Why is the puppy trade in the dog market so deep?

It has to start at the source.

Where do dog market puppies come from?

Generally speaking, there are three main channels.

One is a dog breeding factory.

Just listening to the name, it's not your average scary.

The so-called dog breeding factory is actually a kennel, but this kennel, unlike the regular kennel, is that the breeding dogs here are completely used as breeding tools.

Generally speaking, a normal female dog will be in heat about twice a year, and only during the estrus period, the female dog can be successfully mated normally, and then after about two months of pregnancy, it can give birth to a litter of puppies.

In a regular kennel, what kind of female dog can become a breeding dog is very particular.

First of all, the female dog must have a pure bloodline, meet the dog breed standards, have no disqualification problems, and be physically and mentally healthy.

Secondly, even if the female dog is too young, it will not be used for breeding even if it is in heat, and it will not be allowed to breed until the third estrus, and the female dog that is too old will also stop breeding.

But in the breeding factory, the selection of female breeders is not too particular.

As long as it looks like a dog that is not very stringed, it is one word: dry!

Dry until it dies, or can no longer reproduce.

In terms of breeding cycles, there is also a big difference between a breeding factory and a regular kennel.

In regular kennels, in order to ensure the health of the female dogs, they are generally bred in a cycle of three times every two years.

But not in the breeding plant.

After a female dog gives birth, about a month or so, the breeding factory will sell the puppy and immediately inject the female dog with drugs to aphrodise.

In this way, a female dog that has just given birth will soon be in estrus again, basically three times a year, breeding three litters.

And that's not even the worst of it!

The most excessive thing is that the female dog will be locked in a cage for 365 days a year, without grooming, bathing, or walking the dog, and the environment is dirty and messy......

Not only that, but they don't eat anything good, meat is not available, eggs are impossible, only cheap corn paste.

It can be said that in the inhumane breeding factory, the has become a complete breeding tool.

And the reason for this is naturally because of the word profit.

This is the ugly side of human nature.

But such dog breeding factories are everywhere in the country, in Anshan, Liaoning, such breeding factories are countless, and a large number of puppies produced by breeding factories are sent to all parts of the country from here, becoming the main source of puppies in the dog market.

Seeing this, Yang Mu couldn't help but say three words: inhumane!

But there is nothing he can do about this inhumane reproduction.

Or rather, there is nothing that any individual can do.

The second source of puppies in the dog market is the puppies bred by the dog dealers themselves.

It is the second-tier dealers who send puppies from the breeding factory to the dog markets around the country, and the ones who buy dogs at the dog markets become the third-tier dealers.

There is also a cost to buy puppies from second-hand dealers.

Even if the cost is low, a healthy breed dog will cost at least about 300, and the better ones are even more expensive.

As a result, some dog dealers have started raising their own breeding dogs.

The origin of the breeder is simple.

Many people raise dogs, it is completely a whim, once they encounter various headaches such as dog shedding, messing around, tearing up the house, hurting people, etc., they will abandon the dog, and these abandoned dogs, some of which are in the hands of dog dealers, are used as breeding dogs.

Of course, these abandoned dogs that are used as breeding dogs are not much different from those breeding dogs in breeding factories, and they are also used as breeding tools.

The third source is puppies born from domestic dogs.

For a considerable number of dog owners, their own female dogs are also fertile.

But after these puppies were born, the dog owners themselves did not have a suitable sales channel, so they had to sell them to dog dealers at a lower price.

……

From the source of the dog city puppies alone, the water is deep enough.

But that's not the deepest.

Another deeper place is to confuse the real with the fake and shoddy.

For example, there was a time when the Chow Chow was selling well, and the price was quite high.

Purebred Chow Chows are not easy to enter, and the purchase price is still very high, so dog dealers began to think of a way.

In Guangdong, there is an ordinary dog that is close to the Chow Chow in size and appearance, called the Cantonese Shiba Inu, and dog dealers have found a lot of these female Shiba Inus to breed dogs, and then breed with male Chow Chows.

The puppy born in this way is obviously a skewer, but it is not an expert, and it is absolutely impossible to distinguish it in the first two months.

If such a puppy mother stays, raises it, and then mates with the Chow Chow, then even the connoisseur will have to identify it for a while to distinguish it.

This is to confuse the real with the false.

The second is shoddy.

Generally speaking, in the dog market, dogs that sell better are not only easy to sell, but also easy to sell for high prices.

For the sake of profit, dog dealers have tried all kinds of methods.

For example, dyeing, shaving, scalding, false ears and the like are common methods used by dog dealers.

Clever dog dealers can dress up as all kinds of purebred dogs with native dogs and skewers****** such as Professor Xia before, what he bought was a skewer or even a native dog that had been dressed up by means such as fake standing ears.

In short, in the dog market, dog dealers have all kinds of camouflage methods, which makes it difficult to guard against them.

This is not the deepest water.

The deepest water is the so-called dog of the week.

Did the dog dealers get it on purpose?

Not really.

The dogs in the hands of the dog dealers are also bought from the second-tier dealers for money, and if they can't sell them and die, the dog dealers will lose money.

Therefore, even the most black-hearted dog dealers rarely deliberately buy sick dogs.

However, the breeding factory was notoriously dirty and messy, and the puppies were packed in dog cages and transported to all parts of the country during transportation.

Puppies are notoriously weak and are susceptible to canine distemper, parvo, coronavirus, etc.

As long as some of these puppies are sick, the others are easily contagious, and then carry the virus into the incubation period.

During the incubation period, a significant portion of these puppies can be cured if they are vaccinated in time.

However, the vaccine also needs to be costed, cheaper, domestic ones cost 20 or 30 yuan a shot, and more expensive, imported ones cost 50 or 61 shots, and they can't be injected continuously.

For dog dealers, as soon as the puppies are purchased, they have to find a way to sell them as much as possible, otherwise it will not only cost to raise them, but also if the puppies die, they will be posted.

As a result, no dog dealer wants to vaccinate puppies.

In this way, most of the puppies that dog owners buy from the dog market are puppies with viruses that have not been vaccinated or dewormed, and if they are not treated in time, they can easily get sick and then die.

That's where the dog of the week comes in.

Seeing this, Yang Mu was thinking about a question: Do you still want cheap puppies from the dog market?
