The Campeiro Bulldog ({{langx|pt|Buldogue campeiro}}, {{IPA|pt|buwˈdɔɡ kãˈpejɾu}}) is a breed of bulldog from Brazil.
Overview
The Campeiro Bulldog was traditionally used in Brazil as a catch dog, catching and holding cattle, often in slaughterhouses.{{r|Truda}} In the 1970s the use of such dogs was banned in Brazilian slaughterhouses and the breed's numbers declined to the point of extinction, this was further exacerbated by the increased popularity of imported dog breeds.{{r|Truda}} 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.{{r|Truda}}
According to the Confederação Brasileira de Cinofilia's breed standard, Campeiro Bulldogs typically stand between {{convert|48|and|56|cm|in}}, with dogs standing between {{convert|50|and|56|cm|in}} and bitches between {{convert|48|and|54|cm|in}}.{{r|CBKC}} The breed standard states healthy adult dogs typically weigh between {{convert|36|and|42|kg|lb}} and bitches between {{convert|31|and|37|kg|lb}}.{{r|CBKC}} The breed standard states the breed has a short, smooth coat that can be any colour except merle.{{r|CBKC}}
The breed is known to be aggressive to other dogs.{{r|Truda}}
