The Brazilian Terrier is a breed of dog developed in Brazil.

It is one of several terriers and one of the two worldwide recognized native breeds of Brazil.

[4] Another theory is that the breed is derived from Spanish breeds such as the Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz and Valencian Terrier brought to Brazil in vessels during the period of the Iberian Union.

[6] The breed generally weighs between 15-22 lbs (7–10 kg).

A docked tail, narrow chest, flat triangular skull and a well balanced body are the most common characteristics.
