Chapter 21 The Pastoral and the Tibetan Mastiff
"Uncle Nie, do you want to buy a dog?"
Hearing Nie Yun say that he was going to see the dog, Tian Zhen glanced at Nie Yun with a little puzzlement.
"The dogs on the big set are very expensive, and the cheapest ones cost dozens of yuan, and they may not be guards. The big black dog of Aunt Wang's house in the village is very powerful, I heard that there was a litter of puppies last month, if Uncle Nie wants the dog to watch the door, just ask for one! β
The local dogs in the countryside basically didn't take out the puppies and sell them, they were all given away. Generally, if anyone is short of dogs, ask which female dog has a cub and just pick one to raise. Anyway, cats and dogs are rampant in rural areas nowadays, and there are too many puppies to raise, so they are generally scattered and become wild dogs......
"Let's go over and see, if there is a suitable one, you can buy one, forget it. Anyway, these dogs are pretty cute, so it doesn't hurt to check them out! β
Nie Yun said.
I just returned to the village, and the people in the village are basically not familiar with it, so I let myself go to someone to ask for a puppy, although it is not a big deal, but it is very difficult for me to pull down my face.
Besides, Nie Yun was still not very relieved about the earth dogs in the village.
To say that the traditional purebred native dog, the so-called "Chinese pastoral dog", is also a very smart dog, but unfortunately the rural dog hybridization is too serious, and the purebred has long been gone. These mongrel dogs generally do not have a high intelligence, and they can only be tethered to their homes, barking a few times when people come to be eyes and ears.
In the end, it's better to go to the dog market and buy a bigger dog with a purer breed.
Of course, dogs in the dog market are not necessarily purebred, but generally speaking, the hybrids are not strong, the bloodline is maintained, and the advantages of the basic breed are still there, so that there will be no big forks.
Hearing Nie Yun say this, Tian Zhen really wanted to go over to see those cute dogs, so he also followed Nie Yun closely and watched these big and small dogs on both sides of Daji Street.
Looking all the way, Tian Zhen's eyes were staring at those pet dogs with mixed coats and shapes, or those cute fluffy puppies. And Nie Yun's eyes were on those large dogs.
The huge Tibetan mastiff, either yellow or black, with a lion-like mane on its head and a ring of large red flowers on the back of its head, is naturally the most eye-catching.
Luo Wei, who has a rabbit tail, has a simple face and sticks out his big tongue.
"Little brother, buy a little Lowe. Look, this skeleton! A middle-aged man who sold Luo Wei bent down and picked up a small Luo Wei from the cage and said to Nie Yun.
"Uncle, is this dog a doorman?" Nie Yun glanced at the stupid little Luo Wei and asked casually.
"It's going to be watery, but it just doesn't bite people!" The middle-aged uncle said.
Nie Yun smiled and shook his head, he is not a big dog enthusiast, buying a dog is not only a hobby, the most important thing is to count on it to be of some use. Therefore, it is best to choose a working dog that can watch the home and nursery, bite people, and be obedient.
Looking away from the Rowe dog, Nie Yun looked at the Tibetan mastiff next to him again.
Compared with Luo Wei, the Tibetan mastiff is fierce, but it is much worse in obedience. Speaking of this kind of dog, it can be described as "wild surname untamed". That is, the fire has been fried in the past two years, and the price has been rising steadily, and many rich families have raised one and fed it on a leash.
If this thing is not tied well, it is normal to bite people, and naturally it is not Nie Yun's first choice.
Moreover, the Tibetan mastiffs here are generally very mixed, and it is not easy to say what the surnames are, and there are still many differences from the original Tibetan mastiffs. It's even a little unpleasant, that is, the advantages of purebred Tibetan mastiffs have not inherited much, but the disadvantages have not been left behind at all, and they are not good dogs.
"Little brother, do you want to buy a big dog? Check it out here! β
And just as Nie Yun was staring at these Tibetan mastiffs, a middle-aged man in his forties from a dog stall on the Tibetan mastiff's side greeted Nie Yun.
Nie Yun followed the voice and looked over, only to see that on the middle-aged man's stall, there were three big dogs squatting that were not inferior to Tibetan mastiffs in any way, but their body hair was not long, and they did not look bloated.
These big dogs have brown and red body hair, erect ears, and a body shape like a big wolf, with a curved back, a collapsed crotch, and a piece of black hair on the back. This big dog, Nie Yun, recognizes that it is the German Shepherd among the most used dogs among the working dogs!
