  • Voces falam tanto que o fila nao pode ser treinado e coisa e tal. Mas o que é isso no video???? alem de fazer um treinamento, fazem de forma erradissima, podendo por em risco o bom desempenho dos caes na guarda e proteçao. A falta de conhecimento e o despreparodos figurantes torna isso algo muitas vezes ruim pois causam uma "quebra" nos drives do cao.

    Conhecimento nunca é demais e o meio do fila esta precisando muito.

  • Please leave the Real Fila alone!! Don't try to change its temperature american people! All dogs aren't suppose to be lazy ass show dogs!!!!!! Dont buy an american fila unless its is raised for protection only!!!!!¡

  • asco y verguenza, panda de cabrones

  • I had a German Shepherd and I love the breed.But German Shepherds have been suffering from many genetic diseases for generations. I believe the Fila is healthier. By the way, my German Shepherd died from Myelopathy.

  • A Fila needs a realist owner. Sure, this dog is NOT suited for an urban type of area at all unless you know where to take your dog for exercise without people. But, in a more rural type of setting where you need to be protected but need an amazing family dog, this is an perfect dog to have.

    This dog is only a liability to ignorant owners who have no idea what they're doing. It doesn't mean they should be killed out; they still have a very useful purpose and are great dogs.

  • Comment removed

  • To all the people saying that this dog is a danger to others you just need to remember that it depends on how the dog was raised. I have a Fila and the only thing he is a threat to is anyone who happens to be covered in bacon. He is the biggest porch dog you'll ever meet and the only thing he doesn't like are dogs he hasn't met before like most other dogs. So before you go and start spewing hate on this great breed learn up on the breed from something other than a 2 min YouTube video.

  • @CerebralAssassin1000 you don't own a real Fila, sorry. There are no real Filas in America unless they are imported from Brazil. Just worthless mastiff mutts being sold as Filas to people like you for profit.

  • @ConiferTreez There are real Filas in the USA. Small in number but they do exist. And yes you are right when you say they are imports directly from Brazil. There is a small group of people here in America. That are selectivly breeding to preserve the old ancient Fila lines.

  • @erikj Small in number is an exaggeration

  • @ConiferTreez very true

  • Each dog breed is created with a purpose. There is no comparison between the German Shepherd and Brazilian Fila, both races are magnificent, but each has different characteristics and is best suited for different functions. Fila is not a pet, is an working dog. Period. If you live in a pacific american suburb, Fila is not the dog for you. But to say that there is no use in a violent dog is naivety. Having a Fila does'nt mean that the owner is especialy violent or fearful, just realistic.

  • When I was a kid in Brazil I remember my neighbour had a Fila and occasionally we would kick the football into their property and have to recover it, which was quite an adventure in itself. The Fila did look like a vicious dog but then I was a stranger jumping into his territory :).

  • My neighbour has one. I always shit myself when I visit him.

  • 1.40 the only thing that i hate is that when people want to show off the capabilities of a breed they direct against wild animals that to be honest are unrivaled

  • @Oruper German shepherds are popular dogs, but in no means the best guard dog

  • If we could have a dog like this, we are confident to live in a house guarded with brave dog. But I don't like the way they train their dog.. They should have been training them to be a good and friendly dog..

  • fala cinho!!! parabéns pelo video !!!!

  • im told these are lethal, with an over aggresive mind... true or false?

  • @blackbloodvomitorium

    False.A Fila from a good breeder is not over aggressive. They are large dogs that need space and the dogs with stronger temperament need an owner with experience that will be the leader. Most Filas are docile with the members of the family but usually they don´t like strangers.

  • @Freaza1972 well I think you will agree with me in saying... "nothing wrong with that then". I have a male german shepherd that is brillaint with the family and people in general, but is protective so watches any stranger with a close eye. He is a dominant dog, who isn't great with other male dogs as he wants to dominate them... that said he has never ever bitten another dog or caused any problems for me as he knows im his leader and he must obey me. Sounds similar to how you describe the fila?

