Man this isnt even the first place this began between the 2. This will never end but its good they both breed for the best and have top notch dogs. A little competition is good.

There are good dogs in both sets/both organizations. I like the CAFIB side of the argument based on the litter registration practices,not the types of dogs involved. This is my point. Stay with me. A litter is only as good as the average dog in that litter. Meaning if you have one dog that is absolutely perfect and the rest of the litter are culls or pets then the average of that litter is sub-par. If the next litter is all above average hounds, nothing spectacular, just typical solid working animals, the entire litter passes and this a point where the breed can be improved upon. This nothing spectacular, typical litter will (odds are) produce dogs like themselves. This litter can be bred to approved dogs and then things get better. The CBKC really has nothing to regulate what can be registered or reproduced. Only the preferences of the individual owner/breeder. Although I see good and bad in both, if the CAFIB mindset about litter registration were adhered to the dogs would benefit. Granted, there are CAFIB dogs that get passed thru and are not good examples, but at least there is a tool in place to help the breed move forward. For me that is the only thing one group has that the other does not, and if there is separation, at least for me, that would be the edge. S

Slim, I agree. Lets forget about pure and not pure for a second... both sides will have dogs that people would be happy with, this is obvious and no one has ever said that the other side doesnt have good dogs just that 1 side is breed specific. now with the CAFIB thing (it aint perfect by any means), the eval is there to show #1 that your dog is more than likely either a purebred Fila or not and then #2 if it is approved with or without restrictions. There could be a dog that is approved but with so many and deep restrictions that it probably shouldnt be bred. For example lets take a dog that is border line on temp, nerve, and has a few (or many) flaws but just skates on the line of being disqual'd... that dog will be approved but with restrictions (which would be noted).. IMO they could approve that dog with a "not for breeding" note on it. yes, the dog is still pure just not a good example of the Fila Brasileiro breed to be used for the preservation of the breed.

LMFAO funniest shit I've heard in a while.

Its not funny.. NY also has this retarded crap that teams will play a game (basketball, baseball, etc) and whether you win or lose you are celebrated like a schmuck! everyone gets the same trophy and they sing a freaking song afterwards...... when real life comes these kids are in for a world of hurt and then ofcourse its everyon else's fault that your kid is a no talent slacker that lacks ambition or any drive. I have to make the teacher give me the whole years plan in advanced and my kids have to be at the min 1/2 a school year ahead of the class, if they lose at something we will practice till they freaking win, no giving up.. I dont care if they arent first at everything just as long as they TRY to beat everyone else, lol. if I see them not trying.... that's their arse.

Just playing devil's advocate but explain Finland? You dont need to try and beat everyone in order to be good at something...

I can understand little kids. A socker game with 3-5yr olds is just some kids kicking a ball. But they need to learn that hard work brings the reward. We would be better off identifying our kids strong areas and fucusing on what they do excell at, than making them think they are going to the nfl and cant catch a ball.

Lucky for them the federal govt has plenty of taxpayer funded jobs ready for them, TSA for example. When they are not busy patting down handicapped kids they get on the internet and play, on our dime of course and sometimes on our stolen laptops.

The irony of that is that as much as Cafib breeders hate CBKC/FCI they all continue to give them money to register and pedigree their dogs. Until this day I have yet to see a Cafib issued pedigree. And their breeding approval or restriction means nothing, it is not enforced, and Cafib breeders/owners are able and DO breed their dogs to whatever they want. Many times strictly for money as they accuse the other side of doing.


That being said I totally agree that only hip checked and temp tested Filas should be bred, and most breeders I know do that.

