The Cimarron Uruguayo is also known as the Perro Criollo or the Perro Gaucho. The word "cimarron" means untamed or wild. The skull of this breed is wider than it is long and has a moderate stop. The muzzle is brown and powerful. The upper lips cover the lower lips. The teeth should meet in a scissor-like bite. The nose is broad and black and the almond-shaped eyes are any color of brown. The ears are medium-sized and triangular in shape; dropped, but do not hang close to the cheeks. The ears may be cropped in a rounded shape similar to a puma ear. The neck is strong and well-muscled. The chest is deep to the elbow and is broad with a well-developed forechest. The topline can be level or slightly saddle shaped. The thick tail is low set and reaches to the hock. It is carried low when the dog is at rest and horizontally or slightly upward when the dog is in motion. The short and smooth coat has an undercoat and comes in brindle and all shades of fawn with or without a mask or black shading.
