FILA BRASILEIRO A BEAUTY AND A BEAST

[@nathenfreeman5064]

My father has had over a dozen Filas... We had them around my family while growing up and would walk circle around me and my sister at our property. My father told me one time when i was young i started walking down our dirt road trying to leave and the dog came and picked me up by my shorts and carried me back home. I do disagree with what he said about the dog being friendly to other dogs, ive seen a fila pick up a pitt and shack it like a rag doll until it was dead. This breed is beautiful but not to be messed with by the untrained.

[@FrankGabers]

Hey Guys. I have has several Dog breeds in my life. Like mastino, alano, great dane, fila , mastif, alabai and Cane Corso. Honestly, No other breed reach a fila. But now i turned to the original fila brasileiros. They are simular looking but still a fully working Dog that also protects u from big Cats and so on. The fila protects u against Humans or dogs. But If u have a Farm and need the ultimate Farm Dog, that protects u, Herd Lifestock and u can uae for hunting, than the OFB should BE Ur Dog.

Fila is a special dog. Don't get one if you have any doubt you can keep it as long as it lives. They are like white on rice with the family but do not like strange adults. You can try to socialize them but you will likely have a problem one day. They have insane defense drive and will not hesitate if they feel threatened. They are not afraid of anything.

[@stacybaltimore3649]

They are fearless

[@darrylhansell3300]

[@bk9adestramento]

Hy guys, I'm Brazilian and I need to say that this dog is not for a normal family, he has a natural "ojeriza", he does not accept any person that is not part of the family, if you do not have experience with protection dogs, do not have a Fila, Fila means bite, hold and not letting go in Portuguese.

[@phgodts]

I reinforce Marcelo's argument. My family had one years ago, extremely kind with people of the house but very aggressive with strangers. Took me months to educate him to ignore people in the street while walking. Another fact about the breed, they were used to protect the cattle from jaguars in the rainforest too

[@jefersonximenes6998]

Best documentary of this breed I have seen they are spectacular animals and will give their lives for you but they are not normal pets like a Labrador. These animals may look docile and sweet but will bite in a millisecond if they feel someone is challenging their owner or property even the people that say they are "good with dogs". I never locked my house until I owned a Fila and then I locked the house for the intruders protection not mine. That being said when they are with you they are teddy bears and you have nothing to fear but never forget the fact these animals work and their job is protecting their herd and pack. Do not get one of these dogs without having a huge wallet, fenced in property, and reading everything you can about their behaviour. They are a bigger liability than a firearm and can be just as lethal.

[@kelvinll2]

@@Drquimbaymatumbo Olá amigo eu sou Brasileiro, e tenho um Fila. Provavelmente você terá que usar um tradutor para falar comigo, mas acredito que você entenderá oq eu vou passar para você. A raça Fila Brasileiro é proibida de fazer aquela competição de segurança aonde o trinador usa aquela roupa de proteção, pois quando um Fila Brasileiro esta em guarda protegendo seu dono o Seu foco é o agressor e não a Luva que ele esta vestindo.. Quando o Fila agarra a luva do treinador a mordida é tão forte que os treinadores retiram quase na mesma hora a luva.. Só que assim que ele retira a mão da luva, o Fila solta a luva e avança na direção do Treinador.. Por isso ele são proibidos nesses treinamento e competições.. A questão do Fila, é Defesa e nada mais. Se você quer defender seu rebanho de ovelhas ou gado.. Tenha um Fila.. Ele poderá enfrentar até um LOBO norte americano.. provavelmente ele não sobreviverá mas ele dará sua vida para proteger seu Patrimônio . O Fila Brasileiro ele é compromissado com qualquer pessoa e idade, mas que seja da sua família! Se um parente distante chegar na sua casa você poderá abrir as portas para ele.. Ele poderá entrar na sua casa. Entretanto seu cachorro não dará atenção a ele como um cachorro comum.. Ele ficara sempre cercando ele e atento nas suas movimentações. E se ele achar que esse parente esta lhe atacando, ele vai atacar!!! É simples se você tiver sua mulher e mais 3 filhos ele será fiel até a morte com vocês 5 porem.. só com vocês 5!

[@ricardopavan3464]

@@Drquimbaymatumbo You are completely wrong, I am Brazilian and this dog really is a dog selected for the sole and exclusive function of work. It is impossible to train this dog to socialize, or to have it in the backyard of a big city like it was some kind of pet. If you don't believe: Fila: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h56xkHWOdsxpp7M&ab_channel=RichardRasmussen Cane Corso: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHaxfKWVisd_kNk&ab_channel=RichardRasmussen Dogo Argentino: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGnQo6edlqx-psk&ab_channel=RichardRasmussen Activate the automatic caption and have it translated, just see the difference in behavior towards these three dogs. Nobody in Brazil would be stupid enough to approach a Fila without being in his everyday environment, because everyone knows the result. I could approach any breed of dog, with permission from the owner, but I would never approach a Fila.

