Brief historical summary

The Bulldog Campeiro has its origins in the Bulldogs that came to Brazil with European immigrants in the 17th century. They were used to capture wild cattle in hostile environments.

General appearance

Bulldogs have a powerful, broad constitution, demonstrating strength and agility. The Bulldog Campeiro is an extremely hardy dog, with no health problems in common with the English Bulldog. The English Bulldog and the Bulldog Campeiro are two breeds with distinct functions. The English has a wonderful appearance and is a social dog. The Campeiro is a guard and working dog.

Behaviour / temperament

The Campeiro is an extremely versatile dog, with excellent guarding and fighting qualities. It is extremely loyal to its owner and follows him like a shadow, appreciating the people who are part of its daily life and being very courageous. He's easy to adapt to, barks little, is calm, wary and jealous. He's very friendly with children (we've never seen a Bulldog Campeiro bite a child).
