A medium-sized dog with a robust build, the Campeiro Bulldog has strong limbs and solid bones. Its height (at the withers) can vary between 48 and 58 cm. And the ideal weight for males varies between 35 to 45 kg and for females, between 30 and 40 kg.

The head is broad and somewhat rounded, with strong jaws and triangular, drooping ears. The eyes are oval and have dark colors.

The lips are thick and pendulous. The muzzle is short and should be well pigmented. It is ideal that the eye region is also highly pigmented. The neck is strong, neither too long nor too short.

Personality

The Campeiro Bulldog is a rustic and versatile dog, gifted with a fighting spirit. Very loyal and sociable, they love the company of their owners and tend to get along very well with children. However, they can be jealous and suspicious of strangers and other dogs. He is a dog that demands exclusivity.

It is also a great guard dog, as it is courageous and has an intimidating appearance, in addition to barking only when necessary, without making as much of a fuss as other breeds that bark about anything.

Breed health and care

The Campeiro Bulldog can live up to 12 years of life approximately. And to keep it looking good and healthy for so many years, it's important to take some basic care.

Being a rustic dog, he does not have many health problems and is easy to maintain.

However, some individuals may have excessive wrinkles on the skin, which, if not well cared for, end up with dewlap (folds of skin under the neck) and serious dermatitis. Therefore, it is important to always check and clean the dog's skin. Loose skin can also cause another undesirable problem: it damages the bite and makes the dog drool a lot.

Frequent diseases in dogs of the Molosso group, such as hip dysplasia and demodectic mange, are less common in Campeiro Bulldogs. And they rarely have joint problems. The presence of tumors and cancer in this breed is also less frequent.

Daily physical exercises are also recommended. The Campeiro Bulldog, in addition to its resistance, can breathe very well, and, in this way, it can be a good companion for running, hiking and trails.

Feeding: the amount of food to be given varies according to the size and age of the animal. A puppy pampas bulldog should consume 90 to 340 g of good quality food per day. Adults should consume 270 to 350 g per day. To find out more about the quantities, see the instructions given by the pet food brand on the package.

Brushing and bathing may be given sporadically.
