Re-creation
There have been ongoing attempts to recreate the breed from a mix of American Foxhound, Black And Tan Coonhound, Petit Bleu de Gascogne, English Foxhound, and American Bluetick Coonhound. The Grupo De Apoio Ao Resgate Do Rastreador Brasileiro in Brazil, a club dedicated to the Brazilian restoration of the breed, lists as an objective the finding of forty breeding animals of the correct type that can be certified as members of the breed, so as to eventually be once again recognised by the Brazilian Kennel Club.
Restoration of the breed is difficult due to the existence of very few dogs of the correct type and the lack of people interested in recovering the true Brazilian cultural and genetic heritage of the breed. Nonetheless, the breed is listed by various minor kennel clubs and dog organisations in North America, for promotion as a rare breed for those looking for an unusual pet.
