For 24 years Carioca has ranked among the top breeders of the Fila, emphasizing health, temperament, and proper physical structure. We have made many visits to Brasil, to study and bring back new bloodlines. Our goal is breeding Fila's that will provide companionship and protection to their families. It is most important to us that our Fila's have loving, responsible homes, and new owners have healthy, quality pets.
Our 9 fila's live with us on our organic farm in North Carolina. Here they enjoy an active lifestyle: working livestock, excercising on 36 acres of woods and fields, and protecting our home. The Fila Brasileiro is unique among dogs due to the extremely protective temperament that is natural to the breed. They trust and accept no one but the family. Among those they consider their own, Fila's are affectionate, loyal, and obedient. They will guard their loved ones from any threat-instinctively and without training.
The Fila's of Carioca follow the traditional Brazilian standard in looks and attitude. We were the earliest sponsors of CAFIB in the US, and our Fila Brasileiro's have been awarded multiple Best in Show and Best Temperament by Brazil's top Fila judges.
