Comment to 'SAO JOSE DA LAPA KENNEL BY OLEGARIO. STANDARD BLACK FILAS'
  • Marcos, Interesting that you mention these kennels. A good friend of mine has dogs from Caramona, Engenho Velho and Amparo. I have personally seen and tested the dogs, but was not impressed. The dogs were very sharp and had a lot of "guard" instinct, but lacked the nerve strength to commit with strong bites. Usually the bites were chewy and lacked crushing power (due to the conflict inside the dog's head). I am curious if the CAFIB temp tests have been designed by actual dog trainers with proper knowledge of canine temperament, or designed by people that observed certain characteristics and decided thats how a proper Fila should be. We actually sat down and watched many tapes of CAFIB shows with temp tests and the pattern for the behaviour which I did not like was always present. Regards and thank you.