[@achievementseeker1730]

they are really loyal to their owners, my neighbor had a fila for like 10 years, i used to pass by his house everyday for all of these 10 years and his dog NEVER gave me any sign of kindness at all, they only love their owners but its true love and loyalty for his group

Gustar Barrow did such a fantastic job of describing exactly how Filas behave and how much guidance they need from their people to help them be happy, content, trustworthy dogs. I really appreciate how candid the interviewees are in all Dogumentary videos. I foster a lot of giant breeds and when I see what other channels post about them, I can see why so many end up in the pound or get surrendered to rescue. The other channels make it sound like even very complicated breeds who absolutely need leadership and someone who will enforce boundaries are great for even the meekest owners, and it's such a disservice to the dogs and the people who end up with them. Dogumentary always plays it straight. Much appreciation!

This videos you guys make are AWESOME. Really informative. Been binge watching them and got so happy to see you have one on Filas ! Really awesome ! Thanks for the quality content ! Love Filas. People tremble, here in Brazil, when you tell them you own a Fila. When he said the dog loved the biting work, that's a Fila thing. "Fila" is a verb in portuguese, it means "hold/grab" in portuguese. That's what they were bred to do. Find than bite and hold down people. Another thing that is very prominent about Filas is that they can't be bought with food or anything else. If you're a stranger the only thing you'll get from a Fila is teeth. The bad thing about that is that you HAVE to lock your dog when you get visitors. They don't make friends. My uncle had one and so did my grandfather. Filas are great. OBS: Is the name of the dog "Jao" ? I'm Brazilian and "John" in portuguese is actually "João". Some people call guys named "João" by the nickname "Jão". But it's not an actual name. It's just a nickname. It's like an abbreviation of "João".

[@businesscenter9131]

Very good video. As, there is so little information in the U.S. about Filas any video is a plus. I just picked up my Fila puppy a week ago from a small breeder in South Carolina, who is originally from Brasil. The dog in this video while he moves and his proportions are very much like your typical Fila, black is not an accepted coat color by the CAFIB (the top organization that sets the breed standard for Fila Brasileiro in Brasil). Nonetheless, a very strong looking dog. Trust me real Filas are hard to find in the U.S. It took me a year of looking, and making friends with those who have experience with the breed. I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Other posters are correct; Filas are not for the meek of heart, but they are one of the few natural guard breeds that mix loyalty with a natural alertness to danger. As one breeder/trainer from Elói Mendes told me, virtually all of the traditional guarding breeds need to be trained to execute proper bite work, with Filas often times it seems like you are really training them when not to bite. As long as you understand the responsibility of owning a Fila, and are willing to invest the time and money into proper training, they are wonderful dogs. The next few years of training and nurturing should be fun!

[@oscar6043]

In the 70's there was a great controversy of the Fila Brasileiro's confiderations. There were many reports of mixing the Great Dane and the Neapolitan Mastiff, then obtaining the black Fila. Before, there was no black color. Currently the black standard is excluded from CAFIB, because we know that in the past there was really a mixture with other breeds to increase the size and muscle mass of the Fila Brasileiro. This was CBKC / FCI's biggest mistake.

[@GleidsonTseva]

Além da cor preta, esse fila também está grande para o padrão da raça, que deveria ser até 75 cm (30") e por volta de 50 KG (110 pound). Ele deve ter um pouco de ascendência Mastino Napoletano. Mesmo sendo um pouco menos atlético que o padrão, ainda é um belo animal.

Thanks for this realistic and practical discussion. I get so upset with owners who don’t respect the inherent qualities they were bred for. Doesn’t mean you can’t totally love them and acknowledge how awesome your dog is, but we’d all be a lot safer (including the dogs themselves) if their owners were also aware of and training for the risks their dogs pose

I have great respect for the way this man cares for this dog and his knowledge. He is very responsible and knows his dog. Not a breed for 99.9% of people. Ever.

[@FernandaFerreira-eo6sp]

Your Fila Brasileiro is beautiful and you really know him, his personality, his drive, etc. However, the Fila Brasileiro does not descend from the Mastiff. Extensive research here in Brazil has shown they descend from the "Alanos", Spanish and Portuguese dogs that were brought to South America by the settlers. They were first used to 'hunt" fugitive slaves and later to work on the farms and ranches, dealing with the cattle, protecting them from the jaguars. That's the origin of the Fila. Extremely loyal to their owners and family, excellent property guardians, and known for their hate towards strangers. As the presenter very well warned: 'Filas are not for the inexperienced... '

Nice. You can really tell how much he likes his dog.

I'm brazilian, and i have 2 filas on Farm. They are my babies, but trust me, this is not a cute pet for family's with little babys, of full houses. 1 year ago, we heard some comotion at the front of the house, when we got out, the 2 dogs hed killed a wolf.

[@Poteluz]

I didn't even know Brazil had wolves, are you brazilian living in Brazil or you live elsewhere?

