UPDATE: Well, here's the boys almost one year later. Zeus and Hercules. They both are very active guards. Out of the pups, these two maintained the closest to the fila temperment with the exception, that they do tolerate new people a lot better while being told to, and after a time will make "friends" with people and they learn to trust them, unfortunately if the new person shows any fear or "aggression in their eyes" at any time in the first couple of meetings they are quick to go on the defensive. They do not forget that person, and do not forgive the person's leary ways. If the person comes to the house again they watch them very closely, to see if they falter in any way and do not show any real trust in that person ever again. They are very smart and still so willing to please, they learn very quickly and with simple little psts at them, and they come right to us and sit or lay down as if they are applogizing. They are about 120 and 130lbs. and I didn't take a measurement at their shoulder for awhile but guessing I'd say 24 to 25" at the shoulder. Zues is the one with the white chest and feet, he's a lot more broad, Herc doesn't have much white at all, and is a bit leaner than his brother. They are big babies with the family, our other pets, and even new people as long as we are there letting them know that the new person is "ok", they will even roll over and give them their bellies to be rubbed, but do not tolerate any new person if we are not present. I've noticed that at dusk and night time they are even more leary and goosey, any small noise or movement sends them on the defensive, they will grab first and ask questions later, even more so when they are out with their dad as he seems to give them more reinforcement. So everyone has to let them know who they are in advance, as to just popping out of nowhere and saying boo, lol, that does not go over well at night time at all!! In the day time they are much more relaxed and do not even act as if they'd grab anyone, in fact they will try everything to detour a person to leave instead of a standing confrontation, they will bark, growl, and circle, to warn people but at dusk or after they go straight for whatever the perceived threat is, no hesitation. The other pups are all doing well, are good gaurds, but not so much like these guys, they do their gaurding while the people are away or at night, but otherwise are ok with everyone. Everyone is still very happy with their dogs and love them.
