There is not much room for this breed in the modern world
However they do have their niche . Ive gotten many a call where people are looking for dogs to guard them from stalkers and ex hubbies trying to kill them.
I refer them to the Fila.
Oh, please. I'm sitting here, right now, in our furniture store with one of mine at my feet. We've walked all over the downtown area once today and Shiva's ignored people she didn't know and made sure she was between them and me, she's greeted her buddy Bruce the mailman and climbed up on the step in his truck to nudge him to see if he had anything tasty, she stood between me and the train and let me know she didn't want me to walk toward it, and tonight when we go home she will go out into the pasture and check on the cows and make sure there aren't any coyotes skulking about.
And I had the other one, Kharma, here with me the day before yesterday.
There is more room for these magnificent, intelligent creatures than your post would make people believe. They just need to be raised responsibly with love and respect and you must
teach and guide them to be socially adept when they are away from home.
