Most popular Chinese dog breeds in the world
Shih Tzu
This is a breed originally from Tibet and strongly linked to Buddhism. The puppies are very calm and need to rest a lot. Some get to sleep about 14 hours a day. This decreases with age, but not too much, since it is estimated that an adult dog enjoys about 12 hours of sleep daily. Despite this characteristic, they are used as guardians and their most visible characteristic is their long, straight hair, and it is believed that the Asians saw them as “living carpets”.
Pekingese
It is a breed originating from Tibet. It is very territorial and they are quite lazy and independent animals , which results in them not being obedient or disciplined. Although they have a lot of character, they love comfort. It measures between 15 and 23 centimeters and weighs between 3 and 5 kilos.
Chow Chow
The Chow Chow is one of the breeds of dogs that need the most attention. Many experts brand them as egomaniacs for their need to always be the center of attention, so it is not recommended that a person give them a soft training because they could end up putting themselves at the service of their own pet. It is also one of the most expensive breeds in the world. Some of the most expensive copies reach prices between 8,000 and 10,000 euros.
Sharpei First
of all, we must say that there are two types of Sharpei: the American and the Chinese. The Shar pei is one of the most peculiar dogs that existand this is due to the wrinkles that surround their entire body and face that are especially abundant and thick when they are puppies and in the juvenile stage. As it reaches adulthood, they soften or disappear in some areas, remaining more visible on the head, withers and neck.
Here we show you a series of curiosities about this beautiful breed.
Pug
This breed is very peculiar due to the physique they have. They are calm and very docile and although they are on the list of the least barking , it is true that they can have episodes of many barks. They are calm dogs that prefer to sit on an armchair and eat, which predisposes them to be obese animals.
