    Gustar Barrow originally, from Guyana grew up with a Fila named Duke. On a hunting trip Gustar credits Duke with saving his life or at least from great harm, when Duke took down a Wild Boar only feet from a young Gustar.
    Fila Brasileiro is also known as the Brazilian Mastiff. The word "Filar" in Portuguese literally means "hold, arrest, grab". The breed is a "Catch dog", a dog that "bites and not loose".
    The Fila Brasileiro is believed to be a descendant of the 15th-century English Mastiff, bloodhound, bulldog and Rafeiro do Alentejo. The Fila Brasileiro breed was bred and raised primarily on large plantations and cattle farms where they originated.
    They were taught to chase down jaguars, cattle, and other animals, as well as runaway slaves. The dogs would grab the slave or animals by the neck and hold them until the farmer arrived. This instinct can be observed among puppies when they are playing.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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

    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.

      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!

      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:

      Activate the automatic caption and have it translated, just see the difference in behavior towards these three dogs.

I could approach any breed of dog, with permission from the owner, but I would never approach a Fila.

    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".

    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!

      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.

    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... '

I cant wait till he makes a whippet/greyhound doc (hint)lol, No, but seriously, these are fast becoming my favourite vids on youtube.

    I’m from Brazil and my uncle’s had Filas for over 20 years, 3 or 4 at a time. In all the years I’ve been to his house, he never leaves the dogs out of their kennels while we are outside. They’re his yard dogs, he uses them for protection. Once, they tore my aunt’s car apart chasing a squirrel, I mean they destroyed metal, these dogs aren’t for first time owners

    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

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

    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.
