Introduction to breeds of native dogs in China

Introduction to breeds of native dogs

There are also small morphological differences between Chinese hometown dogs in different regions, but they all have the same important characteristics. . Some friends think that the situation of native dogs is very different, and their free growth and genetics are not stable, as if they have no personality. In fact, as long as you observe carefully, you can still discover their personality. When you easily recognize a so-called "country dog", you can already identify the country dog ​​by its personality, but most people do not fully extract all the characteristics of these country dogs. Just like the individual differences between Tibetan Mastiffs, some people say that Tibetan Mastiffs are genetically unstable. However, when you see a Tibetan Mastiff, you can usually easily identify it as a Tibetan Mastiff, which proves that its personality is greater than that of a Tibetan Mastiff. Individuals are different, and so are Chinese native dogs.

Chinese native dogs

Species dispersion of native dogs

Chinese native dogs are mainly distributed on the Great Wall To the south,

China's native dog distribution range

The low-altitude Han gathering area east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with the Zhongben as the core, is the product of the Han Chinese's thousands of years of farming society. Such a collective definition is very important and clarifies the existence of Chinese native dogs.The environment is a low-altitude farming community area with a warm environment.

Naturally, with the continuous migration of the Han nation for thousands of years, the distribution range of Chinese native dogs has also continued to expand. . For example, in Northeast China, due to the Han immigrants, there are many native dogs in the villages there that are different from those in the pastoral areas of Northeast China, and some of them have been hybridized with dog breeds from other areas to produce new breeds. But one thing is that it can be confirmed that the Chinese hometown dog is a product of the farming society of central China.

Subspecies dispersion

Chinese native dogs are widely distributed in Han Chinese cities in China. Due to factors such as region, environment, and blood relationship, many different strains and subspecies have emerged. Based on the analysis of the dog's external characteristics and distribution area, the Chinese hometown dog can be roughly divided into three major strains, namely the Shuofang strain, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang strains, and the Erguang strain.

Note: The three major strains are derived from macroscopic analysis, and they are definitely still suitable in many small situations. There are some special subspecies emerging. There are still a large number of border areas between the distribution areas of these three major strains, and the dogs here also appear in mixed varieties. The three major strains are distributed in a triangle shape, with a large vacant area in the middle, mainly in Hubei and Hunan. Whether the native dogs in this area are independent strains or over-species needs further research and demonstration.

Shuofang strain

Shuofang Folded-eared Dog

Scattered from the Northeast - the Yellow River Basin - the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River - Yunnan and Guizhou Gaoben (excluding minority ethnic areas) is distributed in a diagonal line from northeast to southwest. Although the environment in this vast area varies widely, especially the inconsistent climate between the north and the south has causedThe individual dogs vary in size and coat quality, but the connotations of the dog breeds in this region are very similar. For example: the stupid dogs commonly known as the Northeast and the native dogs in Sichuan are almost identical in appearance, but the Northeast is generally larger and has thicker hair and is more cold-resistant; the Sichuan native dogs are generally smaller and have thicker hair in order to adapt to the humid climate in the south. And rare. Interestingly, the distribution area of ​​this strain coincides with the distribution of the Shuofang language family of the Chinese Han people.

Its characteristics are: more dogs with mixed hair colors, fewer dogs with solid-colored hair, and ears that used to be floppy. Mainly (the so-called "front dropped ears" means that because the ears are placed high on the top of the head, the ears naturally hang down toward the front of the head when relaxed). It is rare to have long-haired and large curly tails, maintaining more square dog breeds. characteristics.

Shuofang Fold-eared Dog has half-folded ears in front and a dignified appearance, making it an excellent watchdog.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang strains:

Su Dog

Mainly scattered in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui, this area The characteristics of the dog breed are: large, long and erect ears, high-set ears, bulging inner ear hairs, pointed muzzles, long hands and feet, mostly white belly hair, less miscellaneous haired dogs, medium-long and close-fitting and fine hair.

The dogs in this area are very similar to the dogs in Japan and Korea. They are probably similar to the Pangu Chinese dogs. The East China Sea has always had a close connection with external tourism. Not only the spread of rumors about Chinese culture, but also various Chinese products including livestock and dogs are also brought to these places.

Erguang strain

The distribution area is centered on Guangdong, including parts of Guangxi and Fujian. The dog breeds in this area are also the most well-known to everyone, and many outstanding dog breeds originated here. Such as: Shapi, Chaoshan Datou, Guangxi

　The development and origin of native dogs.

"The Rites of Zhou" records in the Autumn Official Book: There are three types of dogs, one is the field dog, the other is the field dog. One is a barking dog, the other three are eating dogs. It can be seen that in ancient China, dogs were mostly classified by their functions, and they did not pay attention to the appearance of the dogs. Dogs that can't hunt but are still fierce enough to be barking dogs will only be eaten by people if they are no longer used. Such artificial selection methods make the dog breeds that generally exist in China have no fixed bloodlines.

The traditional Chinese culture, with the Han as the main body, neglecting dogs and the modern social dog culture turning a blind eye to this dog breed Unfortunately, the dog breed that has been running around in China for more than five thousand years does not even have a decent name. The folk name is native dog, and "local dog" cannot be understood literally as "local dog". The name of the breeding dog, so the current title and concept of "Chinese hometown dog" emerged.

Cancel these. The breed only looks at the native dog, its characteristics are: the coat color is mainly solid color, and mixed-haired dogs are very rare; due to the hot weather, the dogs are mainly close-fitting short-haired dogs, but there are some dogs with particularly long and deep hair; ears Small and erect, the tongue rarely has a black tongue or a colorful tongue, and the body is strong and muscular.Because of the above-mentioned external characteristics and the large number of Guangdong Chow Chows scattered in this area, it is suspected that the dogs in the Erguang area are greatly influenced by the Chow Chow bloodline. Guangxi dog, Guangxi native dog, group hound, erect ears, colorful tongue or black tongue. Often used for hunting wild boar.

　The psychological goals of native dogs

Touch: Use your thumb and index finger to pinch the webbing between the middle toes of the puppy's front feet, count the numbers from one to ten in your mouth, and gradually reduce the intensity of the fingers at the same time. If the puppy has resisted fiercely at the beginning, it will be too sensitive to collaring, restraint and training in the future; and the dog that has just resisted with the strongest strength needs a determined trainer.

Hearing: The sound-producing device first makes a loud sound and then hides it in a corner - often a metal cover or the like. After a sound, the puppy will often be frightened and confused. If it does not respond, take it to the veterinarian immediately to check whether it is a deaf dog. If the puppy can return to normal quickly and the source of the sound can be investigated, it is head. A well-behaved dog. A dog that is frightened and keeps away from the source of sound is probably not suitable for a noisy family.

Visual: Choose some cloth strips to swing in front of the puppy, and have full confidence that the puppy will study it quietly. What? The brave ones will try to bite it; the timid ones have already avoided it.
