A typical Fila Brasileiro is a great family companion security dog, however, this a very powerful breed that is not for everybody. It requires experienced handlers only. Filas are excellent guard dogs but the problem is that they have been bred traditionally to protect and guard lives and property. Therefore, Filas are very wary of strangers, aloof, and somewhat antisocial.

Well-bred Dobermans are excellent companion security dogs too, although this breed has been so widely over bred that is hard to find a typical Dobie bred up to desired standards. Unfortunetely, you find that many Dobermans are too sharp and may react with unwanted aggression.

The whole key to it, is to get well-bred dogs, or else you may find yourself in trouble with any of these two breeds.
