Hello
This is the first time I post here and I have a few questions about a fila ( Thas what they told me ) I adopted from Craigslist six months ago.
I found the add saying they were giving away two purebred fila brasileiro sand I decided to come see them; by the time I got there the male was the only one left. He was so skinny and I felt so bad for him so I took him home.
They had the mother and she was huge !! I didn't see the father but they told me he was even bigger; I also met the brother who was about a year old. The brother looked exavtly like the puppy I got.
I do love my dog and he is the best dog ever smart, so sweet and somewhat dominant but now at almost nine months old I do not see those characteristics they say about the filas ( ojeriza) he is not friendly and wouldn't let others to touch him but he always goes to people smells them and turns away is thag normal? I must say I took him everywhere from the first day and I always have people to visit me maybe that's the reason he isn't so protective as they told me e would be . The brother was friendly when I came to get the puppy and he was a year I guess they r friendly filas but he was huge and purebred for sure .
Now I am starting to think my fila isn't really purebred cause he isn't so big he is almost nine months 75 pounds and close to 23 to 24 inches tall is thag the real SiE for his age? He does not have those hanging lips however his neck is hanging and he his hips r high like a fila; he also drools a lot walks like a fila and his eyes have that sad look.
I calls the lady again she said he is a pure fila I just was not too sure cause his size and he isn't too aggresive .
I could try to post some photos I would like some feedback or opinions Pls
Thank U
