BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY
Taiwan Dogs are originally native Taiwanese dogs,
descendants of the South Asian hunting dogs called “Pariah dog” which
ancient local inhabitants used to live with in the central mountainous
districts. This breed was the loyal companion of the ancient hunter in
the wild forest. In 1980, a cooperative study was carried out by the
National Taiwan University, Japan Gifu University and Nagoya University
Scholars on the subject of native Taiwan dogs, by visiting twenty-nine
tribes of local inhabitants. As a result, it was confirmed that the
present Taiwan Dog is a descendant of the South Asian hunting dogs.
This breed is now popular all across the island as a watch and companion
dog.
