The Cão Fila de São Miguel is an FCI recognized breed of dog from the Azores , Portugal ( FCI Group 2, Section 2.1, Standard No. 340 ).
Origin and history
The Cão Fila de São Miguel comes from the main island of the Azores , Sao Miguel . His ancestors probably also include the Spanish Alano . Due to the relative isolation, the narrow space of an island and the climatic conditions, a uniform dog type developed . In 1995 it was provisionally recognized by the FCI.
