Are Fila Brasileiros friendly?

Yes, Fila Brasileiros are often quite friendly with their family members and people they trust. However, these big pups are typically wary, suspicious of, and sometimes defensive or territorial around people and pets they don’t know. 

If you hope to raise a Fila Brasileiro who can comfortably and safely navigate public spaces and accept new people and pets into their home, early, consistent, and extremely thorough socialization is crucial.
