The Perro Majorero (English: Majorero dog) is a Spanish dog breed from the Canary Islands. Traditionally, it has been used as a cattle dog and guard dog.
History
The word Mahorero (Majorero) is a Guanche word still used today to describe the people of Fuerteventura. In 1979, in the municipality of Tuineje, the first monographic of the breed was held in Gran Tarajal, bringing together farmers, experts, and judges. It was the beginning of the process for recognition of the breed by the Real Sociedad Canina de España. The effort was led by the Protective Society in Fuerteventura. On 14 April 1994 the Real Sociedad Canina de España recognized the Perro Majorero as a native canine breed.
The breed experienced a steep decline, nearing extinction. No specific plan of breeding and selection existed to preserve the Perro Majorero. Speculation had reduced the breed's quality. Breeders and owners then formed the Association for the Conservation of the Perro Majorero (ACPM). The ACPM set up a specific breeding plan for selection and improvement. One project has been to market puppies amongst its members and between farmers.
