Comment to 'question about socialization with a fila'
  •  

    The end of the line is that we KNOW what these dogs are capable of, we know precautions need to be taken and she WILL bite some shithead sooner or later, we know and that is fine, but WE, living in a small town, are responsible for her behavior in the long run!

     And that is what responsible dog ownership is all about.  Know your dog, and its behavior and take the necessary actions to give it a good life and a safe place to live.  Owning a Fila is a huge responsibility and something not to be taken lightly. I am happy to see that you understand this and is doing the right thing -- even in doing the right things you are aware of her potential and when the Ojeriza kicks in - all bets are off.  Good luck with her. She is a nice looking Fila.
