The Chongqing dog

The Chongqing dog is an ancient mastiff Tugou historically used for hunting and guarding in Chongqing, China. This breed is more than 2000 years old. Chongqings were considered sacred animals that protect the human soul after death on the way to the afterlife. The direct purpose of Chongqing is to hunt small and medium game. And in their free time from hunting, these dogs protected the houses and crops of the Chinese from evil spirits.
