There is a saying among the people, "One dragon, two tigers, three poor and four rich." In fact, this refers to the dog’s beard. Yilong means that the dog has only one beard on its chin, which means that it is of high quality and is one of a kind. Erhu refers to a dog with two beards on its chin. Such a dog is as ferocious as a tiger.

Sanqiong means three whiskers. Such a dog is very common and will not be brought to the owner. What good is it? It will only make the owner poorer and poorer. It is best not to raise it. The four riches refer to four beards. Dogs with this characteristic are particularly loyal, capable of looking after homes and homes, and can keep wealth for their owners.