  • @blackbloodvomitorium Yes. Most filas are like that. I never had one, but I´m from Brazil and I used to be around Fila owners. The way that you educate your dog has a lot of influence in the developement of its personality. A pitbull a fila or a doberman that is raised in an agressive enviroment with agressive dogs around, most likely will be agressive too.

  • There is an interaction between the breed characteristic, the dog personality and the enviroment/ education provided by the owner and family members.

  • @Oruper If you had witnessed a true Fila at work in person...you would definitely say the same. Filas can't even be compared to german shepherds. They are far more intense than GS... You cant trust all GS to destroy an attacker, but you can definitely trust all CAFIB Filas to do it.

  • That was the worse decoy work I've ever seen!

  • THAT'S WHY I REALY DON'T THINK OF GETTING A SAMPLE OF YOU MUTANT BEASTS. THEY ARE JUST ANYTHING.

  • @jeanibiuna Also.. Dr. Paulo Santos Cruz the "father" of the Fila. Created the standard with a community called CAFIB. So backyard breeders like you wont destroy the breed and contaminating blood-lines with strange influences like your garbage you promote. And another thing, Brasil there is no such thing as breeder-control. it is practically impossible to prevent these Fila-bastards from getting pedigree papers like all the other Filas.

  • Fila Brasileiro forever - forever Fila Brasileiro.

  • For some reason the United States is lacking in true CAFIB dogs, unfortunately some people have decided instead of producing true Filas they create a 200lb what I call Fila Americano, no temperment and big as a Mini Van. Thanks for posting this Video erikj, this breed is definately not for everyone and it is not a Dobie or Rottie or Shep and people who like those breeds tend to not like the Fila because they seem to prefer a dog they can mold into what they want rather then one that just is.

  • Beasts.

  • Uai,o CAFIB não fechou há uns vinte anos atrás?

  • The Fila is the best dog breed for man stoppers, not dog fighters etc

  • @erikj fila is very dangerous enemy for every dog....

  • ive traveled all over the world studying rare breeds and no I dont fight dogs yes its is cruel! everybody that has a dog of their own large fighting type breed thinks that thier dogs is the best so ill let yo think that my friend....

  • presa canario ftw

  • post perfeito

  • tough animal!

  • I bred filas!!! Very lovely dogs,loves his family over everything nevertheless

    I highly recommend bikes owners to put their helmet off before entering their property...

  • I'm not sure that "hatred of strangers" is a good thing in a dog at all. I've had Doberman Pinschers and German Shepherds who had a healthy "suspicion" of strangers but they wouldn't attack with no reason. Sounds to me like a Fila is a legal liability and a lawsuit on four legs looking for a place to happen.

  • I have one, and it's not as bad as you would think and would easily compare it to German shepherd like encounter. You going to show some respect when approaching the house. The one thing she won't do though is warm up to strangers that I have ok'ed. She will just retreat to the dog house and remain out of sight.

  • Why would you want a hardcore estate guardian/lethal big cat killer to have a "healthy suspicion of strangers" ahahahahahahaha.

    you fucking idiot, these dogs aren't "pets" like your shit german breeds. They are utility animals.

  • @ConiferTreez / You sound like a fucking moron with an IQ equal to plant life. Like a conifer tree perhaps? So you need a killer "utility dog"? Do you keep a hand grenade on the coffee table too? and claymore mines rigged to your front door? Paranoid asshole. The Germans have produced the best working breed dogs in the world. Like HamletsGhost said, a Fila is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.

  • @JackKangaroo1 You need to think about the context in which this race was created. We are talking about Brasil. If you live here and have a big property outside the city boundaries or a nice house in a violent distric, you dont want a dog that barks to a stranger and perhaps atack if treatened. You want a dog that will protect your family no matter what. Fila is not a pet with a function, its an utility dog. If you live on suburbs or condos, Fila is not the dog for you.

  • @ametista1313 Well I can't argue with that. I've seen very few Filas in the flesh but I know their reputation as a very serious guard dog and I can see the need for such a dog on a large remote property. I do live in the suburbs and my own dog is a big lovable Golden Retriever. He's got a big bark but I doubt he would ever hurt anyone. There are other breeds with similar mindset to the Fila. The Kuvasz and Komondor come to mind; also the Russian Ovcharka breeds and Turkish Kangal.

