KÄYTTÖTARKOITUS: Erinomainen paimen- suurriistanmetsästys- ja vahtikoira.
LYHYT HISTORIAOSUUS: Cimarronin alkuperä on hämärän peitossa. Sen tiedetään polveutuvan espanjalaisten ja portugalilaisten valloittajien koirista. Nämä koirat jäivät maahan ja risteytyivät keskenään. Luonnonvalinnan seurauksena vain sopivimmat, vahvimmat ja viisaimmat yksilöt selvisivät. Se johti cimarronin syntymiseen. Sen ajan asukkaat huomasivat näiden koirien arvon, kesyttivät ne ja alkoivat vähitellen käyttää niitä menestyksekkäästi sekä omaisuutensa vahteina että paimenkoirina päivittäisessä työssään.
UTILIZATION: Excellent for herding, big game hunting and guard.
BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: The origin of the Cimarrón Uruguayo is uncertain. It is known to be descended from the dogs introduced by the Spanish and Portuguese conquerors. These dogs left in the country crossed among themselves. Natural selection had as a result that only the fitter, the stronger and more clever individuals survived. This is how the Cimarrón was born. The inhabitants of the time, recognizing the value of these dogs, domesticated them and progressively began to use them successfully as guards of their estates and as herding dogs in their daily work with cattle.
