Chinese Frise History
The Chinese Crested is a hairless breed of domestic dog that originated in China. It is believed to be one of the oldest purebred dogs in the world. The furless nature of the Chinese Crested led it to be nicknamed the “Chinese Lion Dog” or “Lion Head”. The origin and history of the Chinese Crested is shrouded in mystery, but it is likely descended from the Molossus, an ancient mastiff-type dog that was native to Asia. The Molossus was bred to be fierce, powerful, and fearless. It is believed that the Molossus was crossed with Oriental and African dogs to create the early ancestors of the Chinese Crested.
