Chinese Crested (中国冠毛 hōngguó guān máo) comes in two forms with and without hair. An incomplete dominant trait will lead to the hairless variety. The only distinction is the hair, so will be referred to as either Powderpuff and the Hairless. Hairless was a great companion to Chinese sailors in the 14th-century who’s job was pest control for rats on board. Today they’re a much-loved family member in Chinese homes best known for their playfulness. Chongqing (重庆犬, chóngqìng quǎn) is referred to as East Sichuan city dog and as you might have guessed is from the Chongqing region. Incredibly, this dog can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty (BC 202- AD 8). They are great family dogs according to locals. Chow Chow (松狮, sōng shī) as see above translates to Loose Lion. That’s because of the thick mane they have looking like a lion! Chow Chows are the most independent of Chinese dogs. Often confused as being dumb, they’re in fact stubborn and simply don’t mind being left alone. Typically, they are socialised early they still make an incredibly loyal family member. Kunming Wolfdog (昆明狼, kūnmíng láng) is a breed made by the Chinese military. They’re not from Kunming but rather were first used in Kunming for military purposes. As such, its exact origins are hard to pinpoint but they’re likely to be of German shepherd descent. Keep an eye out in China for the Kunming Wolfdog, they’re usually with police and military. Lhasa Apso (拉萨阿普索 lāsà ā pǔ suǒ) is another breed originating in Tibet. Don’t let this little fluff ball fool you. Despite its cute appearances, the Lhasa Apso was bred by the monks of Tibet as a guard dog. Pekingese (北京犬, běijīng quǎn) is a Chinese toy dog. Most famously known for only being allowed to be owned by royals in the 8th century (Tang Dynasty). Pekingese are named after China’s capital Peking (Beijing). They’re still a loved pet all over China making a great family member. Pugs (巴哥, bā gē) originated from China if you can believe it! Pugs were great companions in Ancient China to the Buddhist monks. Today pugs are still common in China, best known for their friendliness and adaptability to smaller apartment lifestyles. Shar-Pei (沙皮, shā pí) is an ancient Chinese dog breed, believed to have originated around 200 BC (Han Dynasty) in Southern China. You won’t have a hard time spotting a Shar-Pei in China due to their very unique wrinkly face. ‘Shar-Pei’ is a Cantonese word meaning ‘sandy skin’. They’re very docile and friendly dogs to have around but will be very protective of family members. Shih Tzu (西施, xī shī) is a toy dog breed. This little guy is all over China. They’re most ideal for the dog lovers in small apartments. They were once a favourite breed of the elite during the rule of the Ming Dynasty. They’re usually happy little fur balls especially around their owners but have been known to bark a lot, especially around strangers. Tibetan Kyi Apso (藏犬, cáng quǎn) or more commonly known in the west as an Apso Do-Ky. It is a rare Tibetan Collie breed seen most commonly helping farmers with livestock. Tibetan Spaniel (西藏猎, xīzàng liè) originated from the Himalayan regions of Tibet nearly 2,500 years ago. They’re not actually Spaniels but rather just look alike. Similarly to Lhasa Apso, they’re seen with monks as friends and guard dogs. They’re quite intelligent as they’re known for being able to learn various tricks. Tibetan Terrier (西藏梗, xīzàng gěng) is not a terrier but rather a Tsang Apso (Tibetan). They’re called the “Holy Dog of Tibet” as they once protected the ancient monasteries of Tibet.
