Summary
About Fila Brasileiro
Large Brazilian mastiff bred for guarding and big‑game hunting. Massive, agile, with loose skin and short coat. Deeply loyal and gentle with family but wary of strangers. Needs experienced, confident handling, careful socialisation, space, and steady, structured training.
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
