The Brazilian Terrier, commonly called Fox Paulistinha, is a breed of dog developed in Brazil. It is one of several terriers probably descended from the combining of the Fox Terrier with other small breeds.
[edit] Description
[edit] Appearance
This terrier stands between 14-16 in (35.5-40.5 cm) at the withers. Its appearance is typical of dogs descended from fox terrier types: the short coat is tri-colour (white with markings in two other colours; permissible colours are black, tan, brown and blue). The skull is flat and wedge-shaped, with folded ears. The tail may be docked or natural. They typically weigh between 14-20 lbs (6.5–9 kg).[1]
[edit] Temperament
Brazilian Terriers are alert, intelligent and playful with stronger than average hunting instincts. They must be kept active and occupied, becoming destructive or restless if bored.
