History of the Brazilian Campeiro Bulldog breed
Origin: Brazil
This is a Brazilian breed that was traditionally used for catching and keeping livestock, particularly in slaughterhouses. After the banning of such dogs in Brazilian slaughterhouses in the 1970s and the popularity of imported breeds, the number of the breed fell sharply. A private breeding program began in the mid-1970s and the population gradually recovered. The Brazilian Kennel Confederation recognized the breed in 2001, and the FCI in 2025.
The Brazilian Campeiro Bulldog is a strong short-haired bulldog for working with livestock. Brave and hardy, but known for intolerance of other dogs. Requires an experienced owner, early socialization and secure fencing.
