A Fila crossed with a Presa Canario is not a mix I would want. A Fila was bred to disarm, a Presa to catch and hold (they are often still used as catch dogs in some areas). A Fila is the most dog friendly of mastiffs, a Presa is often at least same-sex aggressive, if not completely DA. Both have quite a guarding instinct. I would be worried about how these characteristics would mix. 0_o (Dogos are also used as catch dogs and also have a DA streak).

I would be interested to see pics of momma dog whenever you could get them.

One of the meanings of "Fila" in Portuguese, is "to hold."

because dogos are hunted in packs DA is heavily culled in argentina and anywhere they are kept primarily for hunting. in places where hunting is not an option & where kept primarily for pet & show DA is more tolerated & even bred from. this is why some very good breeders of working dogos won't sell to nonhunting homes.

A Presa Canario doesn't quite have the Fila's "finesse" though.

finesse is for terriers & sighthounds that have to get their game by the throat w/o getting too torn up themselves. for bull & mastiff breeds it's pretty much raw power on impact & endurance in the hold.
