- The standard describes the breed as: “Quiet and balanced, attached to its owner, self-confident, intrepid and docile, without being shy or aggressive”

What you are taking on
Nobody has written this side yet. It is a judgement rather than data, so it waits for a person — not for a missing source.
Drawn from sources rather than written as an opinion — cited health research, the registry’s own standard, and peer-reviewed longevity. FCI breed standard. One breeder’s animals can differ from any of it, and an empty column means we hold nothing for that side rather than that there is nothing to say.

Preferred, permissible, undesirable and disqualifying are FCI’s own words about the breed. They describe what the standard asks for — not an assessment of any individual dog, and not ours.
Shortened from FCI standard n°275 — each label is the standard’s own wording with the verdict lifted into the tag beside it. Read the full clause at source.

Health guide
What to ask for in a Brazilian Tracker
No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Brazilian Tracker on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.

No Brazilian Tracker breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
