The Fila Brasileiro, or Brazilian Mastiff, is a large, powerful breed known for its loyalty and protective instincts. Originating in Brazil, this dog was historically used for guarding and herding. With a strong build and a calm demeanor, the Fila is affectionate towards its family but can be wary of strangers. It requires experienced handling, consistent training, and ample space to thrive as a devoted companion and watchdog.

More than half of Floridians are pet owners, and 40 percent of them have at least one dog in the family. If you live on an acre of land in the state of Florida, you can own up to four dogs. The most popular breed in this state is the German Shepherd, followed closely by the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever. The most popular dog breed in the city of Orlando is none of those, however, but the French Bulldog! For coast-dwelling Floridian dog owners, there’s the added joy of the dog-friendly beaches on either side (and the bottom) of the panhandle.
