Bapo Dog

Bapo Dog

　　The Dulong River Gorge was long isolated from the outside world, naturally giving rise to many unique species, among which is the Bapo Dog. This breed was first discovered in Bapo of the Dulong River, hence its name. According to preliminary expert assessments, the Bapo Dog and the dingo are close relatives of the Myanmar wolf and are considered semi-domesticated wild canines. Though small in size, they are exceptionally fierce. According to hunters, when in groups, they dare to fight tigers and bears, so outsiders must be very cautious. To protect this new breed, in 1998, Gongshan Harbor Animal Husbandry Company established the Bapo Dog Conservation Base at an altitude of 1,700 meters in the "National Dulong Wild Yak Protection Base" in Galabo, Gongshan. After years of development, the base has grown considerably in scale. (Nujiang)
