Hello everyone, this is my first post here. Growing up, my dad owned a fila, we got him in 1997 or `98 and he passed away in 2008. My dad was injured in an accident at work which left him paralyzed on his left side, he can walk and everything he just can't use his left arm, so he doesn't have much of a social life which was perfect for Cyrus (our fila). The day Cyrus died is the only time in my whole life I've seen my dad cry. I remember he was purchased from a kennel in Texas but I know the kennel is no longer around. From what I've read now that I'm older I know Cyrus was a CBKC fila, he was a black "mongrel" as I've seen some people call them, anyways now that I'm grown with my own family it's time I finally get one for myself and eventually I want to get my dad another one. My question is when reading CAFIB and CBKC breed standards, in the CBKC standard it says under temperament that the fila should be aloof of strangers. This I don't understand because Cyrus would have rather ate a stranger than let them touch me or my dad. I've never seen a dog with the confidence that Cyrus displayed. He would tolerate strangers as long as me or dad assured him it was ok and they didn't move to fast around us, so can someone explain what they mean by aloof, as far as CAFIB and CBKC go are the temperaments the same?<br>
