Comment to 'SAO JOSE DA LAPA KENNEL BY OLEGARIO. STANDARD BLACK FILAS'
  • Mr. Morais Pinto started it with a female brought from Guaxupé, Minas Gerais, called Guaíra (with initial registration BKC/KCP-22668). She was brindle, small, but strong. Together with Juca de Itapecirica, she produced the famous Guaçu do Cruzeiro do Sul (BKC/KCP-23054), 70 cm heigh, weighing 73 Kg. From this line descends the National Champion Hudson of Bras Dog, who shows up in Orca, Xavante, Baiana, Vereda, Juriti, Hunno, Fumaça, and Aroeira do Boa Sorte pedigrees. Besides this, the pedigree of Raio de Paraibuna,( breeder is Cel. Arthur José Walter Verlangieri, owner of Paraibuna Kennel in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, founder of CMCFB -Clube Mineiro dos Criadores de Fila Brasileiro), shows Hudson of Bras Dog (paulista line) as sire of Raio, Rás, Rainha, Riga, Recruta, and Reiuna de Paraibuna. Paraibuna kennel was a traditional "mineiro kennel" located in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, who extensively used "paulista" lines from Bras Dog, Cruzeiro do Sul, Guaporé-Açu, and Itacolomi kennels. At page 189 under the title "Colores permitidas por el standard de la FCI", Mrs. van Damme includes the grey colors (ceniza claro, ceniza prateado), when actually in order languages, "ash", "grey", "cinza", this color is not permitted. Maybe there has been a confusion made with the colors "champagne" and "vinegar" which are permitted under the classification of fawn, not grey. Also, Mrs. van Damme a continuously keeps repeating that black or dark brindles are not permitted by Cafib. She should keep repeating that black and dark brindles are permitted by the official FCI standard. Brindles having a basic color being the stripes either of less intensity or with very long stripes. When you have a black dog with only one yellow stripe, he is considered a dark brindle, not a solid black one. At page 139 the author writes: "La Confederação Brasil Kennel Club no se preocupaba de limpiar su propio establo, al contrario, seguia con los ataques a los "disidentes" del Cafib". I have to say that "the stable" where Mr. Paulo Roberto Godinho (who wrote the prologue of Mrs. van Damme book soaked with Cafib propaganda) is homologated as a judge, will look at the same regulations that suspended judge Christopher Habig from judging in Brazil. No CBKC/FCI judge is allowed to promote a dissident club and Mr. Godinho is openly a declared Cafib follower. "The stable" has a disciplinary and ethical council that will take care of Mr. Godinho soon.
