The Chongqing dog (Chinese: 重庆犬; pinyin: Chóngqìng quǎn) is an ancient mastiff Tugou historically used for hunting and guarding in Chongqing, China.[1][2][3] Today this breed is prized as a fearless and tough protector of their family and home.[2][4]

The term "Chongqing Dog" may also be used to refer to the Chuandong hound. It is found in Singapore. Both dogs share a common foundation stock and are part of the Tugou.[5]
