Fu Dogs are an extremely powerful protection for your home or business; you will find most homes or business in Asia complemented by a pair either inside or outside. Out of all the cures and enhancers in Feng Shui, Fu Dogs in our opinion are the most essential. They come in all shapes and sizes and some of the homes I have visited all over the world display some of the most magnificent pairs I have seen especially the ones in Asia.

Probably the most impressive are from the Beijing’s Forbidden City as shown below, these are really amazing to see.

They are also know as guardian Lions, lion dogs, or temple lions. We consult on hundreds of homes and business each year and around 70% will have Fu Dogs either placed by the door or windowsills, I would also say that 50% are placed in the wrong order, check below for confirmation.

Where do I place Fu Dogs in 2018?

For protection in 2018 you should place a pair of Fu Dogs – temple Lions in the southeast if they are red coloured or in the north if they are made from metal,  especially if you have a main door in either of these locations. As with all Feng Shui cures and enhancers you should make sure you cleanse all your symbolic ornaments. We cleanse all ours every 3-4 months by washing them and then placing them outside in a full moon or direct sunlight for at least 2-3 hours. By doing this you cleanse them of negative energy and empower them with positive Sheng qi energy.

You will find many variations on web sites, some will have a ball under one paw others will have a Cub under another paw, the most important thing to remember is the order placement and not which foot the ball or cub is under.

The male lion, holding a ball under his left or right paw should be placed on the left side (as you are looking out of a door or window).

The female lion, holding a cub under her right or left paw is placed on the right side.

  2. Hello, I have a male(w/ball) and female (w/cub) statue foo dogs on its own platform. They are brownish gray looking when I ordered said brown. My question: I am wanting to put foo dogs outside my front garage door (facing south) on each side (Of the main garage door). We have such a small front door entry No room for foo dogs). Can this be done? Or should I place them on each side of the sliding backdoor outside (facing North)?

    Note: I have two male dogs in front of my lamps in the house in front of a window as decoration facing North into my kitchen, where the back sliding doors for backyard, I originally bought them-the store did not have a female, hence the reason why I have two male in the house.

    1. Hi Renee,

      I would place the Fu Dogs either side of the garage door. You could also place them on the inside of your front door, looking out.

  3. I recently bought a pair of used marble Foo dog from facebook marketplace. I have placed it in front door entrance facing south. Just wondering it’s coincidence or it bring bad omen. My jade bracelet broke then after my father in law passed away, follows by my greatfather in law. All happened within a week. I wonder if I should give it away.

    1. Hi Ray,

      You are better off buying them from a garden centre or similar and make sure you follow the advice on this page for placement, male and female etc. Also make sure they are not too big or small and better as you said to a medium size.

      Good luck

      The Fu Dogs will be fine if placed inside. I would have them facing to the outside of the home.

      1. Hi!

        I had a nice pair of small ceramic foo dogs that i kept in my kitchen for good luck (near a main door where people enter). A person working in my house broke one and tried to glue it together and it’s terribly ruined, can’t sit anymore. How do I “dispose” of them without offending spirits or tradition?

          Sorry to hear about your Fu dogs. I would dispose of them by wrapping them in cloth or tissue and carefully place them in a bin outside of your home.

      I would place these outside your front door for protection.

      If you were starting towards your front door, you would have the Fu Dog with the ball on the right side looking out and the Fu Dog with the cub on the left side.

  8. Hello! I just bought a large, male foo dog at the garden store (he’s got a ball under his right foot). I now realize I need to go back and purchase the female – however, I do not see anything under either of her feet. There are no other foo dog varieties aside from these two, so I am assuming that this one is, in fact, the mate of the one I purchased. Can this be correct, or will the female always have a cub? I do have photos if that would be of assistance to you. These will go in our back garden. Thank you very much for your help!

    1. Hi Dewi,

      You can place them both on their own although they will not be as effective and is better placed in pairs to complete the energy. I would place one by the front door and one by the back door.

  12. Hi,
    I have two red fu dogs, my porch is in the south east corner of my house. However the door into the house is on one side, the porch extends sideways. Do I need to put them either side of the front door or can I put them either side of the window next to the door? And would I put them in front or behind my rubber plant?

    1. Hi Louise,

      It’s hard to visualise but I would have the Fu Dog’s facing on to the main entrance of your home looking out to the busiest part. This can be in a window looking out or by your front door.

      I hope this helps.

    I have a pair of fu dogs. And I’m not sure how to place them because their heads are turned 90 degrees. The left paw up is facing left and right paw is up facing right. Do I still place the paws up closest to the door? But they will be facing each other…

  20. I have a pair of porcelain colourful foo dogs. Too precious and breakable to put outside. My question is where to best place these in my house. Our front door faces east. I have a shelf inside on the south side of the door that they can go on. I can also put them on a small table in the entryway facing out. The table will be about 6 feet from the front door if that is a consideration. I also have an upstairs window that faces east that I can put them on. What is your recommendation? Would anyof these work? Is one location better than the other? We have neighbours that we need to counteract the negativity from their home. They live on the south side of us.

