Bardino Majorero 

    HISTORICAL SUMMARY    

All of this is still lacks one final ingredient that completes the Dogo Canario- the Bardino Majorero, a pre-hispanic sheepdog originating on the island of Fuerteventura, though well spread throughout all the islands. This dog, appreciated for its intelligence (easily trainable), of great physical resistance, an excellent guardian, dedicated mostly to the management of goat herds, of little bark, extraordinary set of teeth and an incorruptible courage. The Bardino Majorero was introduced for their excellent abilities and to improve upon the "Perro de Presa" that was arising due to English influence. These dogs with their rustic hair of striped "greenish" tonality, referred to as "Verdino" contributed in great part to the typical characteristics of the Dogo Canario and gave it the characteristics which sets it apart from other molossoide breeds.
This combination of holding dogs of the land, holding dogs of the continent and the Bardino Majorero, began a new ethnic grouping of holding dogs, of intermediate size, predominant type and of fiery temperament. New to the traditional functions of guarding and struggle with the livestock, was added a new and exciting mission, to the delight of most breeders: The Fights.
