Fu quan (福犬), also known as xiong quan (熊犬), long quan (龍犬), tian quan (天犬), Chinese foo dog, Chinese foo and Chinese temple forest dog, is a rare working dog breed that originated in China. Due to the fu quan's rarity, they are on the list of endangered and protected species of China.^[1]

The fu quan has been present in China for at least 3,000 years ago. There are multiple origins theorized, including that the fu quan was originally a mix of Northern Europe's wolves and Chow Chows and another being a mixture of Chinese wolves and Chow Chows. Fu quan are versatile working dogs. The Chinese use fu quan as a shepherd dog, hunting dog, guard dog and sled dog. Today, the fu quan can also be used as a companion dog.^[2]

In addition to being used as working dogs, Fu Quan are also the mascots of Chinese temples and are considered by the Chinese to bring good luck.^[3] Because Fu Quan were believed to bring good fortune, they were used as national symbols during the Tang dynasty.^[4]

The fu quan is spitz tugou with a compact, square-shaped body, broad head, pricked ears, deep chest, muscular loin, and a tail that is carried over their back.^{[citation needed]} This dog has a thick, rough coat that comes in a variety of colors, such as silver, blue, black, brown, or red.^{[citation needed]}
