Uruguayan Cimarron History

The Cimarrón Uruguayo finds its ancestry in Spain, dating back to the 17th century. Surprisingly, despite the breed’s old history, we know a lot about the breed’s development process.

The Cimarrón Uruguayo is descended mainly from huge, battle hounds and Molosser types of dogs, including the Alano Espagnol. These dogs accompanied Portuguese colonizers and other European traders when they arrived in Uruguay. Moreover, the Cimarrón Uruguayo was believed to be created by the natural cross-breeding of the dogs that were brought to Uruguay by Christopher Columbus. Due to the fact, that the dogs were not kept safely, they escaped or were abandoned. Because of this abandonment, these dogs were living wild, inter-breeding without control, and eventually became consummate hunters in order to survive. At the beginning of the 18th century, the population of these dogs was large, and it put both the livestock and the people in danger, due to their wild nature. The Cimarrón Uruguayo is considered to be responsible for the diminishing number of jaguars and cougars in the area, making the breed one of Uruguay’s top predators.

With the aim of controlling the over-populated breed from attacking the people, the Uruguayan government paid bounties to hunt down the Cimarrón Uruguayo. Despite these actions, many specimens remained, especially in the highlands of Cerro Largo. Later, local farmers recognized the breed’s capabilities, and they adopted the dogs. The road to domestication has been a long, precise, and detailed journey. There are many records and documentation about the process. Firstly, the ranchers needed to tame the wild dogs, then, they trained them to be hunting, guarding, herding, cattle-driving, and fighting dogs. As the farmers and ranchers saw the breed’s great physical and behavioral traits, they started to rehabilitate the breed, and making them eligible for a breed standard and thus, for recognition. Consequently, a period of the partnership began, in which the dogs’ skills were harnessed for constructive purposes, and their oppression stopped. First, the Cimarrón Uruguayo became popular in Argentina and in Brazil, with breeders and local breed clubs. Both of these countries imported pure-bred dogs from Uruguay and made them the foundation stock of their population. The breed also reached the United States of America, and breeders started to work towards the recognition of the breed with the major kennel clubs within the United States.

The survival story of the fierce Cimarrón Uruguayo has made the breed become the national symbol of Uruguay, not to say, the breed had become the mascot of the National Army of Uruguay. First, the Kennel Club Uruguayo recognized the Cimarrón Uruguayo after nearly twenty years of work by the breed’s fanciers and breeders. The breed also got provisionally recognized by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) in 2006, and the organization has accepted definitively the breed in 2017 into their Mastiff group. The UKC (United Kennel Club) also gave the breed recognition, in their guardian dog group. Nowadays, the Cimarrón Uruguayo is still not kept as a family pet. Due to their unpredictable behavior and their tendency to get aggressive, the dogs are mostly used as working and guarding dogs.