  • @HAMLETSGHOST100 I agree 100%. There is no need for a dog to have the ojeriza gene. You don't want a dog that will kill strangers for nothing. There are plenty of good guard dogs without the Ojeriza gene anyway.

  • @HAMLETSGHOST100 good guard dog is when you can let ANYONE in and when you can tell your dog to take down ANYONE you want; guarding means ALERTING the owner, not eating the postman :) Good thing ppl share same feelings about it.

  • @HAMLETSGHOST100 I own a Fila and that is not the case if you socialize them and get them use to people. They won't like the people or show affection but a socialized Fila won't be a lunging maniac per say. But you can not have strangers walking in and out of your house that is for sure.

  • brave dog ! i'd love to buy one....

  • They can be dangerous towards anyone they dont see as part of there family, you gotta lockem away if you got friends over. Tho if your a loner who dont have any friends theyd be the perfect dog lol

  • cada dia que passa tomo mais raiva da CAFIB

    povo idiota. Prefiro CBKC, sem +

  • Fila Brasileiro, tão valente quanto o povo brasileiro, NÃO aos americanos e canadenses, o Fila é nosso e o seu temperamento é impar a qualuqer raça de cão de guarda, vão se fuder gringos, pulem o nosso quintal e verão a FERA que os esperam.

  • maltratador animal hijo de perra !! matate tu puto maricon de la lame pico

  • Hola!

    Yo pensaba que este perro guardian es algo especial,pero veo que no es diferente mucho de otrpos perros.

  • en efecto la raza es muy especial los tontos son los que intentan entrenar a un guardian natural se ve que no conocen a la raza

  • Quanta merda falam sobre o nosso Fila Brasileiro, e o pior, a maioria em inglês. O que esse monte de gringo filhos de uma puta tem de opinar sobre nosso Fila. Ainda dá pra notar um monte de filho da puta a favor da mestiçagem querendo alterar o temperamento da raça. Vão se fuder!!! A preservação desta raça deveria ser questão de Soberania Nacional e sua imagem em posição de ataque com dentes à mostra, um símbolo nacional, a exemplo da águia americana e o urso soviético.

  • eee...no entiendo lo de señor dame la libertad de ser inteligente...pq si supieras de que va el video no lo diriass...asiq para poner esos comentarios mejor ahórrateloos!

    Gracias!

  • estados unidesses filhos da puta o que esse em bisis querem faze com a nossa raça pq eles nao conserta o pit bull o cao salsicha o scooby doo toma no cu seus otario esse e o NOSSO fila e nao seus seus pau no cuuuuuuuu

  • Concordo com vc bro. Moro aqui a 20 anos e vejo de perto o que esta raca fez com os caes do mundo todo e gora querem fazer com o nosso fila. Canadense e Americano transformam todas as recas em cachorrinhos de mamae (bichas) sem espirito p/ nada. Sabe o que e pior? Eles vao conseguir fazer com o Fila tambem. Eu so compro caes da Europa e eles nao se metem com Americanos.

  • comcordo com o wyzpaulo em tudo!!!!!!

  • i like this kind of dog i want a rottweiler but in my actual home i cant have one but i definitly going to get one or maybe a fila as soon as i move

  • There's just something extreme (in a good way) about this particular breed! I love it! I'm definitely getting a fila some day!

  • I have a Cane Corso and hes gentle giant. Nothing like my Fila however-

  • @erikj which one is tougher?

  • @Roninfalls

    Im not sure what you mean by tougher. If u mean fighting dogs, Filas are not bred for fighting. Plus i dont support dog fighting, But Filas are the ultimate guard dog imo. They are rugged, they loath strangers, amazing hunting dogs, faithful, a proper CAFIB Fila will not have to be trained to guard. U have to have the right property to house these dogs. If they get out they will bite someone. They are not crazy in the head, but rather intelligent, but are fierce guard dogs.

