    Celebrity's dog kills his assistant( mention of Fila)

    I can not believe that any Fila of half decent breeding could hurt its family. I have however seen my female bite and pull by its legs one of our dogs that was killed in a road accident. A tragic accident which saw my house keeper leave the gate open for 30 seconds and my little street dog ran...

    Does your dog like to sunbathe?

    My guys do it and I have been told it is good for their coat and is also an instinctive / natural way of helping against parasites - fleas ticks etc.

    Fila Owners (questions, what else?)

    Sorry but I have to agree with the above statement while at the same time recognising that there are a number of experienced Fila owners and handlers contributing here. What I will suggest is that it sounds very much like some of the North American lines have been bred for a softer temperament...

    breaking up dog fights

    Excellant advice and I urge everyone to read it carefully and take heed. There is nothing more horrific than seeing dogs in the heat of a vicious fight and you WILL get bitten if you intervene by grabbing collars etc and when you do get bitten it will be nasty. Two people are needed in my...

    dookie got parvo

    Looking good! I have been through this with my Lennox, hydration and hugs together with the meds did the trick. Chicken broth also helped us here after ice chips and then some plain rice with gravy. The turning point for me was when he finally acknowledged I was near him by giving me a half...

    When does your dog listen to the tv?

    Tv My Lennox doesnt take any notice of the TV whatsoever but Leica responds to gunshots, females screaming and most of all a child crying which, without fail, results in her running off to find my daughter wherever she may be. Got to love it really!
