The Fila Brasileiro is a large Brazilian dog. Outstanding courage, determination, and bravery are part of his characteristics. He is docile and obedient to his owners and family and extremely tolerant with children. His faithfulness became a Brazilian proverb. Brazilians say,"Faithful as a Fila". He is always looking for the company of his master. One of his characteristics is his "OJERIZA" toward strangers. He shows a calm disposition, self-assurance, and self-confidence, not being disturbed by strange noises nor when facing a new environment. An unsurpassed guardian of property, he is also inclined, by instinct, to hunt big game and to herd cattle.