  • @erikj No I was not referring to fighting. I actually own a 6yr old Cane Corso, that I have had since 8 weeks. I'm curious about the Fila in comparison to your Corso

  • @Roninfalls The Corso is heavier in weight and a very powerful dog. The Corso is very kind, gentle and all around great dog. My CAFIB FIla import from Brazil totally dominates my Corso. They get into some good fights with the Fila ruling the roost. The Fila will bond with its owner more than a Corso. CAFIB Filas are pure Machismo and they know it. They are fearless to the death but i wouldnt say the same with my Corso. The Corso is a baby Huey and great family dog. Fila is something totally else

  • @erikj Wow I had no idea, I don't know anyone in Vancouver, Canada that owns a Fila. They sound crazy. My Corso is very gentle too and never goes looking for a fight. That being said, if another dog tries to dominated him he'll put a stop to it real fast. My dog got into it a few times with a friends Central Asian Shepard, and an Akita. Both altercations were over very fast in favor of my Corso. I love the natural guard instinct in our breeds, it has helped me out a few times already

  • @Roninfalls O cão flia brasileiro é um cão rustico e praticamente livre de problemas de saude, ele é um cão de garda e não de rinha

  • que mania dece pessoal estrangeiro que quer ditar regras no nosso fila brasileiro querendo que ele tenha um temperamento ameno. o pior que tem canil que obedece. descaraterisando o verdadeiro fila brasileiro que é meigo com a familha e com as crianças e tem ogerisa a estranhos este é o verdadeiro fila brasileiro. fila manço pode ter aparencia de fila geito de fila mas não é fila ´´e outra raça nova se paçando por fila!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

  • I am planning on getting a fila but I have to say that my chihuahua has a fila temperment lol and I'm not joking.

  • I wouldn't mess with any chihuahua especially if they where as big as these dogs evrybody would be in trouble! Im glad they are little!

  • Amazing guard dogs but you are wrong the Cane Corso also has a natural hatred for strangers!

  • no, they don't

  • im a brazilian and these dogs are very very loyal!

  • Except wolves aren't manageable. A Brazilian Mastiff, on the other hand, is incredibly loyal to his 'pack', but also incredibly distrustful of strangers, which makes it a perfect guard dog.

  • perro do brasil

  • EXCELENT GUARD DOG!

  • o nick do cara huauhahuaa

  • imparcial, ne?

  • ill back this up, who the fuck rates a dog on is agressiveness anyways?

  • people who need agressive dogs for things like Armed forces

  • armed forces dont tend to need aggressive dogs, if that was the case surely theyd hand raise a wolf am i right? they want dogs who are capable of training to be vigilant, not mindless killing machines. thats what guns are for.

  • gotta give it to you that's very true

  • There is a difference between agression and prey drive.

  • well i have dogs too...and not all dogs and breeds need to be trained to be natural guardians...i have dogs and i raise them all the same,and there are dogs who are just bad ass or mean and don't need to be trained,but it all depends on the individual and i am sure there are good fila's too :))

  • as fare as a guardian they do!!Fila dont need training they have it natural

  • the brasilian armed forces won't take german shepards because they're weak compared to the fila.

  • to be fair the more renowed armed forces of the world like britain, usa, and all european nations use german shepards so i think they are plenty strong

  • Well, German Shepherds are more versatile dogs. They can be used in many ways, but in other ways, they lack what other dog breeds excel in. For example, German Shepherds don't have a very powerful bite. They're also not as aggressive as other dog breeds. Many organizations have been switching to other dog breeds for more specific roles, such as the Malinois and the American Pit Bull.

  • People have switched to pitbulls only because it gives them a new purpose they are no better in any way!

  • Fila que é Fila deve ter ojeriza! Quer um cão sem ojeriza a estranhos, adquira outra raça!

  • Careful. That dog will fuck u up!!!

  • Infelismente algumas pessoas consideram que essa raça tenha comportamento de extrema agressividade com estranhos.

    Isso é parar no tempo. A Sociedade não suporta mais agressividade. Multiplicala nessa fantástica raça é ajudar o seu declínio.

    Eu amo fila, mas como os meus que cuidam maravilhosamente bem de minha família e que mesmo assim se esta próximo de mim reconhecem que a maioria das pessoas não são ameaças e não geram agressividade gratuita com ninguém.

