Dogs of China & Japan Dogs of China & Japan in nature and art dogsofchinajapan00coll Year: 1921 EASTERN DOGS IN EARLY TIMES three kinds : one, diminutive, short-tailed, with erect ears ; another, long-bodied and long-tailed, long-legged, also with erect ears ; and a third of sturdier build, also long-tailed, and with erect ears. It has been re- marked by zoologists that the semi- domestic dogs of the early inhabitants of many regions of the earth closely resemble the wolf races of the same regions, with these differences, that the domesticated dog is able to bark, while the wolf is able only to howl, and that in the wolf the position or form of the eye is oblique, while the dog has a circular pupil. The wolf is found throughout China. Very few specimens, however, have been secured, and the Chinese races have never been studied by scientists. Similar remarks hold good for the wild dog, or ' tsai-kou ' of the Chinese. Two varieties of the wild-dog (C. alpinus) occur in China, one from the Tibet-Kansu borderland, the other from the Manchurian forests. They are closely related to 5 BHONZE TAZZA (FROM HSI CH'ING KU CHIEN) From ' Chiaese Pottery oJ the Han Dynasty.'. By Berthold Laufer.
