Cao Fila de Sao Miguel

Temperament- constantly wants to play and be around others. Loves interaction with other dogs- he will bark as soon as he sees another dog but as soon as he gets up close all he wants to do is play. Very protective of our home. Unless myself or my husband give the OK for someone to come in he stands his guard and will bark like crazy. We have never seen him to be aggressive to other dogs or animals and he is now 2 years old activity requirements- his energy does not stop. He will not go to bed until we go to bed. He wants to play 24/7. Thank god we have a huge backyard space for him to roam and run around. He is very powerful so full control is needed during walks similar breed size- that of an american pitbull terrier seems to be that closest food consumption- on this page i see food comsumption is marked at 2.5 cups per day and weight is maxed out around 66lbs for males- this could not be further from the truth. Our male eats approximately 4 cups of kibble per day-definately not less- now on a raw diet and about 2 lbs per day of raw food. Our dog is just under 2 years of age and currently weights in at about 80lbs and still has room to gain more weight- according to our vet he should max out around 90lbs. He is a powerhouse but the sweetest most loyal most affectionate powerhouse ever. grooming- We were told he is a low shedder. This is not true at all. He sheds quite a bit. when brushing him good luck trying to get any hair removed! we have went through about 6 different brush types but nothing removes his hair! We do use a shampoo made for deshedding so we do remove hair during bath time but brushing for us has been useless we were worried when we first got him as we heard their breed could be a little aggressive. This is not something we have seen at all. Maybe its the way we interact with him or how we handle him but he just wants love from everyone. Even when he does bark at people or other dogs that bark turns into a cry if he cant get to them because he just wants to play and give/get kisses. we would not trade him for the world!

Best dog ever. We have had 4 dogs. They are great with people,, as a guard dog and herding domestic and wild cattle. Our best friend breeds them and all our friends own at least one.

Warlock is a very loving dog. His strength is supersonic almost as of he were bionic. The muscles in his body are amazing his ability to jump great heights is mesmerizing. He can be overly protective as well as aggressive at times. He isn’t aware of his strength and can be rough at play. I feel blessed to love him. He’s a beautiful dog his illustrious colored fur is lavishly shiny. Bred to rustle cattle shows as he chases wild critters in his back yard galloping as of he were a horse of which he very much resembles as well as a black panther. Warlock, a fine loyal trusting companion. ❤️

This is my first Sao Miguel, they are a very good looking breed and quite healthy. Our pup is about 8 months old and about 60 pounds right now. He's very bright, friendly, loyal and protective. I am very glad we were able to bring this little guys in to our lives. Only negative thing I can say is he likes to dig and eat grass, not really a huge issue in my eyes though. We are definitely hooked on this breed!