  • Meu fila é super medroso e sempre se dá bem com todo mundo. O problema está no dono que nem sempre cuida do animal como deveria.

  • i want these dogs to remain rare good thing they are so hard to find so some idiot dosent get it in my country and get it banned

  • I hear you, I got to see some in Peru and they were fantastic dogs, sadly they are banned in the UK so I will never be able to have one.

    Its a great shame as I live in really remote countryside and its a lovely place for dogs.

  • The Berlin wall was not guarded by dogs.Automated machine guns,soldiers with machine guns. no dogs

  • To publicly display a video like this without a disclaimer is more than irresponsible. Improper handling and inadequate padding is bad enough with a GSD or Rott, but with a Fila, it's absolutely criminal. Get some proper training yourselves, you redneck idiots, before 'working' these animals. You, or someone influenced by you, is going to get hurt BIG TIME by a dog whose predilections and capabilities are not fully understood and respected.

    This video is a travesty.

  • Love my Fila, loved my 2 German Shepherds, loved my 2 German Rotwielers too. All of the dogs mentioned in these comments are amazing creatures! But they've all been breed for a purpose! When selecting a dog, it's best to think about what it will actually be doing not what you'd like it to do. For myself, I wanted a dog that was just as happy hanging around the house as he is in the field hunting. Worked out that my Fila is very docile indoors, and more than agile on the trail. Ojeriza is no joke

  • With a nip like that I'd much rather take on a fila than a gsd which has full deep bites and nerves of steel.

  • german shepherds suck compared to Filas

  • oh right so that automatically makes them a lethal attack and guard dog...

  • Read what i posted earlier. Fila...are the only dog in the world with Ojeriza. Its a genetic physiological disposition. That has a sharp aversion or hatred towards strangers. They have superior nervous systems to the OC.

  • @erikj  Is not the only one ,man ,

    The Dogo Guatemalteco got the same attitude against the stranger ,ojeriza

  • @erikj What is an OC? You mean CC as in Cane Corso???

  • @BlueGama600 yea it was typo...i meant cc as cane corso...

  • @erikj Oh lol.

  • Fila Brasileiro. AKC judges don't touch when evaluating. Unlike the OC...

  • and OC fur can hold off european wolf teeth. Canadian wolves would tear straight into the flesh.

  • your missing one good guard dog. One which is used INTERNATIONALLY. German Shepherd Dog. I have the breed standard of the Fila in front of me and the weight maximum for the standard is 55 kg. The Tosa inu is 96 kg (200 lbs) Tosas are fighting dogs yes but they do make good guards as well...

  • Once in a dog show I got near a fila by mistake and almost stepped on him and didn't mind and just let me off without a bite. With a CO you couldn't do that they will bite your head off. I think the best flock guardian, state protector is the CO without a doubt. By the by that fila was really beautiful and almost got into a fight with a tosa ken in the ring.

  • As much as i love filas. they are not as powerful as COs. the CO is the only dog that can kill a wolf and there is a video on youtube about that. the caucasian mountains are one the most inhospitable places that you can find in the world and the COs are found there. COs are as though as nails and they don't eat so often. The co is a fighting dog and will fight until the threat is dead or him. And they have a thick fur that is almost impenetrable for the teeth of other dogs or wolves.

  • pitbulls & tosas are SHIT guard dogs. Kangals are inbred & overrated.

    FILAS are THE BEST guard dogs on the planet, besides a CO.

  • I have never known a more aggressive, dangerous breed in my life. Before the UK banned them, you had to have a court filing to own one. If they're aggressive in the show ring, it counts as part of the breed standard. This is NOT the case with Rottweilers/GSDs/Cane Corsos/etc.

    But there definitely is a difference between a good guard dog and an aggressive beast who won't let anyone near you. Intelligence, drive, temperament all play a part in this. I would never known a Fila.

  • you're an ignorant fucking idiot. THINK before you open your mouth.

    Filas aren't show dogs. They have no place in a show ring, anyone who "shows" their Fila is a fucking idiot, much like you are.

