List of domestic dogs

The Cimarrón Uruguayo is an FCI recognized dog breed from Uruguay ( FCI Group 2, Section 2.1, Standard No. 353 ).

Origin and history

One theory about the origin of the breed is that Spanish colonists brought dogs to South America that mixed up. Many of them went wild and caused problems for sheep and cattle farmers. As a result, numerous dogs were killed at the end of the 18th century. At the same time, however, landowners discovered the benefits of these dogs and began to use and maintain them. The breed has been recognized by the Uruguayan Breeding Association since 1989. In 2006 there was a provisional recognition by the FCI, in 2017 the recognition of the breed followed.

description

The Cimarrón Uruguayo is a clearly Molosser-like dog: medium-sized (according to FCI up to 61 cm, 45 kg), very robust and spirited due to its time as a wild dog. The short coat should be yellow or brindle of any shade; pure white or completely black is not desired. The head is powerful, broad with a relatively short muzzle. The ears, which are not too big, lie on the cheeks. The tail is carried hanging down like a saber.

Essence

The breed is described as easily educable, balanced, fearless and suspicious of strangers.

use

It is used as a hunting dog , guard dog, as well as for working on cattle herds.