    Thank you so much for your assistance.

    1. Hi Joy,

      I would place them in the inside of your front door facing outwards if possible on a small table. They are usually best placed by the front door looking out so if you cannot put them outside, inside looking out is the next best option.

  21. My tiny son on visiting a garden somehow unknown to me (at the time) managed to take concrete ball from the feng shui dog paw. It has stayed with us for many years! Would this have some attachment or meaning if placed somewhere? My eldest son was always quite amazed that he was able to take it from under the paw. Lynn

    1. Hi Lynn,

      This all comes down to personal choice if you want to keep it or not although I would personally dispose of it unless it has sentimental meaning.

    2. If my child had done that, I’d have taken him back to the garden to return the ball and apologize for stealing. I guess nobody believes in teaching kids right from wrong anymore. Regardless of sentimental value, a stolen object would have negative energy.

  22. I have a pair of green faux jade Fu dogs. I live in an apartment on the 3rd floor (of 6)t. The building entrance is facing North, and my apartment entrance also faces north. They frown upon placing any objects outside doorways, so I’d like to place them inside my apartment. What is the most beneficial way to place my male and female fu dogs inside my apartment, and how do I position them, facing out or in?

  23. Hi,

    I have brass Fu Dogs and my main entrance location is south. Can I place them on my top cupboard which is West facing South? That’s the closest to the door entrance? Or for this year it has to be north facing north? I have already a lot of cures placed in the north so I was wondering where else can I put them and which direction should they face? Many thanks.

    1. Hi Gracearz,

      These would be great in the west, facing towards the south as this will help weaken the annual #2 located here.

    Thanks.

  25. Hi,

    If you get a tattoo of fu dogs on your back. Would female be facing left side of back or right side?

    it’s based on where you are facing right? Or is it based on where the building/structure/body is.

    Example.

    If I look at your back. Female Fu dug is on your left shoulder blade. Male on Right shoulder blade. Correct?

    Or would it be vice versa because you are facing forward therefore the female should be on your right shoulder blade and male on the left. ??

    Reply

    1. Hi,

      If I was standing behind you, looking towards your back, you would have the female on the left and the male on the right looking towards me.

  27. Hi apparently I have a beautiful orange male fu dog with jewels on it sitting on my dressing table . I was unaware it is a fu dog until one of my mother”s friend told her yesterday. The dressing table it is on is facing the doorway of the bedroom. Should I remove it from the bedroom? If so, can I place it outside the bedroom door?

    Otherwise shall I place it on the left hand side of my entrance on the inside as I already have four fu doors guarding the entrance on the front porch.

  31. Hi,

    I have two fu dogs, but one is a white jade and the other is a light green jade. I made the mistake of not realizing that I should probably have two of the same color and I was financially strapped at the time. I remember the seller mentioned something about pairs, but I asked if I could get one of each because of the different jade colors and they said yes. There were other colors of jade, but I only opted for those two. I bought these when I was traveling several years ago.

    I am not sure if I have a male and female, but neither have a cub or ball underneath. Each has either the left or right paw stretched out.

    I have photos of the two at different angles. Please let me know the best way to upload or send the files.

    1) Should I still display them or keep them in the box?

    2) Which one is the male and the female?

    3) We have a bit of a short wall separation between our main entrance and the living area upon entering the house. The fu dogs are too small to place outside of our door.
    A) Could I place it on the floor inside to either side of the respective door facing out?
    B) Or should I place it on that short wall, which is almost parallel to the door and make sure it lines up with one on each side of the length of the door?
    C) Or can I place them next to each other on the wall facing the door outward, which means when people enter, they will see them sitting together in the middle of the wall almost.
    D) I do have a wall opening that is a bit further, that is in the same line of the sight as the main entrance and the short wall, then this wall opening, kind of diagonal when lined up, would it be okay to put it there too? It would still be facing outwards towards the door.

    Thank you for any insight you can give.

  34. Hi Michael,

    I have very strong winds going through both of the balconies in my high-floor apartment. Since moving here few months ago, I feel like my ‘good luck’ had been blown away. I am wondering if I can place a pair of fu dogs at the balconies to ‘protect my luck’? If so, how should I do it? Would it be at the entrance to the balcony or perhaps at the extreme ends of the balcony itself? By the way, one balcony is at the eastern part of the home, the other is at the western side. Can I place the fu dogs at both balconies?

  36. I have a pair of large outdoor Fu Lions I inherited from my parents. They are green ceramic, probably from Thailand, Cambodia or Vietnam. I have a small space to the left of my front door (looking outward) where I put the male. However there is NO space to put the female. I do have space on the back patio on the right side of the door (looking out) where she can go. This would be proper placement of both but NOT together. Can I separate the two? Would this unbalance the energy/ feng shui? Also, doors face West and East respectively. So if they can’t be separated is one entrance better than the other?

    1. Hi Karla,

      Fu Dogs are always better placed in pairs if possible. If you have room in the inside of your front door, you can place them facing towards the outside of the house.

