Formosan Mountain Dogs, often called Taiwan Dogs, are living proof of the diverse canine lineage that is said to have begun in Taiwan. The precise origins of this breed are unknown, however, conventional opinion holds that it descended from native canines brought to the island by the first humans.
For thousands of years, indigenous peoples in Taiwan's mountainous regions have relied on these dogs—known for their primal temperament—as trusted hunting and security dogs. Problems like urbanization and inbreeding with other dog breeds have contributed to the dramatic drop in the population of this once-thriving species.
The Formosan Mountain Dog often called the Taiwanese Dog or the Taiwanese Mountain Dog, is a rare and old breed that has its roots in Taiwan. Its history is closely linked to that of the island's native inhabitants, who have treasured these dogs as family pets and hunting companions for many years.
The Formosan Mountain Dog is a medium-sized dog with a strong physique and a rough look, which it uses to its advantage as it adapts to the varied landscape of Taiwan.
