The Perro Cimarron is the only dog truly native to Uruguay. This breed has existed in Uruguay for over 300 years and was developed by crossing several breeds that were brought from Spanish and Portuguese conquerors. This dog is good at working cattle and hunting. The Perro Cimarron is also a guardian of its home and family.

The Perro Cimarrón is Uruguay's national dog-breed with a history stretching back to the colonization of the country. It is a decendant of the dogs brought over to the continent by the Spanish & Portuguese explorers.

The dogs of the explorers was of mixed parentage, mostly working Molossers and hunting dogs. These dogs were left in Uruguay, and a huge population of wild dogs was formed. Uruguay had such problems with wild dogs that every citizen was obligated to hunt and kill the wild dogs.

Some farmers did catch dogs instead of killing them, and they soon realized the dogs usefullness as watchdogs and at farmwork, especially working on the cattle. From these dogs the modern Cimarrón developed, probably with some infusion of additional Molosser blood later.

The Perro Cimarrón is used as a watch and guard dog for house and property. It is a breed that has become very popular in its country of origin, where you can see at least a couple of them at many ranches.

The Cimarrón is also used extensively for wild boar hunting, a sport that increases in popularity for every year, given that boars is a plague (they were introduced in the early 1900s in Uruguay, and have no natural enemies). Wild boars cause many damages to crops, and to the sheep flocks.

Cimarrones, hunting in groups with other breeds, especially Dogo Argentino, are both an effective way of controlling this plague, and provide many days of a adrenaline full fun for interested people.
