In 1979, in the municipality of Tuineje, the first monographic of the breed was held in Gran Tarajal, bringing together farmers, experts, and judges.

It was the beginning of the process for recognition of the breed by the Real Sociedad Canina de España.

On 14 April 1994 the Real Sociedad Canina de España recognized the Perro Majorero as a native canine breed.

No specific plan of breeding and selection existed to preserve the Perro Majorero.

Breeders and owners then formed the Association for the Conservation of the Perro Majorero (ACPM).
