Dogs have always been good partners of human beings, and the history of human beings and dogs is very long. China has a history of keeping dogs in ancient times, but at the beginning, people mainly regarded dogs as working dogs. For example, dogs can play a very good role in guarding homes and grazing cattle and sheep. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that pet dogs began to appear. Pet dogs are mainly western tribute dogs. The breed of dog is petite and lovely, which not only conforms to people's preferences, but also does no harm to people. Therefore, it was quickly loved by many harem women in the palace. It is for this reason that the Western Regions often carry some of these dogs when they trade and pay tribute to China. After they prevailed in the palace, people began to follow suit and gradually multiplied.
However, in the Song Dynasty, people's lives became richer. With the increase in the number of dogs raised in the western regions, dogs gradually exchanged some genes with local breeds, which led to the fact that dogs as pets were not only the patents of dignitaries, but also became an affordable hobby for ordinary people. At that time, women in the Song Dynasty liked to dye their nails with impatiens to keep them bright red for a long time. After many girls dyed themselves, they turned their attention to their pet dogs, so many pet dogs' nails were dyed red at once.
Now we often talk about the Jingba dog, which is probably the offspring of this kind of dog. Jingba dogs used to belong to Beijing local dogs, which can be seen everywhere, but now they are becoming less and less, mainly because people's love for foreign dogs leads to the neglect of local dogs, so many Jingba dogs have also become stray dogs and been killed.
