Geez, that's all we need. Another "bad @#@$" breed being a flavour of the month for macho punks who have no clue about dogs let alone a large difficult and soon to be overbred dog like fila.
I would never consider fila for myself for the the reasons mentioned already by others. Another mistake I think some people make is that they think that they are getting a "friendly giant" and just by looking at the dog they look very friendly. I would rather prefer a dog that has a tougher look (to deter thieves) but is easier to handle.
The dog that I would consider for myself would be french mastiff. It seems to me that well bred french mastiffs are still fairly easy to find in North America. Just talked ot one of the breeders and apparently there are only 50 breeders in North America and one puppy mill in Quebec. Judging by the breed description well bred french mastiff would fit my personality very well, and since many other breeds are so overbread and good dogs from good breeders are very hard to find, perhaps one day in the future I will get a non rescue non rottie.
