Description |
The
Chongqing Dog is a medium sized dog with a deep brown/mahogany color in a thin
coat. Their ears are erect and their teeth should meet in scissor bite or be
slightly undershot. The teeth should not be visible when the mouth is closed in
a natural position. Males should be muscular and well defined where females
tend to be more streamlined with an air of femininity. |
|
Temperament |
The
Chongqing Dog is noble, alert, intelligent, and dignified. They are good with
respectful children, but can be aloof with dogs they are not familiar with.
Proper leadership and canine to human communication will resolve this. Socialize this working breed well as a puppy with other dogs and non-canine pets. The Chinese Chongqing Dog is
fearless, powerful and muscular. They are natural guard dogs with high drive but
are not suitable for competitive or police bite work. If their owner is not with
them and a stranger approaches, the Chongqing Dog will heighten watchfulness and
make their presence known. If their owner is present, and they see the stranger
is friendly, they will drop their guard even if their owners leave. They are
independent and can be a little stand-offish with strangers at first but are
extremely devoted to their family. Since the Chongqing Dog is an evolutionary breed and not “man made,” their
natural instincts are extremely keen and require a dominant owner that isn’t
heavy handed. They do best with an owner who is calm, but firm, confident and consistent with the rules. |

Health Problems |
Because the
dog's coat is very short and sparse, some Chongqing dogs can develop skin
problems, but it is not common in this breed. A premium diet, preferably human
grade, will significantly reduce the chance of skin problems. Natural selection
has successfully eliminated undesirable traits in the breed. Furthermore, there
has been no inbreeding among the Chongqing dog. Therefore, no known major
health problems exist in the Chongqing dog. |
|
Living Conditions |
The
Chongqing Dog will do okay in an apartment if they are sufficiently exercised
but it isn’t ideal. Breeders in the US usually won’t sell to anyone living in
an apartment. This is a dog of medium size, they do not need a large space, but
they do need regular exercise and they love a nice grassy yard. The Chongqing
Dog tends to prefer quieter moments when at home with their families and will
not do well in a “rowdy” household. |
|
Exercise |
This breed
needs at least 30 minutes of vigorous exercise a day. They make good jogging and
hiking companions or at least need to have a daily, brisk,
long walk. Whether you are walking or jogging it is important that the dog is made to heel beside or behind the human holding the lead. Never in front, as instinct tells a dog the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. The Chinese
Chongqing dog is a natural hunter and should never be allowed to roam without
supervision. |
|
Life Expectancy |
About 18 years. |
|
Grooming |
This breed does not require a lot of
grooming. Bathe only when necessary. |