Ace, I already posted a CAFIB pedigree for you and you said it was stupid... people register dogs with cbkc because ANYONE can do it and it is freaking easy... all you need is money and VOILA!!! instant purebred (for cbkc anyway). to get full CAFIB papers it is so hard that most dont have the time to do it but still alot of people do. almost all the CAFIB breeders in Brazil have CAFIB pedigrees and some dont register their dogs at all with cbkc. the dog is yours, if you bring it to a CAFIB eval and refuse to do what the judge suggests that is your decision.. sene has had dogs CAFIB approved and he breeds them to his dogs that are not CAFIB filas... should he? the preservist in me says no but there is nothing saying he cant. The judge doesnt tell you which dog you have to breed to he gives you suggestions on what to look for in a potential mate.. you really should get your info from another place bro, you dont know what you are talking about.

so you are telling us you finally quit your uncle Al's septic sewage removal service and got a job with TSA? Good move bro! I suggest using it as a stepping stone to move onto a more established agency. good for you, I'm so proud.

That really seems stupid. Why would anyone waste money registering their cafib dog with CBKC, when they believe that the organization is destroying the breed.

If you are a cafib breeder and say you got 10 pups. If 7 of the 10 failed, would you still be considered a cafib breeder?

You know what? I am not exactly sure how that cafib registration goes but if I remember correctly there is more involved.

Expertise?

There is no such thing as a "cafib breeder". There are people who breed that type and both types.



That really seems stupid. Why would anyone waste money registering their cafib dog with CBKC, when they believe that the organization is destroying the breed.

Because apparently cafib does issue a very minute number of initial registrations which are recognized by no one except members of their club. They do not issue pedigrees. They cannot $ell their puppies without a pedigree so they pay CBKC/FCI to register/pedigree their dogs and litters so they are marketable. I guarantee every one of Juan's dogs as well as his puppies have CBKC/FCI pedigrees and not one of them have a cafib pedigree. Love them, hate them or don't give a rats ass FCI is a large, well financed and organized institution. Cafib is a small club of breeders who believe they own the genetically pure race of dog which those of us with common sense know does not exist.


so you are telling us you finally quit your uncle Al's septic sewage removal service and got a job with TSA? Good move bro! I suggest using it as a stepping stone to move onto a more established agency. good for you, I'm so proud.

Well for the record Juan, I have never signed the back of a government check period. I sign the front of paychecks, as well as tax payment checks much of which are wasted. To quote a very knowledgeable Fila man Robert_eptx when you completely erased the Fila Wikipedia page and rewrote it entirely......

"While I'm not at all surprised by this, even I have to admit its quite tacky and very dishonest.. You could have at least made mention that the edits you were making were based on the standard as recognized by CAFIB. To the best of my knowledge FCI has yet adopt the standard you use as the official one for the Fila.. Presenting the opposite view is one thing totally changing it to support your philosophy is another. It's a matter of credibilty and when a peron or persons start presenting only one side of a story as the only true fact(s) the credibilty meter starts slipping closer to zero. WHile I agree with some things CAFIB is attempting to do or change as long as you or anyone else continue to use the tatics you do I'll never join or align with this organization.. And to think my tax dollars go towards paying your salary.. No wonder this country is going down the tubes faster than an out of control snowboarder on a slope."

I wish Robert posted on here. Miss his honest input.

Yea I understand that Ace. But so far as I can tell even cafib types aint cafib types unless breed by a cafib supporter so to speak. For example... If Lions den had two dogs that fit cafib to a T, yet were never reg or what have you with cafib, some would blow their top if you then said lions den breed cafib dogs. Hell even if both dogs came right from cafib with papers. They would not be considered cafib breeders. But I think we all know their are cafib breeders. Not because they fit cafib standard, but because they support and believe cafib.

I gotcha Chuck. There is nothing wrong with with having both types in a program. I have distant blood in some my dogs from lines cafib covets, I also have blood from lines that would make people on that side shake their head. I could care less, I like what I like.

If LD thought they could make more money with cafib they might go that way LOL.