    Filas are meant to guard estates, not people. They could give a fuck about people.

  • You don't have to get mad.. it's my personal opinion. Showing is meant to prove the dog's breed standard, but it's not necessary. And yeah, they could give a fuck about people. That's what I said.

  • nah ther good gaurd dogs but ther banned in the uk and alot of other countries. personally i think any dog wich has a hatred towards any stranger needs slicin apart

  • if you are going to own a Fila Brasileiro, you

    better take out insurance and you shouldn't

    live in a largely populated area. These dogs have been known to fight off bears, wolves, and other predators so they are not for the irresponsible.

  • Caucasian Ovtcharka is more aggressive and more powerful then a fila but the down side is if even the owner threatens him he will attack. But filas are more loyal. But Caucasian Ovtcharkas will show aggression at 3 weeks of age here watch this video

    youtube-dot-com/watch?v=hwYxRG­V-kBc

  • Youve never even owned a CAFIB Fila. Because if you did you wouldnt be saying what your saying. Filas are part mastiff and a Causasian is more powerful? Impossible, plus the Fila is more agile and quicker. There is noway a Causcasian is more aggressive. It is not born with the genetic agression of hatred towards strangers like the Fila called Ojeriza. You might need to do a lil applied research. Instead of reading forums and mags as your only source of info.

  • Keep your fuckin mouth shut on topics you know nothing about.

    Caucasian Ovcharkas are FLOCK GUARDIANS. do you know what that means? It means that they're never meant to have ANY contact with humans. They livs with the livestock.

    Filas are human dogs, they are human guardians and hunters. Therefore, human companionship was a quality bred into them.

  • Beautiful dogs, I would love to own one but, sadly, my country (UK) has banned them.

    I have only seen one, in Lima, they are totally unspoilt working dogs whose protective urge is second to none.

    Definitely the loyalist breed I have ever encountered.

  • filas da best init...

  • don't argue cause the Caucasian and the Filla are two different tipes of dog,witch i am sure they are in top 5 of guard dogs,and should be treated right,cause they are different,the Fila was a guard and hunting dog,the Caucazian is a flock guardian,but both have the same job to do(protect)against anything,and every dog that's big has a chanse to hold it's own against any tipe of dog...so please don't argue,cause they'r both great dogs,i would love to have them both.PACE

  • caucasian ovtcharkas aren't mean over protective dogs by nature. The fila is highly over protective. Thas all there is to say. Caucasians are very nice around family and acquaintances. They're only mean around complete strangers.

  • If you guys want to see an overprotective dog, I suggest you go to Caucasus region of Russia, or some of the countries that are in Caucasus and walk into someone's yard that has Caucasian Ovcharka. Very very mean dogs, and will fight till the last breath to protect what is his or his owner's.

  • Still, Not better than a Fila

  • Everyone has a different taste. And it is pointless to argue about it. I grew up in Armenia and my uncle had many Caucasians and I absolutely love these dogs.

  • then go comment on the CO videos, no one gives a fuck about you here

  • WOW.....Keep it up. You'll go a long way in life.

  • Why would you leave a comment on this page?

    This video shows that a Fila is OBVIOUSLY capable of holding it's own against a Caucasian. Why leave a comment like that?

  • can someone tell me, was it the Portuguese who originally bred this dog?

  • No, it was the Spanish, but it has been refined by the Brasilians.

  • Really? But how was it the Spanish if Brazil was a Portuguese colony for 500 years? I'm quite sure it was the Portuguese who originally bred this dog and then refined by the Brazilians... Remember , the Spanish influence in Brazil is very small...

  • It was the Portugese.

    To rainbowfirewave:

    The Spaniards have their own Mastiff. The SPANISH MASTIFF, haha.

  • eu not falow english zo eztou excrevendo esee coment ario tod exquisit asim qqe e pa parec que e em ingreis...