      If you do not have space by the front door, I would recommend placing them by the back door.

      Yes, the Fu Dogs will be fine indoors. You need to have the female lion, holding a cub under her right or left paw is placed on the right side.

      Kind regards,

  49. Hi,
    Just purchased a pair of red/brown coloured jade Fu Lions. Was advised by the seller that this is the youngest son of the Dragon. Have no ball or cub under their paws. One having the right paw in front and the other left paw front. (With me facing them) Both with mouths open. Can you please advise, how do I tell which is male and female. Is it ok to place them about 3 feet apart with other items in between. Have been advised to place this pair facing the front door to invite good luck coming in and repel bad luck. Is this the case.

    Looking forward to your feedback and thanking you in advance.

    Regards
    Robert

  50. I want to get two male foo dogs with balls on my feet but not sure if the foot holding the balls should be in the inner or outter of each foot? Could you please help me with right placement. Thanks

    1. Hi Marcos,

      The correct placement for Fu Dogs is to have the female lion, holding a cub under her right or left paw is placed on the right side.

      Kind regards,

  52. Michael, I’m just starting my research, but great comments, thank you. Have a weird question for you. I want to get fu dogs tattooed on both sides of my chest. I have peonies and chrysanthemums on my left arm and am doing more masculine on my right. Traditionally, I’d now have to get the male with the flowers and the female with the masculine side. Trying to nail the culture and tradition down right. Any issues with the above, or does it even matter mixing male with female elements, female with masculine elements? Really want to get this right as I’m adopting Some eastern culture into my life.

  53. Hello, I have a small pair I would like to place near my front door. Unfortunately, due to a brick wall next to the door, I cannot place one on both sides of the door. Can I place the pair on just one side of the door, next to each other? Thank you

  54. Hi
    Can I place a poster of fu dogs couple above the front door? And, is placing small statues of them on the top of the pillars of the main door(outer most, after which the road begins) correct?
    Kindly suggest me.
    Thanks.

  55. Thank you for the reply,I\’m assuming that if I get a female foo dog it would be placed on the left side since the male is on the right.

    1. Hi Penelope,

      Yes that is right, the easiest way to spot the female is that they will have the cub under their foot.

    1. Hi Penelope,

      If the Fu Dog is inside the home, it should be on the right side facing outwards. The male Fu Dog should always be placed on the right side of a door.

      Kind regards,

  57. Hello if just bought 2 of these and they are placed under a window on the floor the correct way round but facing a door which is on the other side of the room is this OK or better placed by the door facing the window? Thanks kelly

    1. Hi Kelly,

      I would recommend placing them on the windowsill, facing out of the window to the outside of your home for protection.

      Kind regards,

    1. Hi Trigger,

      I would not recommend having them all over the house but they will be fine by all entrances and exits of the home.

      Kind regards,

  59. I rearranged my playroom (once more, LOL, attempting to figure
    out the very best layout!) and wondering about this.

  60. I can\’t place my Fu Dogs outside for fear that they may be stolen or accidentally broken. They are too large for the windowsill, yet are too small and wouldn\’t be proportionate for my front door. I would prefer to keep them in the house. Please let me know where they can be placed on my living room. Thank you for your input and help!

      You can place it on its own although it will not be as effective and is better placed in pairs to complete the energy.

  63. I have 2 Fu Dogs that are blue and made of stone, and were given to me as gifts years ago. One has it\’s mouth open, the other does not. They do not have anything under their paws. I have the Fu Dog with it\’s mouth closed in my son\’s bedroom, and I have the other with it\’s mouth open on a shelf in an open area between my kitchen and living room, facing toward my front door and window. I put them like this today because all the negative energy would go out of the mouth and out of the door (I had them in reverse order prior to today, and wanted protection on both floors and especially my son\’s room).A Is this correct? I cannot place them in a pair on the windowsill, as there is no room. Any suggestion that you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    1. Hi Janine,

      I would recommend placing them together outside your front door as they will work in synergy when placed together. The correct placement is displayed on this page.

  64. I have 2 Fu Dogs that are blue and made of stone. They were given to me as a gift many years ago and none of them have a ball or cub under their paw. The only difference between these 2 is that one\’s mouth is open and the other one\’s closed. I have the one with the mouth closed in my son\’s bedroom, pointing towards the door, and I have the other one (mouth open) on a shelf between the kitchen and living room, facing towards the window and door. Then my sister told me that I should switch them, because she heard that the negative energy would go out of the mouth towards the door. Is this correct? I know that they should go on a windowsill, but they can\’t fit. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  67. Is it suitable to place the dogs in a window? My living room window faces a church and I would like to balance the energy, but it is in the south of the house.

    Reply

  68. They should always be in pairs, Male (supremacy) female (nurture) often the male is used solo for power. There needs to be a balance.

    Mostly in western culture are they referred to as dogs, they are lions.

    The are a beautiful creatures and have an aura about them that cant be denied.
