[quote=lotsofdogs2]Rome, Chances are if you were going to have one that was a "10" on the ojerza scale like mine, you would already know. Most filas today tend to range in the 5 to 6 scale. Having one that is a 10 is such a huge responsibility and liability that those dogs are only for very few people. I loved mine alot but deep down I wished that he was a little less defensive. On the flip side of that he was also extremely submissive and patient with my small child. So I guess that was a fair trade. Jen[/quote]

i notice that too hes so submissive with everyone in the house inlcuding the 2 chihuhuas lol (2 girls) , if u dont mind whats the diffeence in 5/6 than with a 10? if you could give examples that would be great all ive heard is stories but no one explained they were stages ive heard of them but would like to hear from owners the differences in ojerza, im assuming a person walking by or pettin him at 10 is not gonna happen but what about 8? 7? etc, thx again for the help
