Put first for Brazilian Terrier, Andalusian Terrier stands out through the same family, the same group, plus the same size class. It stands 13 to 16 inches tall, weighs 20 to 24 pounds, and lives 12 to 15 years. The list continues with Jagdterrier and Welsh Terrier, both near on several counts, though neither aligns quite as closely.
The scoring order is kept in what follows, and each entry shows its working against the Brazilian Terrier.
On the numbers held for both breeds, the Andalusian Terrier lands nearest to the Brazilian Terrier. Both sit in the terriers and pinschers grouping and carry the Terrier group label. Both stand in the small class, 14 to 17 inches next to 13 to 16 inches. In pounds they are near neighbours, 18 to 27 lb against 20 to 24 lb. The differences are of degree rather than kind: a step in the figures here, a shade in the record there.
