This certainly was one of the most important lines of the Fila Brasileiro history. ABC is responsible for very famous champions not only in Brazil but also in Europe and in the United States. Monte family started their kennel in 1906 with dogs brought from ranchers of Sorocaba, São Paulo state. In 1920 they acquired and brought to Ipiranga district, where they had their textile industry, a large black Fila with white on the chest to be the guardian of their property. In 1934 they brought in yellow and brindle Filas. In 1939 they started a new line of yellow dogs without black mask, short and wide, with visible influence of boxers and bulldogs. Not satisfied with this line, finally, with the help of the Fila breeder Mr. Lemos de Franca, they acquired a pair (Sansão and Dalila) from São João da Gloria, close to Passos do Sul in Minas Gerais. They were yellow, medium seized, with black masks, with massive heads and good angulations. Later on he still added to his kennel dogs coming from José Alencar dos Reis, Fazenda Morro Grande, and from José Gomes de Oliveira, all from Minas Gerais. In those farms they were many fox hounds, and he noted that some of the dogs brought from Minas Gerais presented the influence of hounds, with white chests and long muzzles. Only through the years he succeeded in fixing a better type more on the Mastiff side, eliminating small heads and patched dogs. The most important blood lines from his kennel were it: A) Orixá de Parnapuan (1959) coming from Conselheiro Lafaiate and Carmo de Minas, Orixa had an excellent stable temperament. He was the Pilar of ABC kennel. His best offspring was Bororó do ABC (1974), excellent reproducer, who imprinted the massive head, lots of dewlaps and excellent temperament in his descendants. Bororó was half Mandaqui line. B) Lambaré do Guassu de Parnapuan _ this dog had a height of 80 cm, was long and some what leggish. Mr. Monte used this dog though he was not very satisfied with the temperament of some of his offsprings. This dog was the only remainder of Parnapuan kennel after a leptospirosis plague dizimated Dr. Paulo Santos Cruz kennel who had to start it all over again with dark brindles females given by Dr. Gregori Warchawchic and a male nicknamed Acarajé, from Fazenda do Engenho, Minas Gerais, registered under the name of Tigre de Araruama. His offsprings transmitted a lot of white. C) Jaca de Itapecerica _ This line also transmitted a lot of white, therefore the dog was given to Mr. Mirtho Amaral. From his descendants became the famous Guaçu do Cruzeiro do Sul, dark brindle, almost black (grandfather of the Gr. Ch. Delicado da Fazenda Poço Vermelho). Guapo do Cruzeiro do Sul was white with brindle patches, owned by Mr. Osny Morais Pinto and Luiz Bartuneck. Both dogs were produced by a brindle small female, with some Boxer influence which came from Guaxupé, Minas Gerais. Albatroz do ABC, also white with brindle patches, one of the most aggressive Filas ever known was used by Dr. Antenor Lara Campos, from Km 26, Estrada do Eldorado, Ilha do Sabiá Kennel. Mr. Lara Campos told Mr. Enio Monte that his grandfather Joaquim Pizza, had already Filas in 1910 as guardians of his property. His father also had Filas in Fazenda da Garça, originated from Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo. They were strong, wide, with heavy heads, yellow or brindles with a black mask, and some of them had a blaze. Lara Campos started his own kennel in 1940 in the Haras Riachuelo in Cotia, São Paulo, and registered his kennel in 1958 under the name Ilha do Sabiá to where he moved in and had over 100 Filas. His best female was Brahma do ABC. Another very nice champion owned by Marilia Barroso Pentagna was Elo da Boa Sorte, coming out from Orixa II do ABC, having Boróró do ABC and Impala do ABC as his great-grandparents, besides Rubi do ABC and Araribóia at the mothers side. It is ridiculous to say that only Cafib dogs are pure, once they come out from the same old ABC breeding stock. Anyone having a collection of old pedigrees can verify it.
