Nowadays, there are many pet dogs in the family, resulting in the price of dogs in the pet market has been at a high level. For the history of dog breeding in China, we must start from the Neolithic Age: the fossils of dogs excavated in the archaeology of Hemudu, Zhejiang Province, are the earliest evidence of domesticated dogs found in China so far, with a history of about 8,000 years.
The ancient Chinese dog breeds that have lived with our ancestors for thousands of years have been scorned by the people of our cities now, and how many more dog families have chinese pastoral dogs (earth dogs) that have lived and bred with our ancestors to this day?
In fact, there are many now famous dog breeds in the land of China, but in China, some of the blood is getting thinner and thinner, and some can no longer be seen in China, and if you want to raise those famous dogs that were once in China, you can only spend a high price to import from abroad, how ironic!
Tibetan Mastiff (do khyi; English: Tibetan Mastiff), also known as Tibetan Mastiff, belongs to the Mastiff, a large and fierce dog, the coat color is mostly iron-clad gold, yellow, black (black is not pure black, but on the chest, limbs slightly white hair), etc., native to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The Sleeve Dog, also known as the Tibetan Spaniel, is native to Tibet in the Himalayas and is one of the ancient dog breeds in China, and it is also an excellent dog breed with mysterious colors.
The Lhasa poodle looks like a lion, and the coat is long and rich, especially the head, ears and tail are the most abundant and can be dragged to the ground.
The Chow Chow is an ancient dog breed native to Tibet, China, that has a history of at least 2,000 years. Some cultural relics of the Han Dynasty can also be seen. The real name is the badger, and the pine lion is the name that entered the foreign country and passed back to China.
Chinese crowned haired dog (scientific name: Canis lupus familiaris), also known as Chinese hairless dog, half-haired dog, Chinese naked dog, Chinese royal naked dog, Chinese boat dog, etc., is one of the few hairless dog breeds in the world.
Nickname: Shih Tzu. Native to China, it originated in the 17th century. Originating in Tibet, it is bred in lama temples as watchdogs.
The Sharpie, English name SharPei, is produced in the area of Dali Town, Nanhai, Guangdong, China, and is one of the world's famous dog fighting dogs.
Pug," native to China, is charismatic and elegant, officially named "Pug" at the end of the 14th century, meaning "hammer head", "clown", lion nose or little monkey.
The Tibetan beast is not large by nature, only a few hundred grams, this kind of dog is a most vigilant dog, very distrustful of strangers, to get its trust is very difficult. Tibetan beasts are Tibetan buddhist dogs, dogs under the seat of bodhisattvas, and are generally kept in temples.
The above is not a complete list of ancient dog breeds that originally lived in China, and now some of these dog breeds are difficult to see in China, and must be imported from abroad at a large price. Pug, Jingba (Beijing Dog), Tibetan Mastiff Dog, Guangdong Bone-billed Shapi, Hebei Thin Dog, Tabby Dog, Lhasa Dog, Sharpie Dog, Songshi Dog, Xishi Dog and so on are all native dog breeds in China. However, due to various historical reasons, many purebred dogs have been owned, bred and registered as world famous dogs by foreigners, such as: Beijing Dog, Xishi, Myna, Shapi, Pine Lion, Lhasa Dog, Tibetan Mastiff, Tibetan Beagle and Tibetan Terrier. To this day, the Foreigner-bred Beijing Dog has become the most expensive member of the international thoroughbred dog market with its beautiful long hair and noble personality, and the best Beijing Dog has sold for more than one million US dollars. Most of the Peking dogs that survive in China are constantly crossed with other breeds because they are not protected alone, and there are often seen Jingba dogs (in fact, "Jingba Dogs" is the real scientific name). Not only the Beijing dog, but also many famous Chinese dogs such as Zang Mastiff, Songshi, Shapi, etc., have all undergone a similar process without exception.
Purebred Chinese pastoral dogs [yellow dogs, chai dogs], in the last century, the family care home is more common, due to the improvement of people's living standards in the 21st century, a large number of foreign dogs have been introduced, resulting in purebred Chinese pastoral dogs not being valued, and then sharply reduced, and then most of the purebred Chinese native dogs live on the streets and are spurned by people who do not like earth dogs such as the dog fighting team. Some irresponsible dog owners, arbitrarily freeing foreign dogs, lead to dog hybridization, step by step breeding into strings of dogs, mixed breeding dogs. These reasons have led to the gradual loss of the bloodline of the Chinese pastoral dog, more and more less attention, and now most of the stray dogs you see on the street are Chinese pastoral dogs, and some are reduced to meat dogs. Now that winter is coming, Xiaobian hopes that everyone will give more warmth to these wanderers under the condition of ensuring their own safety, give them some scraps, and don't chase them or poison them when they see them, after all, the blood flowing on their bodies has accompanied our ancestors for thousands of years!
