About the Pampas Deerhound

Pampas Deerhound is a Brazilian breed of hunting dog; it is also found in Argentina and Uruguay. It is common in Brazil, where it was first recognized by a national kennel club. The dogs were used to track, capture, and hunt deer, and thus earned the name Pampas Deerhound. It is still a widely preferred hunting companion to track other animals, such as wild boars.
