had encouraged this trait -- and she was not, physically, able to stop the dog when the dog attacked.
Any well-socialized dog will protect his or her owner in the right circumstances. My grandparents had a champion Golden Retriever stud who badly bit a burglar, and Goldens are not generally considered a protective breed. The burglar's parents attempted to sue my grandparents, incidently for harboring an "aggressive" dog -- the burglar was a teenager. (The golden stud was a champion or grand champion, I forget, did obediance and agility, and was a working gun dog. And I used to ride him like a horsey when I was a toddler. Not a problem dog at all, very highly trained, and very sane.)
I have little use for dogs with excessive aggression inbred into them. There's no need for it, there's a high probability of the dog hurting someone, owning an aggressive dog is a legal liability, and you can accomplish the same goal -- personal protection -- with a sane, sensible pet that has the native intelligence to know the difference between a neighbor and a burglar.

...Smith said:From what you have said it was the lady's fualt. If she knew she had an aggressive dog ESPECIALLY a Fila she should have had a muzzle on the dog or she should have done a lot more research on the dog before she even got one. :no: Filas are for only very experienced people Filas are NOT for everyone. I have down my homework on this breed and know everything about it. I have seen pics,videos I have read a lot the Fila is the right breed for me...but not for everyone. We have owned many protection dogs we've had Sheps,Dobies,Rotties none of them have ever shown any protection. For a while I was thinking about getting a Shep or Rottie but then I found the Fila and absolutely fell in love. I don't know why people are so against guard dogs...well I guess they got there reasons. A sad thing for me to see is so many Fila breeders are mixing filas with mastiffs and everything else destroying the way they look and there temperament. Sometimes it's even hard for me to tell a pure fila from a mixed fila. :no: I understand the risks envolved with owning a fila. We will get one when we have the money. Gerson want's $1200 for his filas but at least I'm assured I'm buying a quality fila with correct confirmation and temperament and from the old Fila Brasileiro bloodlines. Filas are guard dogs by nature it is just the way they are.
...Smith said:Remember my first post I was interested in if anybody had a fila and if they could share there stories with me. I'm not being a troll I was just interested if anybody else had a fila and if they had a story to tell about there filas. You know like "Our Fila cought a deer when we where hunting" Stories that's all. I know mostly anybody that has a Fila has a story to tell about something they did. I don't feed my horse dog food lol he is fed sweet stuff and Strategy. We don't have $1200 now but when we get it I'll have a faithful companion,guard dog,and hunting dog at my side.
