With the improvement of people's living standards, many people have begun to keep pets, among which dogs are definitely the choice of many people. Dogs that are more common in cities, such as Huskies, Samoyeds, and Teddy, all have very beautiful appearances and lively personalities, but these dogs are actually excellent foreign dog breeds. Nowadays in China, many people also prefer foreign breed dogs. In contrast, the development of my country's native dogs has not been good. Many once-excellent native dog breeds are now endangered.

The most famous dog breed in my country is probably the Tibetan Mastiff, which is native to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Because of the harsh environment there, it has developed its ferocious temperament. But now when it comes to Tibetan Mastiffs, many people will definitely say: Hey, Tibetan Mastiffs have been overhyped, and they are not as powerful as foreign XX dogs. It is true that the Tibetan Mastiff is praised too high now and then fell down from the height, but as an ancient dog breed with a history of thousands of years, its ability must not be low.

In addition to the Tibetan Mastiff, there is another kind of dog in my country that was also famous in the world, that is, the Xiasi Dog. It is the only world-class hound breed in my country and is listed as the "Chinese Famous Hunting Dog" ranked third in the world's famous dogs. Although the current development is not very good, it is very likely to become a new dog breed for Chinese police. This is also a big encouragement to native dogs. However, in comparison, a dog breed with the same ancestor as it is in a bit of a miserable situation.

This kind of dog is the bearded dog that was once widely distributed in Hunan. How miserable is it? It is difficult to find relevant information on the Internet, and most of them are spontaneous questions from netizens. Bearded dogs are common in Hunan, Liuyang, Xiangxi and Xuefeng Mountain where there are more well-bred dogs. There are many kinds of fur colors of bearded dogs. What is more distinctive about it is that the hair on its mouth is longer, similar to a Schnauzer. In terms of character, the bearded dog is a wild dog breed, and has a more violent temper than the lower dog.

In the mountainous areas of western Hunan, many local residents live a relatively primitive life, and many people rely on hunting for a living. In this environment, bearded dogs live in deep mountains and old forests all year round. Sometimes they have to hunt for food on their own in the mountains, so they are full of wildness and extremely ferocious. It has a strong housekeeping ability. If a stranger dares to take things randomly in the territory it protects, the bearded dog will not just give a warning.

However, the number of this kind of dogs has become less and less nowadays. There are reasons for the living environment, and because most of the native dogs are free-range and free-range, so bearded dogs with good bloodlines are basically impossible to find. Maybe the bearded dog is not as handsome as the foreign fierce dogs, but it is adaptable, easy to raise, has excellent housekeeping skills, and has many advantages. The editor still hopes that the bloodline of this kind of dog can be preserved.
