The war dog that followed Genghis Khan’s expedition to Europe-Mongolian fine dog
Mongolian fine dog, which originated in the Liao Dynasty, and Mongolian fine dog existed and existed in the Liao Dynasty. Beloved by the Khitan royal family, the Khitan nobles bred them from the excellent breed dogs that the Khitan nobles obtained from the Mongolians who lived in the Ergun River valley at that time. The Mongolians have deep feelings for hounds and regard them as their loyal partners.
According to the "Yuandu Chengzhi" and related historical records, when Genghis Khan was in Europe, he brought many Mongolian fine dogs for warning and hunting purposes. These brave and agile dogs have built up Qixun in the war. Later, the dogs were scattered among the people and reproduced naturally. But in the 21st century, it has become a rare species. Only in the eastern part of China's inner Mongolia, there are a few in the northeast.
The Mongolian fine dog has a rectangular body, a wide abdominal cavity, a smooth waist but not slender, a loose abdominal skin, and a slight arch on the back. The body structure is very suitable for high-speed running. With a strong and smooth sense of movement.
This kind of dog is tall and robust, fast, sensitive in smell, and powerful in fighting ability. Generally, a Mongolian fine dog can fight against a wolf alone, and two or more can be easily controlled Large prey, strong and fierce and tenacious; loyal to the owner, easy to train and cultivate, have a strong desire to search and track in the wild, can be hunted for a long time and long distance after discovering the prey; have a strong sense of territory at home, in some areas It is still used as a guard dog.
Because of its excellent hunting performance, fast running ability and resistance to rough feeding, the Mongolian fine dog used to be the main hunting dog in the Northeast for a long time. In large areas such as Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and eastern Inner Mongolia, there are a large number of living populations.
Now with the increase in population, people of all ethnic groups who use hunting as a means of survival have diverted. With the introduction of a large number of foreign dog breeds, the status of Mongolian fine dogs has plummeted. The best is not others, the best is ourselves. Our great ancestors must leave the species that are most suitable for this fast land to future generations. We should not insult the wisdom of our ancestors, or simply abandon history and tradition. Let us cherish our handed down treasure-Mongolian fine dog!
