Kunming Dogs
love strenuous activity, preferably combined with training of some kind,
for these dogs are very intelligent and crave a good challenge.
They need to be taken on a daily, brisk,
long walk, jog or
run alongside you when you bicycle.
If under-exercised, this breed can become
restless and destructive. |

Origin |
The breed was created in the early 1950's
to meet the need for military dogs in Yunnan, the capital of which is Kunming. A
group of 10 dogs was brought to Kunming from a military K9 training program
Beijing in 1953. (Available sources do not state what breed or breeds they
were.) These ten dogs were insufficient for the immediate need, and so 50
suitable household dogs from Kunming were 'recruited' as well as 40 similar dogs
from the city of Guiyang in Guizhou province. After training, the best twenty of
these 90 'civil' dogs were then selected. The 10 'wolf-dogs' dogs from Beijing,
these 20 'civil dogs' plus an additional 10 'shepherd dogs' imported from
Germany constituted the pool from which the Kunming Dog was developed. The
Chinese Public Security Bureau officially recognized the Kunming Dog as a breed
in 1988. Kunming Dogs are now widely used by the Chinese military and police,
and have also found their way into use as civilian watchdogs and guard dogs.
They are less commonly kept as pets, although they do make excellent pets. |
