| Overview: | The Campeiro Bulldog was traditionally used in Brazil as a catch dog, catching and holding cattle, often in slaughterhouses. In the 1970s the use of such dogs was banned in Brazilian slaughterhouses and the breed's number declined to the point of extinction, this was further exacerbated by the increased popularity of imported dog breeds. In the mid-1970s a private breeding program was commenced to save the breed and numbers have gradually recovered, the breed was recognised by the Confederação Brasileira de Cinofilia in 2001 |

| Character: | Campeiro Bulldog stands out for its loyalty to its owner, tenacity, and courage.

Beyond that, it is suspicious of strangers and won’t bark without a good reason. |
| Temperament: | Its submissive nature is a real benefit for its owner, who won’t have too many temperament problems if there is a clear hierarchy in the dog-master relationship. The Brazilian Bulldog is obstinate to cross any hurdle while being controlled enough to show a high degree of obedience to the commands of its master. |
