The Fila Brasileiro is still considered a rare breed in the United States. Purebred puppies can be registered in any country affiliated with the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale). Philo is registered with the FCPR (Federacion Canofila de Puerto Rico). Other Fila owners in the U.S. choose to register their dogs with the CBKC (Confederação Brasileira de Cinofilia) in Brazil or the FCM (Federación Canófila Mexicana) in Mexico.
