Description |
This breeds should give the impression of
quickness and strength. Its very strong muscles are long and marked, giving the
impression of great force. It has strong bones. The neck is of medium
length, strong and slightly arched. The chest is approximately 50% if the
height in the withers. The shoulders and arms are strong and muscular. The paws
look like those of a cat. The skin is thick, relatively loose, but without any
dewlap. The fur is short, dense, shining and rough. Any color variation or
combination of colors are accepted. |
|
Temperament |
The Dogue Brasileiro is a perfect
mixture between the Boxer’s docility and the Bull Terrier’s courage. They
are excellent watchdogs/guard dogs and are quite obedient. Excellent with
children and very loyal to their families. The balanced temper is other notable
characteristic in the breed. Very willing to please and known for their balance
and courage. Dogue Brasileiro is known for its watchdog ability without the
danger of undesirable attacks, however, this breed will defend its owner when it
notices a real threat. The Dogue Brasileiro is said not to be dog
aggressive, however with Bull Terrier in its lines I am not sure if this can be
guaranteed. The Dogue Brasileiro is easy to
obedience train. |
