Description

The Arubian Cunucu Dog is a pariah type dog; one of the surviving random bred dogs of Aruba. This pariah type dog has similar characteristics to other pariah type dogs, including a curled tail, smooth coat, pricked ears and moderate body. Pariah type dogs vary in size considerably. Nature has a preference for this type of dog so when left to its own devices, the genetics of dogs typically become this generic all-around dog type. At the same time, without evidence of a standard, a specific studbook or pedigree, it is very difficult to recognize the Arubian Cunucu Dog as a breed.
