Bulldogge Brasileiro (Brazilian Bulldogge), also known as the Bullbras, is a bulldog-type dog breed from Brazil.[1] The breed is recognized by the SONARB (National Society of Brazilian Breeds: a minor kennel club from Brazil) since 2013.[2]
History[edit]
In March 2006, the dog breeder Wagmar de Souza began to crossbred some breeds including the Olde English Bulldogge, English Bulldog, Campeiro Bulldog, Boxer and other breeds[1] to create a new breed retaining the anatomical features of the common bulldog-type dogs while avoiding the health impairments such as respiratory ailments, low physical resistance and hip dysplasia.[1]
By 2010, a little more than 50 dogs were considered Bullbras.[1] They are in the possession of Souza and his project partners Sérgio Infante (of São Paulo), Geraldo Starling and Fernando Starling (both from Brasilia).
Features[edit]
The Bullbras weighs between 28 and 38 kg, and 43 to 50 cm in height. Their coat colors are uncommon in other bulldog-type breeds, featuring uniform chocolate coat, blue or black with a white mark under belly. They sometimes have tan marks.[1]
