Uruguayan Cimarron
The Uruguayan Cimarron is a very intelligent versatile working breed, an excellent guard, a family dog and the most faithful companion. Absolute loyalty to their family and master is characteristic for Cimarrons. They also protect their family at the cost of their own lives. In describing the characteristics and working abilities of the Cimarrons, I rely on personal experience with my own dogs and puppies. I select animals for breeding not only on the basis of excellent health, but also on the amazing character, working potential and, of course, anatomy according to the FCI standard.
The most wonderful breed
Cimarrons are the shadow of their masters. They look at their masters as at the God. They are always close waiting for any wish of their master. Cimarrons constantly make people laugh and look for the way to make the day more pleasant. They are a source of permanent joy and positive mood. If Cimarrons enter your life, you will no longer be able to imagine it without them. They love children and if well socialized, they get along well with other dogs, cats and other animals.
Appearance
The Uruguayan Cimarron is a strong, compact, medium-sized dog. The height at the withers is from 58 to 61 cm at dogs and from 55 to 58 cm at bitches. At both sexes, the tolerance is ± 2 cm. The weight at dogs is from 38 to 45 kg and at bitches from 33 to 40 kg. Strong skeleton and well-developed muscles result in good mobility and agility.

Trick Dog
Cimarrons in Cerberus Illusion kennel currently successfully pass exams for the single levels of Trick Dog. “Trick Dog” was recognized by the American AKC and the Canadian CKC. Within each grade, the dog must demonstrate skills from different areas. These include the following:
- coordination (movement through obstacles, balancing, etc.),
- work with the mouth (including the utilization of prey drive, fetching, etc.),
- manual commands,
- paw work,
- scent work (search, tracking),
- nose work,
- distance work,
- command chain.
Anakin Cerberus Illusion got the first three titles (NTD, ITD, ATD) as the first Cimarron in the world. Duncan Cerberus Illusion (son of Anakin) got the first title at the age of only three months, second at the age of 4 months and the title of Advance Trick Dog (ATD) as a five-month-old puppy! The daughter of Duncan – Fatima Cerberus Illusion got NTD at the age of 2 months and 5 other working titles (ITD, ATD, NTD-M, ITD-M, AtoZ) at the age of 3 months!
Beowulf, Beulah and Belona currently have NTD, ITD, ATD, AtoZ and more. All five dogs are still in training. At the same time, as the owner of the Cerberus Illusion kennel, I passed the American exams as a CTDI (Certified Trick Dog Instructor).
Exceptional working abilities
Our litters do various activities in their new homes, e.g. they compete in the Hard Dog Race or do agility. One dog passed tracking exam (mantrailing) in Germany, and is training with the local firefighters to search for people under the ruins of buildings.
Uruguayan Cimarron is a versatile dog and is a suitable choice for those who primarily want the most loyal companion with whom they intend to spend enough time (even if the dog will serve as a “lap dog” watching TV with his master). The Uruguayan Cimarrons are not a “fashion accessory” in the garden, where they will be alone all day and will only see the owner during the feeding. They are living beings with certain needs and demands, including emotional ones. The choice of the suitable puppy for each family should be the task of an experienced breeder. If the breeder can accurately reveal the real needs of future owners as well as the potential and character of each puppy, he/she can offer the BEST puppy for each future owner and find the BEST home for each puppy.
