Gary,

I promise to post pics real soon but I wanted to respond to your question on how accurate this description is below:

"An excellent cattle dog and livestock guardian, the Cimarron Uruguayo also makes a very serious and committed watchdog, patrolling the farms for intruders, real or perceived. Fairly independent and quite smart, it accepts all family members, but usually obeys a single master. "

I have to say that I do agree with the above.  Cimarrones are serious watch dogs, they don't bark unnecessarily but they do know when someone/something is on their territory & will make their presence known.  They are very courageous dogs, they don't just bark at you & back up....they're barking & walking up towards you.  They are extremely docile with their families & they have an affinity towards children. Don't expect a Cimarron to take commands from an unknown person, they won't listen.....they take cues from their people & their people only.  Although they can be great independent thinkers, they love nothing more than to please their people.

These dogs also have cat-like reflexes! I'm amazed at how quickly Bruno can jump away from something or move out of the way when another one of my dogs are running towards us.

Bruno & I have started IPO training.  We haven't gotten very far, we have done rag work & agitation training.  Now that he is more confident, he is really getting into it.

Right now, Bruno is about 23" at the shoulders & weighs about 70lbs.  At this point he won't grow anymore height wise but will be filling out more.
