Differences between a Co and a Fila?
I'll take a stab at this. I would say that yes, a co and a fila can co-exist peacefully if raised together from a young age, or if both dogs are trained enough with an owner who is experienced enough to introduce them properly. If you live in the Bahamas, i would say opt for the fila. They were bred and created in a tropical environment, for a tropical environment, to thrive in a tropical environment.
I'm sorry that i can not give you an accurate pro/con discussion on their differences, as i don't have enough experience with the fila to do this. Plus, I'm biased towards the Kavkas Volkodav. Maybe someone else will see this and answer.
I hope i was helpful in some way.

I have two questions. 1) The Co and Fila seem to be very similar to me. Very strong will, very protective of their master/family, not trusting of strangers and so on. What are the differnces of the two breeds? 2) Can a Co and fila (that meets the proper breed standars/temperment) live together? Can you please elaborate. Thank you. Bahamian

Did I ask something that is TABOO or something?! Do you all think I'm asking a dumb/stupid question? Are these the reasons why I can not get at least one person to answere me?!

[quote=crnosrce1] Plus, I'm biased towards the Kavkas Volkodav. [/quote] Ah, but he didn't ask about a KV. He asked about a CO in [url=http://www.molosserdogs.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=10866&highlight=#10866][u]THIS THREAD[/u][/url] and a Fila. :wink: Also, I agree with the first paragraph of your reply that it's very possible for these two breed to live together depending on their upbringing. A male/female combination would probably work best.

I would think that a female and male would work for most types. However, you may want to get one or both fixed unless you want a, what would it be, FILA Ovcharka, Caucasian Brasileiro - hey is kind of a cool name.

Kris.. I know, you're right. I should have talked about the Caucasian Ovtcharka, seeing as thats what he asked about, and also being that they and the Kavkas volkodav are now 2 very separate and different things. Sorry bahamian. Mike

Thanks for the replies, "IF" I was to have both breeds I can assure you that they would be fixed. The only thing I despise more than a mutt/mixed breed is pork. But I asked this qustion because I am definitely getting a Co/ Co's some day for my yard. However, for my purposes, the fila seems to also be up my alley. Thanks again. Bahamian

Best of luck to you.

bahamian...i so happen own both breeds and am 18yrs plus into the fila brasileiro breed and now owning my 1st co...there is a great deal of similarity yet difference...by no means am i a co expert but nontheless im exceptionally experienced which the co was my 1st candidate to live with but oppostions lead me astray and i chose the fila and never have i regretted this choice...now a co is in my life its a pup/dog consider all options which best suit ur purpose...regardless to breed standard a dog is a dog is a dog and tho these 2(two) breeds are unlike any other i ever have experienced beware what u read and i warn/caution u of trusting...individuality being the key :wink: im willing to assist/guide u as much as i can with rational discretion...by no means am i a know-it-all but my education alongside hands-on-experience is grattifying leaving allll options open for growth...feel free connect with me... 8)
