The breed was developed in the 1950s by Oswaldo Aranha Filho in Brazil as a hunting dog for hunting jaguars and wild boar., A suitable dog should the Wild into a corner and can hold up to the arrival of the hunter, have a good nose for tracking, track loud and be well adapted to the hot climate and local terrain. To this end, he cruised among other American Foxhounds, Black and Tan Coonhounds, Petits Bleus de Gascogne Bluetick Coonhounds and some of which were specially imported to develop the new breed to Brazil.
In 1967 the breed was recognized by the FCI as the first Brazilian breed. They were divided into Group 6 with the standard number 275.
