The Perro Majorero (English: Majorero dog) is a Spanish breed from the Canary Islands. Traditionally, it has been used as a cattle dog and guard dog. For various reasons, including the abandonment of the primary sector, or the introduction of foreign breeds on the island, the breed entered into a steep decline, which led to the edge of extinction. There was no specific plan of breeding and selection to change the fate of the Perro Majorero. Also, the existing speculation had reduced the breed's quality. For these reasons, the 'Association for the Conservation of the Perro Majorero' (ACPM) was founded, born as an initiative from the hands of breeders, owners and fans in order to safeguard and promote the survival of the Perro Majorero.
