Dogs can be breed quickly and easily, as such, in the povertized areas of China the poor would eat anything they could get thier hands on. chicken, pigeon, turtle, dog, etc. One of the bigger bred dogs in China is the Chow, usually 40lbs or more. An American tourist in the 19th century came across poor chinese eating meat and asked what it was, they replied "chow."
