Arubian Cunucu

Arubian Cunucu History

The Cirneco dell’Etna, also known as the Sicilian Sheepdog, is a herding and utility working breed of Italian origin. The Cirneco dâ€TMEtna is considered to have been brought to the Southern Italian island of Sicily from mainland Italy in the 11th century. The Cirneco dâ€TMEtna was recognized by the FCI in 1931. The origin of the name “Circeco-dell-Etna” is obscure. Some contend that the name comes from the Greek Κίρκη, (kírkē, meaning circle), and the name of the volcano Etna. Others suggest it may be derived from the French cercueil, meaning small cage. The Cirneco dâ€TMEtna is a medium-sized, stocky and strongly built dog. Its short coat is black and tan or fawn, with black and tan markings on the muzzle, cheeks, legs, and the tip of the tail. The Cirneco dâ€TMEtna was originally used to protect livestock from predators and was also used to herd sheep. It is still used as such, and also as a companion and guard dog.
