Fila prey drive **Warning graphic**

lol that's a tall order, have you considered dogman#1's dogs, Ill be honest I'm curious to see how they are, so if you get a pup from him It'd be interesting to see how it turns out. Have you owned Cafib dogs in the past?


Lol I know it's a long shot lol---

Never owned a cafib dog--- My friend almost had one and that went ahhhh the wrong way fast lmao. I was five minutes away from sending money to a breeder that I thought had 100% cafib then ace posted something I researched and realized wait a minute ace is right dammit!

I like you need to see if the hype is real or just talk, even if I got a cafib pup I guess I wouldn't be able to evaluate the dogs as a whole with just one. I just want a type one temp fila


Most breeders I talk to only want to talk about how bad the next breeder is. I ask to test the dogs and am told well I can't let you do that but I can tell you the great grandfather is famous....

In the thread that was locked there was mention of the "famous Hercules do Alto Quatis". Thats news to me, I have have dogs with his bloodline, I had no idea he was world famous LOL. And they sure got their money's worth out of Umiri Itanhandu, that stud must hold the record for matings because I have never seen a dog's name thrown out by so many people as him. And I will say I do like A a few Cafib lines but Itanhandu is certainly not one of them. Its amazing they sell so many puppies, all because of hype.

Good job! Was it a long or pretty quick chase?

My staffy (granted she's only 30 lbs) has caught 3 rabbits now to my knowledge. Whether it's a small, medium or large dog, it can be quite the thing to watch. I remember watching Thalia the first time thinking, "Oh how cute... she'll never catch that rabbit". Then before I knew it, she had bitten its head off. Guess I was wrong! :p

They sell so many puppies cause they are a puppy mill lol , they are no different then any other puppy mill, keep lots of dogs locked in cages and breed the shit out of them and it shows on all his females. 70 plus dogs and 2 kennel attendents??? Screams mill to me and not to mention they have burned soooooooo many people along the way.

Who was the breeder, I want to know just for future reference. You can PM me if you don't want to say it on a public forum.

Damn it I missed a thread that got locked. Thats right up my ally. DOGMAN!!! AAHAHAHA

Ace I say all the time "if you run, you just became a rabbit". Nothing runs from Kona. Kona can tell when anyone has been in the house, where they walked, and where they spent the most time. And I have never seen a dog as fast or agile over 110lb or so. The hardest part I could see with her prey drive, calling her off. She dont want to hear it. If she gets a coon in a tree, or a family of turkey for that matter, she will just live under it barking and barking. And run straight for that tree for weeks after. Poor turtle aint got a chance ahahahaha

Sorry Ace but I am hijacking your thread...

Do any Fila owners have a video of your dogs running and turning on a dime? I have heard that they are quite impressive at it. I would love to see it.

Here's a picture of speed lol, i will look to see what i have for vids, This is Steve last winter, i love watching them run.

Missed you Chuck, glad to see you. The link was removed, but I screen saved it and can send it to you. It was Jackboot#1's line being crossed with Borghetto blood and they said "have an excellent CAFIB Fila family tree......And not the "Americano" cross bred monsters". I laughed so hard my head hurt. Surely Juan saw that and was shaking his head with a opossum eating shit grin on his face, "I'd buy that for a dollar", priceless.

Wait a minute MF, they are lawyers and breed Filas for a hobby.:cool: To better the breed of coarse. Not to mention their rant on consistency. They went from straight or even ascending top lines to........

BH-K9 You have to make some friends, do your research, and take your time. Good filas are a true gift. It matters what you are looking for specifically. Read my post on the difference between "ojeriza" and true real guarding temp, and then if you want to throw in Prey drive, pack your lunch. This is a secretive breed, do you think you are gonna find the best lines by asking on here? Or picking off websites. Dig thru the BS and take time to really learn. Chuck doesn't even have papers for his female, and she is a "mongrel" black to boot that has prey drive and could out work most Filas hands down, what does that tell you.

Yea I got lucky. But on the other hand, if the line is earning it's lunch, you got a much better chance for sure. She's a great mongrel and anyone who wants to tell her other wise is more then welcome to have a sit down with her. I put very little stock in someones papers. Some of the best papers dogs out there are junk. Clubs sound good when reading propaganda from said club. We have seen vids here of cafibs being tested and passed when the were running behind the owner. I say there are fine dogs in both camps. I also say both camps are full of sh%&. Find what you like and screw the politics. If it's hot pink and breathes fire you gonna tell it it aint a dragon?
