The Liangshan Dog (Chinese: 凉山犬) is a medium-sized scenthound originally bred by the Yi people of Liangshan Yi Prefecture in Sichuan province, China. Liangshan dogs are prized for their tracking ability, endurance and ferocity while hunting wild boar in mountainous terrain. Liangshan dogs hunt a variety of prey at variable altitudes and climates and are often deliberately underfed to improve drive to be successful.
