This study investigates the temporal dynamics of autochthonous dog breed recognition in the Balearic Islands, revealing a complex interplay of relationships across various stages. The analysis, depicted through a heatmap and correlation matrix, highlights the significance of early breed recognition by showing strong negative correlations with subsequent stages, shaping the trajectory for standardized breed preservation. Associations evolve as central players, exhibiting positive correlations in their temporal dynamics and contributing significantly to the sustainability of the island ecosystem. Notably, the study identifies nuanced connections between the temporal sequence of association development and the subsequent achievements of autonomic and national official recognitions. The findings provide valuable insights into the intricate patterns governing breed preservation, offering a comprehensive roadmap for informed conservation strategies and contributing to broader efforts in biodiversity conservation and cultural heritage stewardship unique to the Balearic Islands.
