A very important difference between the Fila Brasileiro and the Pyredoodle is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Fila Brasileiro is a giant-sized dog while the Pyredoodle is a large-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Fila Brasileiro belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families.

Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
