oh I know that breeder well, lol. he is def. a character. the ones that got replacements from the same breeder are the unlucky ones IMO. I would rather lose my money than to put my family through more of the same heartache. this byb sells sub par dogs for $2500usd!!! and people pay it because he talks a good game and his claim to fame is the "rare black fila". This guy truly is a piece of work and unfortunately his high price means good quality to uneducated consumers. whoever gets a dog out of this kennel is lucky if their dog lives past 1 yr old and blessed if they get papers for their dog. The CAFIB organization does not "advertise, if you want a good quality fila you will do your research and find them (or take the easy way out and listen to someone who has done it already, lol). This breed is full of some of the worst people and breeders in the world most just trying to make a quick buck...once you get "in" you will know the good ones. there are a group or 2 on facebook that are EXCELLENT sources of info but you must be invited in by people who are already members, anyone who is truly interested in the CAFIB Fila you can friend me on FB and put a note to be added to a group. If I do this it is for informational purposes over and not for someone to go in the groups and troll...it is my name being attached to yours....http://www.facebook.com/CariduroFila
