According to historical records, as early as 4600 BC, dogs were used for hunting, guarding and attacking enemies.

During the First World War, Germany, France, Britain and other countries used tens of thousands of military dogs for war. During World War II, a military dog of the former Soviet Union cracked more than 300 major cases.

In 1950s, they were divided into two military dog teams and moved to Heilongjiang and Kunming. By the early 1960s, military dog teams had been established in all major military regions, and a large number of military dogs were bred and trained, which played an important role in national defense construction.
