Chapter 173: Canine Paradise
"You mean it has beast-like teeth?"
Portland was soon fooled and lame.
"It's nothing, there is still a bird of prey on my estate, a real bird of prey, the wingspan should reach two meters now, a golden eagle. ”
Portland stood up with a bang, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and sat down, "Impossible, you must be talking about the Eagles." ”
Fan Yang smiled, "I don't lie to you, I am also a wildlife lover, I have gone deep into Tibet several times, and found it on a snowy peak at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, a golden eagle that fell from the nest, when I first picked it up, it was still a chick, the feathers of the wings have not yet grown, but there is also the size of a small hen, and then it was kept in captivity in my manor, and now it has been abandoned." ”
"Do you really own a golden eagle?"
Portland still looked incredulous, and was intrigued even more, "You're an explorer too?"
"Explorers are not counted, enthusiasts, like mountaineering, speaking of which I also have a set of British Michael Eagle Navigator series, set of mountaineering equipment, the off-road vehicle outside, is specially prepared for mountaineering, next year I may go to climb Mount Everest, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will also challenge Mont Blanc in the Alps, Nanga Bava, Olympus I am also very interested. ”
"Mountaineering, my God, old Brian, you really introduced me to a good friend this time, you know, I was a famous explorer when I was younger, but I prefer jungles to mountains, I have been to the jungles of Peru, Congo, and Amazon, do you have any experience in the wild?"
"Yes, but not as professional as you, I once took two dogs and lived in the mountains of Tibet for half a year, relying on hunting and catching ......hares."
Fan Yang said that during the gold rush period, radish peels dug pits and set traps to catch hares.
Brian looked disdainful: "This technique is too clumsy, when you are in a dangerous jungle, there is no time for you to fully prepare, let alone wait for a night, a good hunter will set a trap in the path that the rabbit must walk, and you will get twice the result with half the effort." ”
The people at the big table next to him all looked at Fan Yang and Portland in a daze.
Liu Dingxin, including Shuangshuang, can only speak simple English, and he can't hear what is said clearly if he speaks a little faster, Portland has a London accent, and some British colloquialism, and Fan Yang sits there chattering non-stop.
I don't know what to say.
Then I gave up.
Fan Yang and Portland chatted more and more, and they didn't stop talking thoroughly.
Even Brian couldn't interject.
Finally, to Fan Yangwan's surprise, Portland turned out to be a botanist.
The hot pot has long been eaten.
The two chatted for half an hour.
It wasn't until Brian got impatient that Liu Dingxin kicked Fan Yang under the table.
Looking at the watch, it was almost 4 o'clock.
only to pay for it and leave.
When she went out to get into the car, Frost opened the back door early.
"Thank you. Portland politely declined.
Pull the car door and sit in Fan Yang's co-pilot.
As soon as I got in the car, I chattered and chattered non-stop.
After a few words, he talked back to the dog, because Fan Yang had already told the story of meeting two Tibetan mastiffs.
The content has been slightly modified.
It was obviously seen in Zhao Guangming's stable, and Fan Yang said that he found it in the ice and snow in the uninhabited area of Qinghai, which made Portland envious.
Seeing that his soul had drifted away, Fan Yang said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll bring you two back next time I go to Tibet." ”
"Is that okay, do they have beast-like teeth?"
Fan Yang shook his head, "This is not necessarily, this is unattainable, look at fate, to find a good dog, to go deep into the real Tibetan area, Qinghai, the Himalayas, where there is a more harsh natural environment, there are many precious dog breeds, white mastiffs, golden mastiffs, meteorites, their weight can easily reach more than 60 kilograms, I believe you will be satisfied." ”
Portland quickly showed a look of yearning, "It's called Xizang, right?"
"That's right, it's called Xizang. ”
"Are there a lot of fierce dogs there?"
"Many, all over the mountains, you can find any kind of variety you want. ”
Suddenly, Portland asked for no reason, "Is it expensive?"
Fan Yang turned his head to look at Portland.
As soon as this sentence was spoken, the previous atmosphere was broken.
"It's not expensive, it's the same as picking it up for nothing. ”
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
However, Portland's transformation was fast, and Fan Yang adjusted faster: "What's the matter? Aren't shepherd dogs popular in the UK? Do you have Su Mu, border herding, and large fierce dogs are also very marketable?"
Hearing the word market, Portland also smiled slightly, as if a person who had just woken up woke up in an instant, "Yes, it is very marketable." ”
Fan Yang smiled.
is laughable, but slightly sad.
It is the only mythical commodity among dogs.
The Tibetan mastiff has its own unique features.
Any hyped commodity has no value in itself and cannot be fried at all.
Loyal, steady, brave, ferocious, in the Tibetan mastiff, there is no trace of canine humility, and it will not deliberately please anyone, and getting along with people is more of a feeling.
In Xizang, the relationship between herdsmen and dogs is that they trust each other and help each other, there are no pets at all, owners, this kind of saying, herdsmen regard their dogs as a member of the family, and they are truly inseparable from dogs.
It will protect people and animals, cattle and sheep, and without dogs there will be no sense of security and will not be able to cope with wild beasts.
It's a kind of psychological, both protection and companionship.
Xizang is the only canine paradise in the ball, where no one will easily hurt them, herdsmen and dogs are real friends, there are many dog breeds in Xizang, there is a small dog breed called Xizang dog, also called Xizang hound, very smart, will help the elderly, as well as the monastery lama prayer wheel, there is a kind of terrier, is the best playmate of children, and the Tibetan mastiff, is the existence of herdsmen can not do without.
But it is a pity that it was destroyed by the Chinese themselves.
In a few years, these Westerners will be fascinated by this mysterious and ancient land, and they will be impressed and amazed by their devout faith.
The West has always praised Xizang as the last holy place of faith.
The purest place.
Be fascinated by all things here.
The first time Westerners knew the Tibetan mastiff was in Marco Polo's travels.
Marco Polo recorded that the Tibetan mastiff was the size of a donkey and cried like a lion's roar.
