The Perro Cimarrón is used as a watch and guarddog 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.
