The origin of the name of "Dog Buns" is that it was founded by Gao Guiyou in the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty.

Dog Li Baozi began in the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, and was founded by Gao Guiyou, a native of Xi Zhuzhuang, Wuqing County, Zhili Province, who was nicknamed "Dogzi", and who had lived in Tianjin since he was a child, and worked as a helper and an apprentice in the Liu's Steam Eating Shop on the banks of the South Canal at that time. Gao Guiyou mastered the art of making baozi and other noodle dishes for three years, and then started a snack shop named "Deju No.", specializing in baozi.

With the help and apprenticeship of Liu's Steam Eating Shop along the South Canal, Gao Guiyou spent three years mastering the art of making buns and other noodle dishes, and then opened a snack store named "Deju No.", specializing in buns.

Because of the Deju No. of the buns color, flavor and shape are excellent, business is very prosperous, Gao Guiyou too busy to care about talking to customers, so many customers are jokingly referred to as "the dog sells the buns, ignore the people". Over time, people shouted smoothly, called him "dog indifferent" and the buns he operated were thus named "dog indifferent buns".

Yuan Shikai, who was the governor of Zhili during the training of the new army in Tianjin, offered the buns as a tribute to Empress Dowager Cixi in Beijing. Empress Dowager Cixi tasted it and said, "The beasts in the mountains, the geese in the clouds, and the freshness of the seabed of the cattle and sheep on the land are not as good as the fragrance of the dog buns, and you can live a long life by eating them." From then on, the fame of the dog buns, and gradually in many places to open a branch.
