filachick Just a advice... A classic Fila is a breed for professionals they could be pleasant, nice with kids around, all good things you can imagine... The cross with Neo could track some genes from 100 years ago, some genes that could not be nice/fit in our modern days (working) and those genes could probably just will appear in adult age only. That means explain the possibilities to all new puppies owners. In the other hand...the cross NEO x Filas could be a opportunity for whom need to beguin a Bandog Program using it to cross with a good strain of APBT, adding: tenacity, agility, stamina ; and reducing the overall size.
