This is a new series focusing on the many daycare dogs that come through our doors, from the unusual breeds to those that we all know and love. This is a chance to meet our dogs one by one, and maybe learn a little something along the way. Kicking off the series is Miss Kitty, a Fila Brasiliero, or Brazilian Mastiff. She is the largest dog that we have at Pet U, and she’s only 1 year old!
The Fila is a natural guard dog, and will make an extremely loyal and loving member of your family. With that said, they need an experienced owner who is able to assert himself as the pack leader. They stand between 23.5 and 29.5 inches at the shoulder, and weigh 110 - 160 pounds, with females being slightly smaller than the males. As a puppy they require lots of socialization, but even then they will still be wary around strangers. This is NOT a dog for the average owner; as they require lots of skill and hard work to be raised properly!
Miss Kitty has won over all of our hearts, and luckily we’ve won over hers as well. She has a blast whenever she’s her for boarding! She’s very playful, but then runs out of steam after just a few hours. She loves to take long naps, and to cuddle up whenever possible. Once in a while she gets a burst of energy and leads all of the other dogs on a massive game of chase through the back yard. It’s fun to watch her in an all-out sprint!