  • i own four filas two female two male all brothers and sisters, boths parents i had shipped from argentina back in 2001, but i lost both the female and male parents due to a certain type of dogfood, the mother died two days after giving birth and i have had to raise all four my self, they are all black and are by far way more protective over me than their parents were,

  • not true caucasian ovcharka mountain dogs are also a breed that do not accept strangers

  • Loool because Kangals are so new OMFG!Its people like you who declare these beautiful but also dangerous Animals to Fashion Dogs...nobody without Sheeps Cows or a GIANT FENCED YARD should be allowed to get those pets...!!!

  • kangals are the new cool dog. why does everyone compare things to a kangal? i would take a fila for protection over a kangal any fucking day,as would anyone with half a brain.

  • If a Fila is friendly with strangers it does not meet the breed standard and should be assumed to be a mixed-breed, which can be common as some breeders have taken shortcuts to get certain sizes and colours. A true-temperament dog is really only for a person with years of experience with protection dogs otherwise too much of a liability. And they are almost unadoptable if you need to get rid of it so do your research first. Our intact male weighs 174# and we never take chances with visitors.

  • You're completely right. I got a young fila puppy that needed a home. I didn't know much about them but i've grown up with large dogs (mastiffs, great danes, rotts) so i thought i could handle him. After research i found out i'd be in for true test as he got older. At about 8 mo. i finally had to give him up. He was too agressive toward my neighbors and friends. Not a bad dog at all but you have to know what you're getting in to.

  • I had a fila brasileiro and I thnk that the these dogs are really cool. OK. sayonara my friends.

  • i dont know but i have two i dont know what happend that the feamle did not have that gene cause shes the most playful thing that u can imagine with everybody, she gets scared of anything, but the male well thats anohter story

  • i have a fila and its black u loves me to death his a little shacky about strangers but thre the best dogs in the world and i wouldnt do anthing to hurt him so noamti go fucking die u should be casterated

  • HAHA, very mistaken. Aside from maybe a Tosa, Pit, Kangal. There is not much else with a fighting chance. That said , they are guards not fighters.

  • Sadly they are banned in the UK. A perfect dog for me, miles from any neighbour. Maybe not the best dog for idiot teenagers who live in cities though eh?

  • they are not banned totally. you can get wrtten permission from the council that you are allowed this dog but only if you keep a muzzle on him and keep him on a lead when you take him for walks, the dog is insured and is micro chipped so still can...

  • Filas the best for me!!!

  • okay i love Filas and i have one and its the best dog ever! so nomtai , whoever you are, go fornicate yourself! your rude about saying something about a dog you've obviously never had. so screw off

  • Are you saying that you fornicate with your dog???

    That is disgusting.

    Particularly with such an ugly dog.

  • Okay, cant you read? im telling you to do that, i would never do that to a dog, espesially such an amazing dog. THEY ARE NOT UGLY, THEY ARE AMAZING!

  • you f*^%$ing a hole these dogs are amazing and maybe you should be put down cause youre so ugly you have issues when you look in the mirror . if you dont understand the beauty of a fila then why are you looking at videos of a supierior speciecies. get educated and leave brittany alone

  • what do you know?

  • wow u dont like filas um going to kill u

  • Those dogs are illegal in the UK. They're just too aggressive to be allowed here.

  • Im going to import one from Brazil i live in canada its hard to get one no breeders.

  • Was trhinking on getting one myself, was between that and a Tosa. I opted for the Tosa as there are breeders in Canada.

  • vao todos voces tomar no cu seus filhos da puta

  • what a horrible dog??????????? obviously you dont have one. i do as well as 18 other dogs and my fila is my greatest dog ever. dont judge what you dont know.thanx.

  • Looks like a horrible dog to me too. Maybe your dogs look good to you but disgusting to everyone else, who knows! Maybe everyone's laughing about your dogs behind your back but they're too polite to tell you!

  • Good point. I met his dogs - they smell.

  • listen mr. or miss nomtai you no nothing about this breed so go away and slag someting you have grounds on. filas are beyond amazing and you obviously have no clue. no clue.

  • there is no such thing as a gentle fila. ofcourse he is gentile with you and the family because you are the love of his life...but never trust your fila with guests. the Fila truly is one of the best breeds ever!

  • filas were developed a a working dog so you should praise the people who work this breed and thank them for your protection
