I was just checking out a few things on facebook (I have several Fila based facebook pages on my friends list) and was looking at some pictures of a Specialty show. There are people complaining about a judge that didn't score a Fila high enough (even excluded it completely) because he would not allow himself to be touched and there are some comments about a dog or two that doesn't look at all like a Fila but apparently got "scored" pretty high. Then there was a comment about a judge (Might have been the same one from the earlier complaint) that continued to get "too close" to the Fila's and how they were dissapointed that she was picked to be a judge. I found it all very interesting to read and see but my biggest question is ......How did she walk away unscathed? I have been researching the Fila for quite some time and believe that I have learned A LOT and as most of you know it is my dream to own a Fila and I have even went as far as finding THE Fila male that I would someday like to have a puppy from (Hopefully, that will actually happen) but either way, I do know what I am looking for in a Fila and will definitely own one within the next couple of years. One of the things that I find so interesting about thee Fila is it's dislike for people outside of his immediate family. I find that to be oe of the most impressive things about this breed. The dedication to HIS people and his unmovable desire to protect them. Anyyway, looking at these pictures just kinda threw me off a bit. If had a Fila, I would consider that Fila a "knock off" or "fake" if he allowed strangers to walk right up to him/us and chat.
My question is: Do any of you actually think that it is ok for a Fila (Even those of softer temperment) to allow such a thing? Would you consider this (Under any circumstances) correct?
Personally, I would not. I so admire the Fila and am a bit obsessed with the breed to be honest but this is not what I believe to be a "Fila".
Just curious.
