bird 9,969 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Filas, are on the DDA , with dogo,tosa, apbt , obviously there few pits still over here ,regards dogo seen one few years back but it looked just like a abd, and seen what supposed to be a tosa at a small holding few years back , and it looked like a x dane lol.But never seen Fila over here, reading the other day about the DDA and how they made changes to it, but out of all the banned breeds the fila was the only breed bred to be aggressive to man, the others wild animals or other dogs.I can understand the fila been banned as they bred to show aggression to people , they look like mastiff x bloodhound , deff not a dog to upset lol. But I don't think they were ever here in the 1st place, so carnt understand banning something that's not ever been here .!! . suppose if you want a guard dog breed , get a well bred gsd at least you can control them, and there proven and easier to obtain in this country and there not banned .

I think you're right, a better dog all round for the job, but not fashionable or has any 'status' these days......I came across a cane corso's one day when I pulled into the wrong driveway......fcuk! I didn't even feel safe in the car....haha... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Breeds like this & other x's you see about, will be causing a lot more problems in the future than anything currently on the dangerous dogs list..... why? Have you seen many of those dogs on the list about? Apart from bulldogs.... On the other hand there are more of these mastiff type imports going into the uk, wasn't the old boy that got killed a while back a victim of a corso x ?.......sure it was owned by idiots, but that's hardly surprising..... I just think statistically it's more likely, as these dogs become more fashionable & I think few people are capable enough to be suitable owners.....but that's not to say there aren't any....

I have done some work with Bordeaux, bullmastiffs and Neapolitans, and I agree most are physically badly constructed and mentally rather weak, bar one Bordeaux which was a decent beast. However the one corso which I had some dealings with was physically very good, didn't have the rear end weakness common with many of the other mastiffs or the poor, upright hock which limits movement. Was also a bright, keen dog . Have only seen one presa and that seemed alert and eager, and was very well constructed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was also a bright, keen dog . Have only seen one presa and that seemed alert and eager, and was very well constructed you ever seen any fila's in your travels , only one mastiff type I like are the Alano , they are fit/healthy dogs still bred for work, and not ruined by show people as yet . most big mastiff types are very un-sound dog, with bad hips HD and not long lived, I had bullmastiffs in the 80s and they were getting in to a bad way with health probs, so came out the breed . But the Alano breed is what the old bullmastiff was like in the 19 30-50s fit agile dogs with plenty of grit about them , not like poor specimen's of today . how do you rate the Alano compared to the other breeds , that's if you had any dealing with them .?
