A study of dogs living in Taiwan in 1980 showed that there was still a dog breed unknown to science on the island, which was subsequently assigned to the pariah dogs . The dog has been at home here since ancient times and served the indigenous population as a hunting dog. The breed was provisionally recognized by the FCI in 2004 and recognized in 2015.
