Fo-Chon

Fo-Chon History

The Fo-Cho is a dog originating from Taiwan. It is believed to be the product of a cross between the Chow Chow and the Shih Tzu. It has also been called the “Puppy Chow”, the “Soochow”, the “Little Lion Dog”, the “Taiwanese Wolfdog”, the “Taishan”, the “Tsai-Shu”, the “Shih-Tzu-chow” and the “Rou-Ming”. The Taiwanese government undertook a program in the 1950s to repopulate the island with the native Formosan wolf. These wolves were crossed with Tibetan wolves to produce the Formosan Mountain Dogs, who were then used as family guardians. The Fo-Cho was bred from these dogs and from a group of mixed-breed dogs. The cross-breeding was done in an attempt to create a smaller version of the Formosan Mountain Dog. However, the crosses were unsuccessful because the male Formosan was sterile (inbred), and the females were infertile. As a result, the offspring were a mixture of both eastern and western types. The cross-breeding experiment was successful, however, and the dogs are similar to the Formosan in build, but have shorter legs and a thicker coat.