[@gabriellopes9651]

@@Poteluz actually there is some species of wolves and wild dogs here, the most famous is the "Lobo Guará" or, in english, "manned wolf"

[@Poteluz]

@@gabriellopes9651 I know but that's not an actual wolf, that's a different kind of wild canine that any large powerful dog breed could kill. They just gave them that name but they're not an actual wolf.

[@gabriellopes9651]

@@Poteluz oh, didnt know they were not considered actual wolves, thank you. About their strength, I wouldnt say they are this weak, in Goiás, the state I live here in Brazil is the local with the most manned wolves, so its normal to see them and they are actually afraid of everything, but when they have to attack, things go bloody 😬

[@Poteluz]

@@gabriellopes9651 yeah I could imagine but any of these dog breeds would destroy one, a Mastiff, Boxer, American Bulldog, Doberman, Rottweiler, Pitbull, Akita, German Shepherd, Dogo Argentino, Cane Corso, Kangal, etc etc etc.

Always being interested in the border science of animal species, I´ve recently listened to the story of a guy who´s grandpa had a ranch in rural northern Florida and had lived there for a long time. To make a long story short, one day his grandpa took him to visit his friend in the forest but before going there he bought fresh fish (herrings I believe) salt, potatoes, red wine kitchen oil, charcoal) and food for chicken. When approaching the cabin in the woods his grandpa made some strange sounds and then started to offload the groceries and then went to see/feed the chicken he raised there. A short time after getting into the cabin, somebody knocked on the door and his grandpa went outside in order to talk to the person privatelly. A short time later his grandpa reenterred the room and asked his grandson to come and see his friend, an almost 9 ft tall Bigfoot. He was a little surprised but so was BF, but once the grandpa was present the boy didn´t feel insecure. The BF left for shortly after in order to bring his family and his grandpa started pulling the barbecue outside the cabin and put the charcoal on fire. While the fish was frying they lit a fire in order to heat the oilpan in which they pretented to make french fries, etc. Soon the BF was back and he brought with him his wife and 2 F Jrs a boy and a girl. During the party, where the BF eagerly ate the salty meal the boy relaxed a little and felt simpathy for the BF Jrs. Many years later, his grandpa had already passed he went to the cabin with a BRAZILIAN MASTIFF puppy which he gifted to the BFs. He remarks that one/two years later, when back to the cabin the huge BF was eager to show him how he had trained the dog. Many years later again he went back to the cabin and noticed that the bushes had somehow overgrown the little house but the chicken still where around and apparently got even more numerous. The now outgrown BF boy came out of the cabin saluted him but made signs that they had to leave. While leading him out of the woods he frequently made loud sounds with his voice as if to chase somebody away. He then new that the times had changed and that it was no more safe to walk into the forest all by himself. (cannot say if it´s true or not but it´s a nice story, imo). THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO, btw

[@polarvortex3294]

Yes, that was a nice story. Very interesting and a little scary at the end! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video, Zeke. Great guest you got for this.

[@Shanester66]

Great breed for their purpose. Back in the day I was tempted to get one. I had 3 Neos that all passed away. My lifestyle now being married with 3 kids doesnt present the right environment for a Fila Unfortunately. My house is like grand central station with neiborhood kids all the time. Not a good environment for a Fila...not to mention they are a restricted breed in my development. Still fascinating breed....they dont drool as much as a Neo. lol

[@Mknitfit]

Props..I love that dog. Have you ever been around a true American Pitbull dog?

[@GleidsonTseva]

I am from Brazil and I find it wierd calling Fila Brasileiro by the name in Portuguese as "Brasileiro" is translated as "Brazilian". It is a great breed for protection!

People talk about protection dogs and have guys in bite suits training them but there are very few PROVEN natural born man-stoppers left in the world. Typically because the dogs that had the backbone and drive to take down a grown man have been killed. Ive seen "protection" breeds such as a Cane Corso growl and bark but ultimately avoid direct engagement with an intruder. I am fortunate enough to own a natural born (no training) man-stopper. It was discovered in an unfortunate manner but fortunately the man will recover fully and got away with only 6 stitches and some deep puncture wounds on his side from an attack lasting less than 5 seconds. The court costs and hospital bills are very expensive but because we went to bat for him and met all the requirements ( microchip, $100,000 in liability insurance, muzzle, electric perimeter, 6 ft fence, vicious dog registration, warnings posted on all property entrances) that the court gave us we were able to keep him with us and save him from euthanization. He sleeps in bed with my wife and I every night and our teenage daughters snuggle and play with him. He is a hybrid (62.5% Boerboel, 12.5% dogo argentino, 12.5% turkish kangal, and 12.5% great dane) and currently weighs in around 145 pounds and around 30 inches at the shoulder. Owning a dog like this requires a ton of love, patience, a respect for what he is capable of, and the knowledge that if you allow him to think he is in charge, you've already lost the battle.

[@alvinkariuki830]

Hey ZEKE would you mind making another fila video, youve done multiple videos on other mastiffs. I would like to get another owners point of view.

8:20 does he have an issue with his hocks? His ankles almost touch the ground when he moves.
