History & Origins
Traditional Aragonese shepherd dog from the Pyrenees mountains valued for cattle and sheep herding. Its name derives from herding 'chiras,' a local sheep breed. The breed faced near extinction but is undergoing recovery thanks to efforts by the Club del Can de Chira and recognition as a Canine Ethnic Group by the Real Sociedad Canina de España.
