Toy Fo-Chon

Toy Fo-Chon History

The Fo-Cho is a medium-sized, toy breed of Chinese hairless dog. The origin of the name “Fo-Cho” is unknown, but may be derived from the Ancient Korean word fo-chon-bok meaning “hairless”. The Fo-Cho is believed to have originated from the the Korean Peninsula. It is thought the ancestor of the Fo-Chang was the chou-hua, or “flower lion”, and the hou-yuan, or “sacred mutt”. The chou-hua was an ancient Chinese myth about a mythical, white lion that guarded temples, while the hou-yuan was a variety of mixed-breed dog that was kept by the Taoist priests. The chou-hua and the hou-yuan were crossed with local breeds of dogs, resulting in a type of skin-and-hairless, or hairless, furred dog. The hou-yuan was believed to be a “living Buddha” by some, and in the 4th century AD the hou-yuan was protected and worshipped by the local Chinese.

Toy Fo-Chon Activity Requirements

The Toy Fo-Chon is a small, athletic dog. They are intelligent and loyal, making them great companions and family pets. They are “little clowns” that like to make people laugh. While they are not as high energy as some other breeds, most Toy Fo-Chons will still want a daily walk. This will help keep them physically fit and mentally stimulated. Daily walks are also a great way to bond with your Toy Fo-Chon. If you have the time and the means, you might consider taking your dog to doggy day care once or twice a week. This will give them a chance to socialize with other dogs and burn off some energy. A “puppy playgroup” might be a good option for younger, more active dogs.
