Brasilianterrieri
FCI:
Brazilian Terrier - Group 3 Terriers, Section 1: Large and medium sized Terriers.
General Appearance:
It's a very lively, vivacious, extremely clever and agile dog that can occur when needed and necessary dose of sharpness. Its behaviour is a sovereign like all terriers. It is always ready and willing to shed, sometimes with a somewhat disproportionate vigour, completely without fear and with unmatched vigour, in any activity.
The famous people are extremely friendly and gentle, strangers must gradually accustom. Originally, on haciendas, these dogs commonly applied in the control of rodents and small carnivores, later fully proven as sociable dogs. Brazilian Terrier is kind and playful, but always to be reckoned with tremendous energy it spends on any activity, so it is definitely not the best breed for your lap.
Temperament/Behaviour:
It excels at intelligence, and so unexpectedly learns quickly. Easily and quickly handle commands, because in contact with the instructor is very attentive. But it is also very independent and sometimes it can be a bit stubborn. It is intelligent and therefore tends to cause its own opinion. It should not be a reason for its punishment and it could undermine the relationship between it and the owner. The owner only needs with absolute calm, gently, but with unyielding vigour to assert their opinion.
Although from an early age accustomed to living together with children and no way jeopardizes them, never it can be lat alone, only with supervising. Urgently it needs plenty of exercise and opportunities for physical activity. Besides the physical job also requires some mental.
Body:
This is a medium-sized, slender dog balanced, strong, but never too heavy body, square body frame that is rounded contoured lines and clearly at first sight different from smooth Fox Terriers. This requirement standard indirectly confirms that in the veins of Brazilian Terrier circulates blood considerable share of this breed, which is equal to an outline of the body is very typical. That is why they are highly undesirable for Brazilian Terriers

The head should be seen from above the shape of a triangle. The widest in the occipital region of the eye toward the nose narrows significantly. When viewed from the side lines of the muzzle rises slightly from the tip of the nose towards the front slope (stop). Line of slope between the eyes rises when viewed in profile sharply upward and into the top line of the skull, which takes place in a gentle arc to occipital area.
Muzzle matches when viewed from above, the shape of equilateral triangle whose vertices form a nose and two outer eye corners. Continuously expands towards the base, which merges into the front slope. Must be strong and well made (forfeited) in under the eyes. The nose has a corresponding size, wide nostrils and be dark coloured.

They must be kept far enough apart so that the distance between the two outer corners of the eye equals the distance from the outer corner of eye to nose. They are straight and slightly protruding. They are big with slight bony ridges. The blue-coloured dogs may have blue-grey eye, brown may be brown, green or blue.
The earlobes are set at large, fairly wide apart, at the level of the eye. They are triangular, pointed tops, half-pricked and folded down ahead of spikes that reach to the outer corners of the eye. They must never be cropped.
The neck must have adequate length which corresponds as well as strength, head size. It flows into the body. Although it is powerful, it must be thin, dry, slightly arched in the nape. Upper body lines must be straight, firm from withers towards rear slightly sloping. The back should be rather short and well muscled.
The tail should be low. In the country of origin of the breed is usually shorter, but may be congenitally short or long. In this case, it must not interfere with its end below the hock.
