| We proudly promote true Fila Brasileiros. We all know our breed comes from basically Bloodhound, Bulldog and Mastiff, but our breed is Fila Brasileiro, not fila mastiff. Lets just keep them being who they were originally meant to be. Protective, athletic and agile. Capable to work, track, hunt, heard and most importantly, loving you and your family, which is his family. It's often overlooked just how much the Fila Brasileiro thrives on love and affection and how patient and loving they are with children. They're our big lap dogs and make perfect companions. FILA BRASILEIRO!!! Superior breed, in a totally different class. |

| The Cafib Controversy Ninth Commandment - by Clelia Kruel |


![]() |

| The Controversy Behind the Fila Brasileiro The history and origin of the Fila is a strongly debated topic. Unfortunately that’s what happens when the truth takes a backseat to the special interests of a particular group. Spearheaded by Mr Paulo Santos Cruz, this small group of dissidents called "CAFIB" has been exposed multiple times, most recently by a very prominent authority in the Fila world, The President of The Sociedade Paulista do Fila Brasileiro Mr Virgílio De Martella Orsi of São Paulo, Brazil. You can read his new article called "The Natural Selection" in which he discusses and recalls his first-hand knowledge and experience of the history that he was personally involved in. You can rest assured that what you'll read here is nothing but the truth. I've been given the privilege by the man himself to translate and publish his work in order to help spread this information in the United States. In order to help the American people understand that to the real authorities in the Fila world, CAFIB is practically non-existent. We're in the process of translating some of these works so check back often to read any new information. |

| Cafib Controversy: Fila Friends, I've been saying this several times in many Fila communities and forums for many years. But these "Cafib Followers" cannot stop posting unfounded statements and lies. Specifically, but not limited to the authenticity of the Black Fila Brasileiro. This is a link to the true history of the Black Fila, with facts and literature. The latest statement from these people was so outrageous that I felt the need to publicly clarify. There is only ONE official entity, and it's called CBKC (Confederación Brasilera de Cinofilia) or (The Brazilian Canine Confederation). They are the only ones that are officially recognized to have established the Breed Standard of the Fila Brasileiro. These "Cafib People" are claiming that the original or old standard does not recognize the Black Fila. Please do not let these people confuse you. There is only ONE Standard, and again it was created by the CBKC and it definitely accepts the Black Fila as far as color goes. Please do your research and get the facts from reputable sources. These Cafib people were EXPELLED from the CBKC, and since then in the 1970's have been seen as nothing more than dissidents. This group is motivated by their own financial interests. |
| It's very unfortunate that I find myself having to make this statement, but I believe that if a stand isn't made now, then this issue will snowball and become much larger than it has already is. True Fila Brasileiros are losing ground in the show rings. Newcomers are coming into the Fila world confused at these "alternate standards", and many don't realize that there is only ONE Official Standard, and that is the CBKC Standard. I've taken the time to respectfully write a Formal Complaint to the FBA with regards the infiltration of CAFIB influence at one of their shows. This kind of thing has been happening quite often lately in many different venues and clubs. Please take a moment of your time to read about this incident, and please pass the story along to your own Fila Friends. Do your part!

| F.B.A. Specialty Show Results: We're extremely proud to announce that Marley won "Best of Breed/ Best in Show" and he also blew EVERYONE out of the water during his Temperament Test. He completely aced it with flying colors and we'll be posting the certificate as soon as we receive it. We're also proud to announce that both our Male pup out of Edu Pedro & Osiris and our Female pup out of Edu Pedro & Victoria earned themselves "Best Puppy" in their own respective shows. I would also like to let it be known that there was some controversy at this show. This controversy should IN NO WAY reflect upon the F.B.A. itself. We are extremely proud to be involved with the FBA and the work that they have done for our breed. I am currently in the process of contacting the Board of Directors with some of my concerns and I will be posting more information as soon as I can. I fully support the ONLY OFFICIAL Fila Brasileiro Standard, set by the CBKC and FCI. |
