History[edit]
The Can de Palleiro is a traditional shepherd dog breed from the autonomous community of Galicia. It was officially recognised by the Xunta de Galicia in April 2001, and a stud-book was established;[6] it received national recognition by royal decree in May the same year.[4] A breed association, the Club da Raza Can de Palleiro, was formed in 2002.[7]
