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 Cesky Terrier
Compact Czech hunting and family terrier with a sturdy, low body and long, silky clipped coat. Calm yet playful, typically good with children and dogs when well socialised. Intelligent and sensitive, needs regular exercise, training, and grooming. Still relatively rare outside its homeland.
