Wow, how markedly UNimpressive. The first video was the best. After reading the descriptive slides, I was expecting to have my socks knocked off, and then.....a big, spectacular whimper  It was as if someone had put those clips in as a joke on Fila owners. I'm no PP expert by any means and I don't know anything about the breed, but that video was embarrassing.

Comparing the Fila to a Malinois or GSD is really comparing apples to oranges.
The Fila is a defensive breed, a dog with little prey and quite a bit of guard instinct. Nothing we can usefor sports based on choreography and police behavior.
I have a little experience with this breed. They are fine guard dogs, big impressive, and territorial. But, do not confuse that with the definition we use in police work and sports based on police work.
One area I have not seen them work is in tracking? They look so much like hounds I wonder what they can accomplish in that arena?
