It is a strong, athletic dog of medium height and heavy build.\n\nIt was recognised by the Brazilian kennel club in 2001 and by the FCI in 2025. It needs an experienced owner who can manage a powerful dog that can be aggressive toward other dogs.","history":"In Brazil the Campeiro Bulldog worked as a catch dog, seizing and holding cattle, often in slaughterhouses. When this practice was banned in the 1970s, and as imported breeds grew popular, the breed declined almost to extinction.\n\nA private breeding programme began in the mid-1970s and numbers slowly recovered. The Confederação Brasileira de Cinofilia recognised the breed in 2001 and the FCI followed in 2025.","appearance":"Campeiro Bulldogs stand about 48 to 56 cm tall, males being taller than females. Adult males weigh roughly 36 to 42 kg and females 31 to 37 kg, giving a muscular, solid dog.\n\nThe coat is short and smooth, and any colour is accepted except merle.","personality":"Bred to hold large, strong animals, the Campeiro is brave, determined and physically powerful. It is generally devoted to its family but is known to be aggressive toward other dogs.\n\nIt needs confident, consistent leadership and early socialisation, and should be supervised around other animals.","care":"This breed needs regular, purposeful exercise and mental work to stay balanced. Secure fencing and careful handling on walks are important because of its strength and its attitude to other dogs.\n\nThe short coat is easy to care for, needing only occasional brushing."},"recognition":{"fci_number":null,"fci_standard_url":null,"akc_url":null},"sources":{"wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campeiro_Bulldog","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q38509","wikipedia_revision":1365967562},"profile":{"written_by":"AI model (Claude Sonnet) from the sources above","written_at":"2026-10-15T13:59:38Z"}}}
