In Guangzhou, owning a Chinese Rural Dog (also known as a Chinese native dog or ‘Tu Gou’) is generally prohibited. This is primarily due to their perceived unstable temperament, strong guarding instincts, and fierce loyalty to their owners. These traits can unfortunately lead to aggression, especially in densely populated urban environments. Consequently, many cities have placed them on the list of banned breeds.

The Chinese Rural Dog is a native breed to China. Their strong territorial nature and protectiveness can make them prone to aggression if they feel their owners are threatened. Such behavior poses a significant risk in urban areas, causing fear and potential harm to those around them. The breed’s vigilance and tendency to defend their perceived territory are the reasons behind their ban in Guangzhou.

Furthermore, a significant number of stray dogs are of the Chinese Rural Dog breed. This increases the risk of disease transmission, including rabies, and potential dog bite incidents. These factors have led many cities to prohibit keeping Chinese Rural Dogs as pets. If you must have one, consider raising it in a remote rural area. If you already have a Chinese Rural Dog, it's your responsibility to ensure they are properly vaccinated, registered, and never abandoned.

How Much Does a Chinese Rural Dog Cost?

Chinese Rural Dogs are among the most affordable dogs on the market. Typically, a standard Chinese Rural Dog can cost around 100 yuan. If the dog has a particularly attractive coat, with good shine, the price can go slightly higher, reaching a few hundred yuan. Many of these dogs live in rural areas and are often given away rather than sold, especially when they are puppies.
