History
Unlike breeds created by interbreed crosses, this breed was developed by genetic selection based on the American Foxhound to adapt it to the Brazilian climate. It was developed by the Brazilian breeder Osvaldo Aranha Filho and is the evolution of the old Urrador Brasileiro (Brazilian Howler). The FCI first recognised it on 1 September 1967.
Coat
Short, smooth, very close, dense, slightly hard coat; mottled black and white (slate blue), bicolour or tricolour.
