Tracking and sniffing is the Brazilian mastiff's job, the gentle giants are a cross between a mastiff and a bloodhound. Giving them their full title of Fila Brasilerio they originate from Brazil and were introduced to the United States of America by the Conquistadors. In the early years of the breed its main purpose was to guard plantations.
the colouring of the large dogs can vary from tan to black, also brindled dogs been desirable. These friendly giants can reach up to weights over 100 pounds and be 2 feet to the shoulder, the neck and face have characteristics of the bloodhound.
the Brazilian mastiff is gentle as all mastiffs can be, Very loyal and can be aggressive when required, very suitable for guard dog material. They are renowned for been good with kids and do make a loveable family member.
hunting comes natural to the Brazilian mastiff because of their bloodhound instincts, the purpose of the mastiff in the hunt is to mainly track the hunted animal , and after capture to hold the animail with causing no damage. Their real name starting with fila means to hold in Portuguese.
protective and loyal are only part of the traits of this breed of mastiff, they are in general a much healthier dog benefiting from been more active and not been prone to been over weight.
One of the downside traits of the mastiff is their dislike for strangers, they have been known to attack for no reason, so be warned if you have a tradesman coming to the house make sure your protective giant is out of the way.
The way to a Brazilian mastiff's heart is food and love, feed them and spend quality time with your dogs and the will repay you with loyalty and be protective till the end, they have even been known to be slightly aggressive to judges in dog shows.
if you are purchasing a Brazilian mastiff puppy then make sure you do research into the steps to take to prepare yourself for the arrival of a small giant into you house, ask question to the right people if you are not sure of anything and make sure the breeder can give references upon request. - 20511
