The term "Chongqing Dog" may also be used to refer to the Chuandong hound. It is found in Singapore. Both dogs share a common foundation stock and are part of the [[Tugou]].<ref name=Embark>{{Cite web |title=Chinese Chongqing Dog |url=https://embarkvet.com/resources/dog-breeds/chinese-chongqing-dog/ |access-date=2022-04-01 |website=Embarkvet |language=en-US}}</ref>
'''The Chinese Chongqing Dog''' is a rare breed of dog native to the [[Chongqing]] city of [[China]], somewhat like a [[bulldog]]-[[Thai ridgeback]] mix (not, however, descended from either of these) but with a distinct tail, color, and coat. In its early years, it was used for hunting wild boar and rabbits, but it's now used in China to protect families and belongings. They are an ancient, natural breed said to have existed for 2,000 years since the time of the [[Han Dynasty]] in Ancient China. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the breed's numbers were greatly reduced, and only people in rural communities still kept it; the breed is still rare, even in China.

The Chongqing dog may be protective of its family and owners, but if a stranger to the dog is kind and the owner is present, the dog will grow to respect it. They are usually a good family companion.
