The Liangshan Dog (Chinese: 凉山犬) is a medium-sized semi-feral scenthound originally bred by the Yi people of Liangshan Yi Prefecture in Sichuan province, China.
[1] Liangshan dogs are prized for their tracking ability, endurance and ferocity while hunting wild boar in mountainous terrain.
[2] Liangshan dogs hunt a variety of prey at variable altitudes and climates and are often deliberately underfed to improve drive to be successful.
Liangshan dogs have triangular eyes, rounded drop ears, a short, double coat and bushy curved tails.
[1] Their heads are black; however, the rest of their body is a mix of reds, yellows, and grey.
