The absence of a Fila Brasileiro club in Australia may be attributed to several factors, including regulatory restrictions, low breed population, and unique breed characteristics. The Fila Brasileiro, known for its natural guarding instincts and strong protective nature, is classified as a restricted or banned breed in several regions globally due to concerns about temperament and safety. Australian import regulations, particularly through breed-specific legislation (BSL), either limit or prohibit the importation of certain breeds deemed potentially aggressive or high-risk, including the Fila Brasileiro. As a result, very few, if any, of these dogs are present in the country, making it challenging to form a breed club.
