I am looking for stories and/or videos of an actual Fila attack, can only seem to find the "temperament" videos with people using tools to work the dogs up.
Just trying to get an idea of what a Fila would be more likely to do, as I've found myself in a frustrating situation. Would a Fila be more likely to attack until a kill, only bite a few times, be satisfied if the person ran away, chase someone, etc.?
My guy is almost 11 months old and is starting to show a little bit of ojeriza. He will bark if he hears animals, a leaf, wrong noise on the tv; really he'll bark at almost anything lol. He has a few times charged out and stood barking in front of people that decided to come up my driveway uninvited. Right now he will only go up to them and bark, and as soon as I say something he stops. However, he usually hears them and is out the door before I even know anyone is there.
Here's the frustrating part. I have 50 acres in the middle of the jungle. I do not want visitors and feel I have made this abundantly clear. My house is up a 300m/1000ft extremely steep hill. I have a barbed wire fence, and a sign that says "Attack dog on premises, no trespassing."
This has not stopped anyone. They go so far as to undo my barbed wire. It's mostly people that "know" me, so they think these measures don't apply to them. They come to sell things mainly. I've told them to not come up because my dog is dangerous and if I need something I'll find them, to no avail. They continue to come whenever they want something and are not deterred by the big barking beastie.
So it's always in the back of my mind when he charges out that maybe this is the day his full ojeriza kicks in and someone is going to get the raw end of it. Until then I continue to work on cue response and hope it works should he ever attack.
