Pet dogs appeared in our country a long time ago. At first, they were special breeds of tribute dogs from foreign countries. They were pets that only dignitaries could afford. In the Song Dynasty, many people liked to use impatiens to dye their nails. After dyeing their hands, they turned their attention to their pets and took pleasure in it.
Dogs have always been good partners of human beings, and humans have been accompanying dogs for a long time. There was a history of raising dogs in ancient my country, but at the beginning, people mainly kept dogs as pets. They can be regarded as working dogs. For example, dogs can be very helpful in guarding homes and nursing homes, herding cattle and sheep. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that pet dogs gradually began to appear. The pet dogs are mainly Futon dogs from the Western Regions. The dogs are petite and cute. Their appearance is not only in line with people's preferences, but they also do not cause harm to people. Therefore, they quickly gained the love of many harem women in the palace. It is for this reason that later, when the Western Regions were trading with our country and paying tribute, they often carried some of these whisked dogs. After they became popular in the palace, the people began to follow suit and gradually multiplied and grew.
However, during the Song Dynasty, people's lives became more affluent, and the number of fern dogs from the Western Regions gradually increased with the breeding, and some genes were exchanged with local dog breeds, resulting in dogs As a pet, it is not just a patent for the nobles, but has become a hobby that ordinary people can afford. At that time, women in the Song Dynasty liked to use impatiens flowers to dye their nails, which could keep the bright red color for a long time. After dyeing themselves, many girls turned their attention to their pet dogs, so there were many pets at that time. The dog's nails are stained red.
The Pekingese we often call now is probably the descendant of this kind of dog. The Pekingese was once a local dog in Beijing and could be seen everywhere, but now it has slowly become more common. There have become very few, mainly because people's love for exotic dog breeds has led to the neglect of local dog breeds. Therefore, many Pekingese have become stray dogs and been hunted.
