Brazil stands out not only for its continental dimensions and multifaceted culture, but also for its enormous natural diversity. From north to south of the Brazilian territory, we find diverse ecosystems that make up a privileged and unique biodiversity. Although this tropical country is usually associated with more exotic species, such as those found in the Amazon rainforest, its soil also produced some dog breeds that are very representative of Brazilian history and culture. Discover eight dog breeds from Brazil in this new video by an animal expert. You'll love them, guaranteed. FILA BRASILEIRO the Fila Brasiliero is a large sized dog with exceptional muscle mass that exhibits a powerful and imposing appearance. Its skin is thick and does not adhere well to its body, giving it the wrinkles and furrows characteristic of this genuinely Brazilian breed. It has a strong personality and a somewhat complex temperament. Within its family nucleus, the Phylas are very affectionate and devoted to their loved ones, also demonstrating remarkable patience. When living with children, however, they tend to be reserved and can be standoffish or distrustful of unknown people and animals. For this reason, this breed needs experienced and patient guardians who have the dedication and skill to educate them positively. We know that the Fila Brasiliero is the result of crosses between native dogs of Brazil and some breeds that were introduced by the Portuguese colonizers, such as the bulldog, the mastiff and the bloodhound. The breed was used as a multifunctional rural worker. It protected the lands of the settlers, herded the flocks and chased slaves who tried to escape. Let's remember that slavery was legal in Brazil until 1888. During this same period, the Phylas were also used to hunt large animals, mainly pumas and other felines. Later, these furry friends were trained as police dogs and have also earned their place among the best guard dogs, being adopted as the preferred pet and protector of many families. Brazilian TERRIER the Brazilian terrier is better known as the Fox Polystinha. In its country of origin, it competes on equal terms with the Fila when it comes to being the most popular Brazilian breed in the world. However, unlike the Fila, the Fox Polystinia is a small to medium sized dog. One of the most notable physical characteristics of this breed is its short, smooth coat, which is so close together and adhere to the dog's body that its skin is visible. This type of very dense and attractive coat is called rat fur. The Brazilian Terrier is a hyperactive, intelligent and curious dog with a very cheerful and perceptive temperament. When properly trained, these furry friends can easily learn a wide range of tasks, tricks and dog sports. Despite being very affectionate and loyal to its family, the fox Polystenia is an independent dog that demonstrates a strong personality and can become stubborn when its owners do not have the adequate experience to train and socialize it from a young age. Experts claim that the fox Palo Istinha was born from crosses between native Brazilian dogs and fox terriers and Jack Russell terriers that arrived on the Brazilian coast on Portuguese and Dutch ships. It is said that the colonizers used to travel with small terriers to prevent the proliferation of rats on their ships. However, it is believed that the appearance and behavior of the current Brazilian terrier could have been influenced by some later crosses with pinschers and Chihuahuas. Before being adopted as the favorite pet of many families, this dog was used for hunting mainly small rodents as well as as a guard dog. Bulldog Campero this breed was born during the 19th century in the southern region of Brazil from crosses between the English bulldog and the buller. As can be expected, it is a medium sized sporing dog with exceptional muscles and a great vocation for work despite never having crossed borders. The country bulldog, also known as bordoa, was very popular in Brazil until the 1970s. Initially, these dogs were used to guard and control cattle in the southern region of Brazil, mainly in the states of Rio Grande Sol and Santa Catarina. Due to their strength, endurance, speed and predisposition to work, they were taken to the central region of the country where they were often used to slaughter pigs and other animals created for human consumption. Brazilian Tracker the Brazilian tracker was declared extinct in 1973 by both the FCI and the CBKC. The increasing use of pesticides on rural plantations, coupled with the emergence of some diseases, practically eradicated the entire population of Brazilian trackers during the 1970s. The Brazilian tracker, also known as the American Heridor, was a stenhound type hunting dog. Currently, some Brazilian kennels are trying to recreate the original breed, but they have not yet had significant success. Mountain Bulldog the history of the mountain Bulldog is often mixed up and confused with that of the country bulldog. The Brazilian Confederation of Kennels states that both breeds have actually always existed, but their physical similarities and the fact that they shared some ancestors caused some confusion. The first mountain bulldogs emerged from crosses between native dogs from southern Brazil with some specimens of English bulldogs and all English bulldogs which accompanied the first European immigrants who settled in the southern region of Brazil. However, it is believed that the current appearance and behavior of the mountain Bulldog has also been determined by some crosses with the Spanish Alano and with the Fila de Tercera, A breed of Portuguese origin that has also become extinct. Historically, the mountain bulldog has been used to protect the productive fields of southern Brazil and to herd cattle. Currently, the breed is recognized by the Brazilian Sinological Confederation, but not by international canine societies. Dogo do Brasil the dog Brasileiro, or Brazilian Mastiff, originated from a cross between a male bull terrier and a female boxer. Initially, the breeder named the breed Bullboxer as a tribute to its parents. During the 20th century, the Brazilian Mastiff was recognized by the Brazilian Canine Federation. Currently, the breed is getting closer to being recognized by the fci with only eight homogeneous lineages that do not share parents, grandparents or great grandparents and that have originated from at least two males and six females still to be proven. Gausso Sheepdog of Brazil the Gausso Sheepdog is one of the dog breeds from Brazil that has been registered by the Brazilian Canine Federation but is still awaiting recognition from international canine societies. It is a medium sized sport dog with great intelligence, remarkable agility and an active, alert and very loyal temperament. At first glance, we can recognize their similarities to border collie dogs, but it is not yet known how many breeds were involved in the birth of the Gausso shepherd. Like all sheepdogs, this breed has been used mainly to herd livestock and protect the lands of its guardians. The Bedero Pampa Videros Pampas are medium sized dogs with a rectangular body and a rustic appearance. As a good hunting dog, they have very sharp senses and are always alert to stimuli in their environment. Their temperament is balanced and obedient, which makes them easy to train within their family unit. Bead Arrows are extremely loyal to their guardians and are very patient with children. However, they can be distrustful or unfriendly in the presence of strangers. For this reason, this is a breed that requires special attention in its early socialization. According to the Brazilian Confederation of Canine Medicine, Bidaros were already present in the southern region of Brazil since the 19th century. But the breed has not yet gained recognition from the fci. And that's it for today's video.
