Filas don't sell for $500. Take your time and get a good one from healthy parents.
joe, post up your dad's fila's photo so we can see this dog. seriously if he isnt breed worthy, no matter how much you love the dog you are better off not breeding him. But post him up, he might be a lil sleeper cell and be a great quality fog, ya never know. How is his temp?
I'd really like to pass my dads Fila's lineage down. He's a very intelligent, loving, just unique animal. Part of the family really. I'm a dog lover anyway, but this breed is quite special.
what is the lineage? or do you mean more of sentimental aspect of having his specific offspring?
What you describe is typical to filas so you could get another great dog without the headache of having to get a second dog and then deal with potentially upwards of 15 puppies (especially with the characteristics that not just anyone should own due to their living situations and the typical temperament of filas). so if you were going to keep one pup you would for a while then have 3 dogs at minimum.
"Second of all I am not making any claim that my dog, Buford, is a Fila. Buford came from an Amish farm located near my home and was placed up for adoption by the Amish owners, along with his brothers and sisters because the nieghbors bloodhound got their English mastif. Buford was 8 weeks old when my wife brought him home and gave him to me as a "retirement gift", my having retired earlier that year."
If this is a real poster asking a real question........PLEASE DO NOT BREED THAT DOG TO A FILA
Breeding a mastiff and bloodhound does not produce a Fila. The exact breeds that made up the Fila is unknown. Please do not breed that dog to a Fila. Filas bred to non Filas can be dangerous dogs even to their own family.

My father has a legitimate Fila Brasileiro.
