---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Constantly, here in Brazil, we've had the same questions asked by new Breeders who are interested in Filas. There are some people, in Brazil and out of the country, whom in my opinion are old and experienced breeders . When I am in doubt about a dog or some details about a pairing, it is to them that I report to. No one knows everything. There are some breeders to whom I ask questions related to morphology. One of the greatest experts of dogs that I know, no matter the breed, and who always helps me , and I do respect his opinions, no doubt, is a breeder and judge of Dobermans and also a breeder of Pigeons, Mr. Mauro Zuin. When I have any doubt about an animal I ask for his aid and his opinions always make a lot of sense. Even without being a specialist of the BRAZILIAN FILA breed his wisdom helps me. Usually when this question is raised, the question is to get validation, so that we can get support from the "EXPERTS" that like the type of dog that we have. Hence, the great controversy is brought about when a hasty response is given. It is necessary to prepare it so that there is no doubt. Few amongst us accept a severe critique when it comes to our dogs. The best advice that I can give to all breeders who are truly interested in the Brazilian Fila is to follow the opinions and advices of someone they regard as a good breeder, no matter whom that is, and not keep searching for answers from various people and places. That is without a doubt a good starting point for having a fila.
