Pampas Deerhound (Portuguese: Veadeiro pampeano) is a Brazilian breed of hunting dog; it is also found in Argentina and Uruguay.

[1] In 2000, thanks largely to the efforts of the late Carlos Lafaiete Seibert Bacelar, this dog breed was finally granted official recognition by the Brazilian Confederation of Cynophilia (CBKC).

Studies conducted by Carlos Bacelar revealed that a family of Pampas Deerhound breeders began breeding Veadeiros for hunting from up to four generations ago.

This in turn would aid in forming the family tree of the breed which is a prerequisite to achieve the international recognition.

These formed a part of major maritime trade routes connecting the continents and, thus explaining the presence of a variation of this dog breed in Brazil.

If for some reason the dog is unable to bring down its prey, it fences the target till it is within the reach of the hunter.

[1] Throughout the duration of hunting, the dog could howl, or emit different sounds for each situation: one while finding the trail, another while losing it, and yet another when it is close to the prey.

[1] Due to their ability to hunt in packs, these dogs have a quiet demeanor,[5] and they also make excellent companions.

[1] While the breed's intelligence and agility, in some cases, has been appreciated in context of activities like sheep and cattle herding, it is still regarded as having an inherent aptitude for hunting.

Medium-sized and long-legged with good muscles (denoting strength and hardiness), this dog breed is slender without seeming very thin and is physiologically built for speed.
