How to distinguish the Chinese Field Dog? The Chinese Field Dog is one of the native Chinese breeds and is very similar to the wolf in appearance, with a short mouth and flat forehead; high ear position, small and erect or semi-erect ears, the semi-erect ears are semi-drooping towards the front of the head; the tail is cocked upwards, especially when walking; the medium hair is predominantly coarse and easy to keep clean. The Chinese Field Dog is one of China’s native breeds, with a shoulder height of about 40-55 cm and a weight of about 20-25 kg. It is not very carnivorous and its diet is omnivorous. It is very similar in appearance to the wolf, with a short mouth and flat forehead. It has a wide geographical distribution, mainly south of the Great Wall and east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with the Central Plains as the center of the low-altitude Han concentration area, and is a product of the Chinese Han farming society for thousands of years. Traditionally called “earth dog”, some places in the north are also called “wood dog” and “stupid dog”. There are also small morphological differences between the Chinese Field Dogs of different regions, but they all have common key characteristics. Some friends think that Field Dogs vary greatly from place to place, and their free reproduction genetic instability, as if there are no characteristics, but in fact, if you look closely you can still find its commonality. When you recognize a so-called “earth dog” very casually, you will already be able to identify the field dog by its commonality, only most people do not have these field dog common features specifically refined. Just like the Tibetan mastiff individual differences are also very large, some people say that Tibetan mastiff genetic instability, but when you see a Tibetan mastiff you can easily distinguish is a Tibetan mastiff, that its commonality is greater than the individual differences, the Chinese Field Dog is also the same.
