Fila Brasileiro (Brazilian Mastiff)
Note:If you have this breed, or know
anyone who does, please send a good profile photograph of the Dog (without humans in the
background). We shall publish it on this page with credits. You can send it either by
e-mail or post.
| This is one of Brazil's two native breeds. It is massive
and daunting in appearence and wary of strangers. The long muzzle pendulous skin and
superb ability to track make its bloodhound ancestry obvious. It has an ability to keep
the quary at bay until the hunter arrives rather than attack immediately. This ability was
used during the days of Brailian slavery when hapless fugitives were returned unharmed to
the slave masters. Due to its size and potential for agreesion it is banned in some
countries. It weighs 4150 kgs and is about 61-76 cms tall. It comes in a variety of
colours. |
