Comment to 'Fila x Neo puppies'
  • Well, ok, sorry that took so darn long...We took some photos outside playing today of the three that we're keeping, yes, we decided three... Two males and one female: Zeus, Hera, and Hercules...we decided to keep Hercules, as he is out of all the pups, the most fila"ish" in his manners...He does not care for strangers, especially if they run up to him, he actually stands his ground, growls, barks, and snaps at them if they don't back off after his warnings. He is very loving with us, the family, but it takes him a good twenty to thirty minutes before he'll accept a new person approaching him and putting their hand down for him to smell, he really doesn't want anything to do with them. The others are leary of strangers at first and bark and growl, but within minutes of seeing us with them and that we approve of them they are coming up to them and licking them, and befriending them easily... The other pups that are in their new homes are doing well to date, I haven't gotten any pictures of them yet, but I do talk to their owners(my friends) regularly, and they are all very pleased with their pups. I have stopped and seen two of them and they met me with ease, I'm sure it's because they know me, it hasn't been that long since I've seen them, lol! I do have to say these guys are so smart and willing to please yet, they really took after the fila in that manner! I am still to date, more than impressed with them, although I realize that things may and probably will change a bit after they reach maturity...I just hope they don't get that stubborn streak their father, the Neo, has, lol! Right now, they listen so good, and walk easily on leashes, and are real big pleasers...They are very pleasant to be around... They are 19" at the shoulders, and average 50 to 60 lbs. On to the pics... Zeus running down the driveway...He's such a lug, and looks the most Neo"ish" out of them all... My 11 yr. old son Davidson with Hera... Davidson with Zeus... Hercules...Don't feel bad that he's not getting snuggled he was chewing on horse poo, just before this pic, LOL! Playing in the snow! Looks like, "OMG, don't bite my butt!" Here's Hercules's snuggle pic, LOL!
