Later, the British introduced bulldogs and Mastiffs. Initially, there were actually two types of Kodab dogs, namely the bullfighting type and the shepherd type. Many years later, people favored the bulldog type of Kodab dog even more.

Therefore, in the 20th century, specific standards for the Kodab dog were created.Its appearance is very similar to that of a Mastiff. Later, when the dog fighting sport gradually declined, this dog breed was used to protect farm dogs and protect the property safety of farm owners. In the 1960s, when the Cordab was registered, it was difficult to find purebred dogs in Mallorca. In the 1970s, people carried out a recovery plan for the Cordab dog.
