A Guide to Different Types of Mastiffs: How to Choose the Right Breed for Your FamilyThis Brazilian Mastiff is mixed with Bloodhound, making it a beautiful, wrinkly dog. The Fila is loving and loyal, but can be protective to a fault. Dog Breed Info says, "You cannot socialize a Fila to like people. You can obedience train them so that you are in control, but you cannot socialize them to like people. A Fila WILL attack a stranger. Period." Breeders are working on mellowing this breed. The Anatolian is described as "slender and agile... capable of great speed and endurance." They are 28-30" tall and weigh only 100-150 lbs. This breed needs extra socialization and a gentle and patient trainer. They are intelligent, but also quite stubborn and independent.
