The basics:
The Buldogue Campeiro evolved from the ancient English Bulldogs brought to Brazil by European immigrants in the sixteenth century for jobs like herding and "finding" cattle, which sounds suspiciously like cattle-rustling to the modern reader. As a result, the Brazilian Bulldog needed to be tough, muscular, and capable of cooperating with other Bulldogs working in a pack. They have a powerful guardian instinct and should only be owned by responsible people who know how to socialize and manage protector breeds.

Little known outside its home country, the Brazilian Bulldog is recognized by the Confederação Brasileira de Cinofilia (CBKC).
