History
The Origin of Alano Espanol is unknown. One hypothesis is that it came from a dog brought to Spain during the 5th century migration period by the Alani, pastoralist from Central Europe. The first written reference to this variety in Spain can be found in the chapter of the 14th century Libro de la Montería de Alfonso XI ("Alfonso XI hunting book") in which hunting dogs called Alani. Dogs of this breed were used as war dogs of role in Eurasia before migration in the subjugation of Native American peoples, as well as in the capturing of slaves.
The Bullfighting ring with dogs of this type, was recorded by Francisco de Goya in his series on La Tauromaquia in 1816.The use of dogs on the Bullring was banned in 1880, So as the work they did changed, the number of races began to decline and by 1963 Alanos Espanol were thought to be extinct.
In the early 1990s, breeders were involved in the recovery process of a small endangered population and in 1995 the breeders organized into the national association of Breeders of Spanish Alano.
