Fila Brasileiro

 

The Fila Brasileiro is a breed listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act and is banned in countries such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and Denmark. It is not suitable for first-time dog owners. Owning this breed can make obtaining homeowner’s insurance difficult, and the legal liabilities associated with it can be expensive. Filas drool and shed heavily and are naturally hostile toward guests or strangers. Originally bred as hunting dogs, they will fiercely protect their families.

If you are determined to own this powerful Mastiff, you must be a firm, confident, and consistent leader. The Fila requires an owner who can establish dominance as the alpha. A passive owner risks the dog assuming the alpha role. As Dog Breed Info states, “A dog with the massive size and strength of the Fila that believes he is alpha to humans is downright dangerous.”
