Allergy-friendly: 2 / 10
Do Cimarrón Uruguayo shed?
Cimarrón Uruguayos are moderate year-round shedders with short, dense double coats. While they are not hypoallergenic, their shedding is generally manageable with weekly brushing. Owners should expect increased hair loss during seasonal transitions in the spring and fall as the dogs naturally adjust their undercoats.

Feeding amount: 3 / 10
How often should a Cimarrón Uruguayo puppy eat?
Cimarrón Uruguayo puppies should eat three to four meals a day for the first six months to support this muscular working breed's steady growth. Two meals a day is typically sufficient after that point. Because Cimarróns mature into large, powerful dogs, consistent portions help protect developing joints, so check with your vet.
