Description
I am Cassio Caturegli, breeder of the exceptional Fila Brasileiro . My kennel is located in a small coastal town called Yelapa, near Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco in Mexico. Here we are surrounded by the Sierra Madre mountains and a thick tropical jungle. In these surroundings my 10 Fila Brasileiros thrive in their natural environment as they did in the large fazendas in Brazil.
Everyday I take my 10 Fila Brasileiros to work. I ride up on mules through trails in the mountains ( Cerro del Huinduri - a small ocelot-) from 1 to 3 hours away, looking for wood to construct thatch houses. At least twice a week we also go herding for cows. This activity is their preferred one, since instinctively the Fila Brasileiro will chase a cow that has strayed from the herd and bring it back. In case the cow does not come back, they'll chase and jump up to the cows ear and wrestle it down to the ground until someone arrives with a lasso. We also go hunting for dear and badgers; their excellent sense of smell tracks the game; and in the case of the badger the dog will force it to climb a tree. A couple times they've been confronted by the badger and killed it.
I keep my dogs loose inside my property, which is only fenced by barbed wire. Although they can get out they don't. They know their territory and respect the people that pass by on the trail. They will bark but won't go out. When someone wants to enter they'll bark more intensely and this tells me someone wants to come in. All I do is tell the dog that its "OK", and he or she or all will inspect the person and even accompany them to where I am.
