Thanks for the dog photos and stories.
One of my favorite breeds is the Brazilian Fila
(i.e., Fila Brasileiro). These dogs were
originally bred to track and capture escaping
slaves. Despite their terrible ancestry, the Fila
is an ideal watch dog, and breeders are attempting
to make it less aggressive. It will instinctively
defend its master without hesitation or any
previous training, and if left to its own devices
will hunt and kill large game. If I ever get a
place in the country, I'd want one of these mastiffs.