Well you know I dont have a issue with breeders using both. I have noticed multiple places that do. But I have also seen you mention some with both, and being told so and so is not a cafib breeder. I could be off in left field totaly. It ust seems to me that to be considered a cafib breeder by cafib members, it's not about just a standard, but also where your support lies

Well said. It has been a rough year for cafib. They lost a few breeders, some that left made the point that hypocracy is rampant and that people care more about preserving the club than preserving the dog. If you take the best from both types and combine them you really have something. And there are breeders doing that but you would be shunned for even suggesting the idea of that. It will never change.

what breeders left? Just curious. CAFIB has shown the most thorough system to preserve the breed in the face of mixed breeding that is and was common knowledge. If a dog meets the CAFIB standard then great, CAFIB will evaluate and approve dogs with unknown pedigree and has offspring analysis as a facet of consideration. I don't know for sure but I think there are a fair percentage of dogs evaluated that don't pass and that should be what you want for working towards future of breed IMHO. I have never been to any evaluation by any club but I can imagine all clubs have issues as far as infighting/clicks/politics etc., especially when breeders are in a way competing with other breeders for business and notoriety. Isn't that kind of a known stereotype of dog world anyhow? as to nastiness at certain levels with the competition especially when it is subjective opinion of judge(s).

umm, stupid? nope. See some people just want a good dog and they like what CAFIB has but like the idea of showing in multiple venues or there is no CAFIB shows near them, or they just do it for fun. I know a CAFIB guy that takes his Filas to ARBA shows... he always wins BOB because it is te only Fila there but he gives the ribbon to his daughter to play with... it is just something for him to do on his time off with his dogs. I have always said that CAFIB should have some sort of initial papers that do not turn into full papers until the dog has gained full approval (this is really hard). So no, there are plenty of reasons to get FCI papers or ckc or whatever people want.

If you are a cafib breeder and say you got 10 pups. If 7 of the 10 failed, would you still be considered a cafib breeder?
If you are a CAFIB breeder and you get 10 out of 10 fail then you need to examine your stock hence the regulation thet the dog must be bred w/ 3 diff dogs and those litters evaluated... ie. I have a great bitch, breed her with #1 male and all pups come out wrong...is it the female or the male? in order to find out you must breed that female with another male.. does she throw those same characteristics as the first litter? Yes= it is her NO= she needs to be bred to a diff male to make sure.. did the pups come out bad again Yes= it is her No= it was the first male.. it is simplified here but you get the gist of it.

ERRR... slow down there killer.. that is straight up bullshit. no one has EVER said that. If Lions Den had to CAFIB dogs and they complemented each other, were bred and produced pups that were of good quality... I would even buy one. I have bought dogs from breeders that have only 2 or 3 CAFIB dogs and 15 non CAFIB dogs before. If a person/breeder/kennel breeds GSDs and they just happened to stumble to a great Fila breeding I would buy from them. Sena Sene has some CAFIB dogs and he has bred them before and produced some good dogs that were sold right at a CAFIB show to CAFIB kennels... sooo, I dont know where you got that idea but it is straight nonsense.

lol, you are a liar.. only CBKC loses kennels not CAFIB.. you are referring to Sileddin kennel, am I right? LMFAO, you are such a tool sometimes bro. you are getting your info from bad source and w/o research you spew it as truth... let me school you again shall I? Sileddin has NEVER been a CAFIB kennel, he has NEVER endorsed CAFIB. The owner is an FCI judge, he has dogs mostly from tabayara... did you think that is a CAFIB kennel? NOPE!!!!! it is a UNIFILA kennel. I like his dogs and many if not most would be CAFIB approved. his dogs have won over a 100 FCI championships and about 3 CAFIB ones... guess which way he leans? lol.

what breeders left? Just curious. CAFIB has shown the most thorough system to preserve the breed in the face of mixed breeding that is and was common knowledge.

The non CAFIB guys never say anything bad about their own dogs, to the contrary you will see them post a pic, ask for critiques and you will see... "best dog in the world", wish I ahd 100 like her, flawless, perfect.... then one guy says, dont you think its legs are too short? Then it gets cute... who the hell do you think you are?, you are a nobody, your dogs are all shit and thats why you say such bad things about my dogs... "but I got my dogs from canil rio negro and I thought they were good".... Oh, wait a second, my mistake your dogs are perfect... "I'm sorry that i thought your dogs legs were short it must be the angle, now that I look more, your dog is perfect too..."
