Pet Dog Illustrated: A Minute to Learn About the Most Popular Dog Breeds in China

Are you still feeling lonely for being alone for a long time? Are you still bored of having nothing to do after work? Are you still struggling with the lack of companionship for empty nesters? Are you still bothered by lack of exercise because of inertia? If so, then get a dog~!

The above is not an advertisement of course, but the truth. It is true that getting a dog is a good choice to solve the above problems, but it is also true that what breed of dog is a question worth considering, because there are so many breeds of pet dogs. Today I will give you a brief introduction to the more popular dog breeds in China.

According to the AKC (American Kennel Club), an authoritative organization in the dog world, dogs by size can be roughly divided into five categories: ultra-small, small, medium, large, and very large. The smallest ultra-small dog breeds do not exceed 25cm in height, weight is not more than 4kg, not as much as a fat cat, while the oversized dog breeds generally weigh more than 40kg, comparable to an adult.

Chihuahua.

For ultra-small pet dogs, we are keen to raise Chihuahuas and Pomeranians, the most common in the market, the community is also these two. Chihuahua is an ancient dog breed native to the Americas, looks like a “dog as its name”, petite like a toy doll, usually only 1-3 kg, according to its size, it is also known as the “teacup dog”, “miniature dog “It’s small, but it’s adorable, and the smaller it is, the more people love it. Although it is small, but it is cute, and the smaller it is, the more people love it. Another characteristic of Chihuahua is that it is afraid of cold. It is extremely afraid of the cold, the kind that doesn’t go out in winter without clothes.

Bomi.

Pomeranian is another ultra-small dog that is very popular for its face value. It has a small, cute body and long, soft, flowing hair, with a clever and happy personality, like a curious baby. However, Pomeranian’s long hair is quite hard to take care of and requires regular and frequent grooming. Probably because of the small head, every time the Pomeranian sticks out its tongue, it looks like it is grinning with a cheerful expression, which makes people feel happy too.

Poodles, Poodles, Poodles

Small dogs should be considered the mainstream species of pet dogs, but when it comes to small dogs, we must first give Teddy a proper name. Teddy is not a dog breed, but rather a nickname for the Poodle, which is only called Teddy because it looks like a teddy bear. The Poodle is also known as the “Poodle” because it is considered the national dog by the French people who consider themselves elegant and noble. However, the poodles I’ve seen are always jumping around, which is not elegant at all, but it’s true that they are popular with children because they look like teddy bears.

Corgi.

I’ve always had mixed feelings about Corgis because of our similarly short legs. I’ve personally experienced being taunted that you’re as short as my Corgi. But Corgi has so much energy in his small size that he could be a guard dog for the family. In the movie, you can often see a little bell hanging around his neck as he runs around with children on his short legs.

Jingba.

The Pekingese is an original domestic breed with a history of over four thousand years in China. From the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the Pekingese has been the plaything of the aristocrats in the palace, known as the palace poodle, and has an honored status. Now it has become the most popular pet dog species in China, accounting for more than 30% of the total number of dogs. However, because it is so popular among the people, most of the Pekingese today are mixed breeds. The Pekingese has a small stature and watery eyes, and is very sweet and humane, making it the best choice for accompanying parents.

In addition to the above-mentioned three kinds of dogs, the Bichon Frise with fluffy and curly hair, the Butterfly Dog with butterflies hanging from its ears, and the ugly-looking Pug are also very popular among small dogs. However, due to space limitations, we will not introduce them one by one here. The next issue will bring the introduction of various well-known medium and large breeds of dogs such as the Erha, Golden Retriever, Tibetan Mastiff, etc. The follow-up content is even more exciting!
