After the divulgation of the autochthonous breeds, a new worrying phenomenon started: many pseudo-breeds appeared and, besides, many attributions of breed have been done to animals which have nothing to do with the official breeds. This phenomenon risks to endanger the efforts for the protection of those breeds and to create many misunderstandings.

The following breeds have appeared breaking the protocols of defence and they are not corresponding to the original breeds.
Some of them have never been mentioned in any historical reference and they have not to be considered as a breed (fraud).