The Chinese Pastoral Dog is the most widely distributed breed dog in China, and the closest friend to our Chinese, but it is ignored by people. Especially now, all the Chinese dog industry with Western standards has not been able to pay attention to it, and has not seriously researched and developed its own domestic dog breeds, and most of them are in a blank state. And it is precisely the Chinese pastoral dog is the largest treasure trove of canine genes in China and even in the world, do not forget that China is the birthplace of dogs, American research has found that in the purebred dog breed, the genes of the Sharpie dog are closest to wolves, then our more ancient Chinese pastoral dog may be the originator of all dogs in the world, of which many dog breeds in the world are artificially selected and bred from the Chinese pastoral dog.

"Loyal Dog Hachiko" believes that many people have seen it, of which the protagonist is an Akita dog; many people have Akita at home, but compared with the Chinese Pastoral Dog, is the Chinese Pastoral Dog really much worse than the Akita? The heartache is that one of them will be spoiled like a son, and one will be...
The Chinese Pastoral Dog is also very cute and intelligent, after all, it has lived in this land with our ancestors for thousands of years.
Some time ago, television reported the touching story of a loyal dog and a Chinese pastoral dog of a disabled elderly man. The old man is in his seventies, childless, can only stand on his legs and cannot walk, and can only use a wheelchair for outings. The old man had a small black dog, only three or four years old. The old man tied a rope to his body and tied it to his wheelchair, and at the sound of an order, the little black dog ran forward and sent the old man to his destination. The old man has new legs, sings a song in praise of the dog in a wheelchair, and is still thinking of a fairy tale for the dog. According to him, this dog is a star in the sky and falls to the earth to bring peace and happiness to mankind.
To say that the old man's loyal dog, the IQ is certainly not low. But that wasn't the case. It turned out to be like all other pastoral dogs, playing around, fighting, and not wanting to go home. One day, it was used as a wild dog and was nearly killed by a stick in the wild. The old man found that the dog had not returned overnight, looked around regardless of the mutilated body, and finally found the dying dog, took it home, washed it, medicated, changed the medicine, and kept it for four days and four nights before pulling the dog back from death. Since then, the dog has been grateful for the owner's life-saving grace, and began to take the initiative to pull a car for the owner, listening to the master's instructions at any time, and never ran around again.
So people always think that the dog is dirty and bites, and how do you treat him? No matter what dog you start to treat him well, he is sometimes more loyal to you than people! Dogs are actually far smarter than we think. They are able to accurately judge what is good for them and what is bad for them according to the characteristics of their owners. Generally speaking, Chinese to raise dogs, nothing more than a caretaker, anti-theft and anti-thief. The Chinese Pastoral Dog can generally accurately judge the identity of the person and the attitude of the owner - of course, sometimes it will make the mistake of "dog eyes looking down on people". Different from foreign people, many Chinese to raise dogs, that is, to figure out a practical value, useless dogs can also become food on the table to satisfy the appetite, what funeral for the dog, what memorial to the dog, that is simply funny! In this case, there is not much point in being a highly intelligent dog. The dogs know very well that if the housekeeper looks well, he can get the bones he wants; if the housekeeper does not see well, he will become the bones on the owner's table; other things, what instructions are not directed, what is conscious or unconscious, leave it alone!
It was just that the loyal dog of this disabled old man, after being saved by his master, suddenly realized that he was not originally used to slaughter, and his life was also cherished and cherished. It is willing to be a smarter and more useful dog, to make its life more valuable, and it wants to become the leg of the disabled old man, to take the old man wherever he wants to go.
In fact, dogs are like this, and the truth of the world is like this: a life that is respected and loved will become a better life. The life of all things is a constantly generating existence - to become love in love, to hate in hate, to become ignorance in ignorance, to become indifferent in indifference, to lose value in forgetting, to achieve value in love. The cause of the low IQ of the Chinese pastoral dog is not the pastoral dog itself, but the people who are indifferent to him when they get along with it!
Fortunately, now more and more people are beginning to realize the value of Chinese pastoral dogs, and more and more people are raising Chinese pastoral dogs! Finally, the words, winter is coming, give those stray dogs some warmth!
