Breed History
There is disagreement about the origin of the Baggio dog. One theory is that this dog originated in China, and was brought back to Europe in the 16th century by the Portuguese and Spanish. Later, French, Italian, and Russian people also successively brought Baggio dogs back to China, and after improvement and breeding, they became widespread in Europe. Another view is that this dog originated in the Scottish Highlands and was then brought to Asia by Dutch merchants from the Far East. However, most people agree that this dog is an Eastern breed, originating from the short-haired dogs of Beijing, with its original ancestor in Northeast China, which was called 'Habu Dog' by the Manchus. Later, it was obtained through the crossbreeding of 'Bull Terrier' and became widely popular because of its peculiar appearance and lively and cute personality. Now, Baggio has reached the whole world and is loved by the elderly.

Feeding Instructions
Baggio dogs are lively and playful, and are a common family pet. However, raising Baggio dogs is not an easy task. First, you must give Baggio dogs a certain amount of activity time every day to meet their exercise needs. However, this dog's respiratory tract is particularly short, and it should not be subjected to vigorous exercise, otherwise it will cause hypoxia due to rapid breathing, so it is best to take it for a walk in the morning and evening. When going out, you must put a collar on it to limit its strenuous movement. In addition, Baggio dogs are also quite gluttonous, and never know what it feels like to be full, so you must control the amount of food. Feeding should be regular and timely to establish good eating habits.
