Introduction to the breed of Chinese pastoral dog
Introduction to the breed of native dogs
There are also small morphological differences between Chinese pastoral dogs from different regions, but they all share major features.
Chinese pastoral dog
Species distribution of soil dogs
Chinese pastoral dogs are mainly distributed in the south of the Great Wall,
Distribution range of Chinese pastoral dogs
The east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with the Central Plains as the center, is a low-altitude Han agglomeration area, which is the product of the Chinese Han people's farming society for thousands of years.
Of course, with the continuous migration of the Han nationality for thousands of years, the distribution range of Chinese pastoral dogs is also expanding.
Subspecies distribution
The Chinese pastoral dog is widely distributed in the rural areas of the Han nationality in China, and many different strains and subspecies have been formed due to factors such as region, environment and blood relationship.
Note: The three major strains are the results of macroscopic analysis, and there must be some unique subspecies appearing in many small places.
northern strain
northern fold
The distribution is from the northeast - the Yellow River Basin - the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River - the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau (excluding ethnic minority areas), and it is distributed in a diagonal line from the northeast to the southwest.
Its characteristics are: the hair color is more mixed, the dogs with single-color solid-color hair are few, and the ears are mainly slumped in the front (the so-called "front slumped ears" refers to the fact that the ears are placed high on the top of the head, so that the ears naturally face when they are in a relaxed state.
The northern fold has its ears half-folded and has a majestic face, making it a good watchdog.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang strains:
Sioux
Mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui areas. The characteristics of dog breeds in this area are: long and erect ears, high ear position, full inner ear hair, slender mouth and limbs, mostly white belly hair, less mixed-hair dogs,
The dogs in this area are very similar to those in Japan and Korea, and may be closely related to the frequent foreign exchanges in the ancient East China Sea.
Guangdong and Guangxi strains
The distribution area is centered on Guangdong, including parts of Guangxi and Fujian.
Guangxi
Guangdong Chow Chow has a lot to do with the unique dog culture in Guangdong and Guangxi.
The origin of the development of the dog
"Zhou Li" Qiuguan Shu records: There are three kinds of dogs, one is a field dog, the other is a barking dog, and the third is a dog-eating dog.
The traditional Chinese culture with the Han nationality as the main body ignores dogs and the dog culture in modern society turns a blind eye to this dog breed, so that the dog breeds that have been running on the land of our country for more than 5,000 years do not even have a decent name.
Except for these breeds, we only look at pastoral dogs, which are characterized by: the coat color is mainly solid monochrome, and there are few mixed-hair dogs; due to the hot climate, dogs are mainly short-haired, but there are some dogs with particularly long and thick hair.
Physiological indicators of native dogs
Touch: Pinch the leather web between the middle toes of the puppy's forefoot with the thumb and forefinger, count the numbers from one to ten, and gradually increase the strength of the fingers accordingly;
Hearing: First make a loud sound and then hide a corner of the device that makes the sound - usually a metal cover or the like.
Vision: Choose some cloth strips to wave in front of the puppy, the confident puppy will quietly study what it is; the brave one will try to bite it; the cowardly one has long since gone into hiding.
