A little about Brazillian Mastiffs

The Brazillian Mastiff (also known as the Fila Brasileiro) was bred as a working cattle and guard dog in Brazil. Prized for its natural aggressive tendencies, the breed is banned in Australia in most states and has a high prey drive making it more likely to chase smaller animals or children.
