The surface and filling of the buns are carefully selected, the production process is strict, and the appearance is beautiful, especially the buns are well-proportioned, with no less than 15 folds in each bun. In 1831 (the 11th year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty), Gao Guiyou, the founder of "Dogfu Baozi", was born in Shuntian Province, Wuqing County, under Zhuzhuang (now Wuqing District, Tianjin City). Because his father got a son in his forties, he named him "Dogzi" for the sake of raising his son in peace, expecting him to be as easy to raise as a puppy. When Gao Guiyou was 14 years old, he went to work as a boy at Liu's Steamed Food Shop along the Southern Canal in Tianjin. Because of his dexterity and diligence, together with the guidance of his masters, Gao Guiyou's bun-making skills continued to grow and he developed a good hand at it. After three years, Gao Guiyou opened a snack store specializing in buns - "Deju No.". Because Gao Guiyou good craftsmanship, do things very seriously, never adulterated, the production of the buns soft, fresh and fragrant, not greasy, shaped like a chrysanthemum, color, smell and shape are unique, business is very prosperous. Come to eat his buns more and more people, Gao Guiyou too busy to talk to customers, so that people eating buns are jokingly referred to as his "dog sells buns, ignore the people". After a long time, people called him "Dog Li" and called the buns he operated "Dog Li Buns", while the original store name was gradually forgotten by people. When Gao Guiyou first created "Deju No." snack store, he used fresh pork with the right amount of water, accompanied by pork rib soup or tripe soup, plus small-ground sesame oil, special soy sauce, minced ginger, minced green onion, flavoring agents, etc., and mixed it into bun filling. The bun skin is made of half-flour dough, which is rolled out into a round skin with a diameter of about 8.5 centimeters and a uniform thickness after being rolled out and placed in a dosage. The buns were wrapped with the filling, carefully pinched and folded with the fingers, while the folds were twisted with force, and the folds were sparsely and densely packed, like the shape of white chrysanthemums, and finally steamed in the furnace with hard air. 1916 (the fifth year of the Republic of China (R.O.C.)), Gao Guiyou passed away after a short illness, and his son, Gao Jinming, succeeded to the industry, and in the following year, he opened a branch in the East Street of Nanshi City, and in 1932 (the twenty-first year of the Republic of China (R.O.C.)), he relocated Houjiahou's old branch to the entrance of the Beidaguan Bridge. 1937 (the twenty-sixth year of the R.O.C.) In 1937 (R.O.C. 26th year), the old number and branch number were merged and moved to the back door of Tianxiang Shopping Center (now Liaoning Road), and set up a new number "Deju No." In 1947 (R.O.C. 36th year), Gao Huanwen, the son of Gao Jinming, inherited the industry, and operated the business until it was closed down in 1952. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in 1956, the Tianjin Municipality nationalized Goubi Baozi and moved the store to Shandong Road in the Heping District, and then set up a branch in Nanshi Food Street. 2001, Goubi Baozi's main store was expanded. With the development of "Dog's Nonsense", the varieties of buns have been innovated on the basis of inheriting the tradition, and gradually formed 6 categories and 98 varieties of buns.

It is said that when Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili, was practicing the new army in Tianjin, he offered the buns as a tribute to Empress Dowager Cixi in Beijing. Empress Dowager Cixi tasted it and said, "Beasts in the mountains, geese in the clouds, land cattle and sheep under the sea fresh, not as good as dog meat flavor is carried forward, eat it for a long life." From then on, the fame of the dog buns, and gradually in many places opened a branch. Three years after the full division, Gao Guiyou has been proficient in making buns of various crafts, and then independent, opened a snack store specializing in buns - "Deju No.". He used a ratio of 3:7 fat and lean fresh pork with the right amount of water, accompanied by pork rib soup or tripe soup, plus small-ground sesame oil, special soy sauce, ginger, onion, minced, seasoning agents, etc., carefully mixed into the bun filling.

As more and more people come to eat his buns, Gao Guiyou too busy to talk to customers, so that people eating buns are jokingly referred to as his "dog sells buns, ignoring people". After a long time, people called him "dog indifferent" and called the buns he operated "dog indifferent buns", while the original store name was gradually forgotten by people. In Tianjin, China, there is a famous baozi store in Tianjin, famous at home and abroad - "dog indifferent". It is rumored that the owner of this baozi store was named Gao Guiyou, and his nickname was "Dogai". According to the legend, Gao Guiyou was very stubborn when he was a child, and when he was stubborn, he didn't even pay attention to the little dog.

Later, Gao Guiyou suddenly came up with a new business idea: put a few large bucket of clean chopsticks on the table in the store, customers want to buy buns, first put the change into the bowl, and then he will be according to the amount of money in the bowl at the price of the buns. Customers finished eating the buns, put down the chopsticks and left the store, and Gao Guiyou was so busy that he did not say a word from the beginning to the end. So the neighbors made fun of him, saying: "Doggie sells buns, ignore everything". Later, the good people in the neighborhood named his baozi store "dog indifferent"; the baozi he made was called "dog indifferent baozi", and Gao Guiyou did not object. The name of the store once spread, known far and wide, has been passed down to today, can be said to be long-lasting.
