chongqin dog
Chinese Chongqing Dog is an ancient and unique breed, thought to have been in existence since the Han dynasty in China. The origin of this breed is Chongqing, located in the southwestern region of the China. The Chinese Chongqing Dogs are used for hunting (scent hound) and protection of the home, they are good working dog and family companion. Few people know the breed in the world. It is even rare in China. The Chinese Chongqing Dog is noble, alert, intelligent, and dignified. They are good with children, but can be aggressive with dogs they are not familiar with. You should be careful when taking them for walks. The Chongqing Dog should not be trusted with non-canine pets. In the past they have been used for hunting rabbits and wild boars and most of them still retain the instinct to chase other animals. However, if they are raised with cats and other small animals such as chickens, ducks, or geese, they can live happily along side them because they can be taught that these animals are their masters property. The Chinese Chongqing Dog is fearless, powerful and muscular. They make good guard dogs. In China, many are trained to protect their families and their belongings. This breed requires a dominant owner. The Chinese Chongqing Dogs are guard dog. If their owners are not with them, and a stranger approaches, the Chongqing Dog will heighten watchfulness and prepare for action. But if their owners are on the scene, it is different. When they see a stranger is friendly with their owners, they will be nice to them, even if their owners leave. They are independent and standoffish with strangers, but are extremely devoted to their family and trustworthy with children.
Because the Chinese Chongqing Dog's coat is very short and sparse, some will have skin problems, but it is not common in this breed. The Chongqing dog has been a working breed for thousands of years, specially for hunting and guarding properties. Natural selection has successfully eliminated undesirable traits in the breed. Furthermore, there has been little inbreeding and planned breeding among the Chongqing dog. Therefore, no known major health problems exist in the Chongqing dog.
The Chinese Chongqing Dog needs at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. They make good jogging companions. Males need more exercise than the females. The Chinese Chongqing dog is a natural hunter and should never be allowed to roam without supervision.

To Digress.....Hachiko..
Life
In 1924, Hachikō was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesamurō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life, Hachikō saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Uyeno didn't return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.
Hachiko was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. After time, Hachi apparently realized that Professor Uyeno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachiko waited for Uyeno to return. And each day he didn't see his friend among the commuters at the station.
The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachiko attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachi and Professor Uyeno together each day. Realizing that Hachiko waited in vigil for his dead master, their hearts were touched. They brought Hachiko treats and food to nourish him during his wait.
This continued for 10 years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station. [1]
[edit] Publication
That same year, another of Ueno's former students (who had become something of an expert on Akitas) saw the dog at the station and followed him to the Kobayashi home where he learned the history of Hachikō's life. Shortly after this meeting, the former student published a documented census of Akitas in Japan. His research found only 30 purebred Akitas remaining, including Hachikō from Shibuya Station.
Ueno's former student returned frequently to visit the dog and over the years published several articles about Hachikō's remarkable loyalty. In 1932 one of these articles, published in Tokyo's largest newspaper, threw the dog into the national spotlight. Hachikō became a national sensation. His faithfulness to his master's memory impressed the people of Japan as a spirit of family loyalty all should strive to achieve. Teachers and parents used Hachikō's vigil as an example for children to follow. A well-known Japanese artist rendered a sculpture of the dog, and throughout the country a new awareness of the Akita breed grew.
[edit] Death
Hachikō died on March 8, 1935, of filariasis (heartworm). His stuffed and mounted remains are kept at the National Science Museum in Ueno, Tokyo.[2] - wikipedia