Nie Yun knew a little about the origin of a big dog like Demu.
This dog has a short history, but it is only a hundred years, almost a hundred years ago, and it was obtained by the Germans after crossing other breeds of sheepdogs. Although it was a hybrid dog at the beginning, it retained the excellent surname of the ancestors of those shepherd dogs, obedient, strong execution, and considerable combat effectiveness, which is quite a perfect working dog!
The police dogs used in the police force are generally German Shepherds.
On the middle-aged man's stall, there are three Dade Mu, all of them are adult dogs, all of them are male dogs, and they are afraid that they will be at least ten pounds heavy depending on their size. One of them was squatting on the ground, and one of them was holding a brick in his mouth, and his eyes looked at the master from time to time, and the master did not dare to put it down if he did not let it go.
In addition, in front of this stall, there is also a small cage, in which six puppies of forty or fifty days old are basking in the sun.
Although Nie Yun didn't have a deep understanding of De Mu, he saw that these big dogs were all majestic and obedient, and he already had some good feelings for these De Mu.
"Xiao Zhen, take a look here!"
Greeting Tian Zhen, Nie Yun walked towards the Demu stall.
"Uncle, these dogs are good. Do you sell the big ones too? Walking in front of this stall, Nie Yun reached out and touched the head of a great Demu, this Dademu's head lowered slightly, and obediently let Nie Yun touch it.
"Big dogs are sold when they get a price, but it's mostly small dogs. How about it, take a puppy back, my dog has no other advantages, just obedient! The middle-aged man said, and shouted at the big dog with the brick in his mouth: "Huzi, put it down!" The big dog with the brick in his mouth immediately obediently put the brick on the ground. Nie Yun clearly saw that the few fangs of the big dog holding the brick were all smoothed out......
Tian Zhen behind him was a little scared at first when he saw these big Demu, but when he saw the little Demu in the cage, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Uncle, how much does this puppy cost?" Nie Yun glanced at the puppies, these puppies had good skeletons, and they were all very energetic.
"Six hundred for the male and eight hundred for the female, I don't ask for the price all the time, that's basically the price. If you like it, you can take one. They are all purebred shepherd dogs, but they don't have a pedigree certificate. This is still cheap in our north, if you go to the south, even if you don't have a puppy, you can't get it for thousands of dollars! β
The middle-aged uncle said, took out a little German Mu from the cage and put it on the ground, the puppy immediately walked around, saw Tian Zhen, and immediately walked over, Tian Zhen took two steps, and the puppy also whined and followed two steps.
Six hundred male dogs and eight hundred female dogs, with Nie Yun's understanding of Demu, it should be a relatively real price.
But whether to buy it or not, it's not good to make a decision immediately, even if you want to buy it, these six puppies, you have to pick a good one.
"Uncle, I'll take another look!"
As he spoke, Nie Yun put his hand into the cage, picked up a puppy and looked at it, the puppy was naΓ―ve, and was caught in Nie Yun's hand, whining and struggling gently.
The middle-aged uncle was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for Nie Yun to watch the dog.
There was a sound of cars moving, Nie Yun looked up, and saw a white van parked next to the Demu stall, and a thin middle-aged man about fifty or sixty years old got out of the van. The middle-aged man opened the back door of the car, took out a huge brown-red Tibetan mastiff from the carriage, and moved down a cage, in which squatted a huge long-haired puppy, whose fur was red, and it looked like it was the offspring of a brown-red Tibetan mastiff.
"Lao Liu, here you go again!" The middle-aged uncle at the Demu booth greeted the thin middle-aged man.
Seeing Nie Yun set his eyes on the brown-red Tibetan mastiff, the middle-aged uncle who sold the German herd pouted: "Little brother, is it okay to see that Tibetan mastiff?" Actually not purebreds either! β
Nie Yun took a closer look at the big Tibetan mastiff, this Tibetan mastiff had a square face and seemed to be good. It's a pity that they are a little dumbfounded, and their temperament lacks the fierceness of the Tibetan mastiff.
However, the puppy in the cage was about three or four months old, and it was larger than the average adult earth dog, with bright coat and two eyes staring, majestic.
"Have you seen that little cub?"
The middle-aged uncle who sold the moral pastor pointed to the puppy in the cage with his eyes.
"Tibetan mastiff and Caucasian skewers!"
"This old Liu has raised three Tibetan mastiffs and one Caucasus. Just the red female Tibetan mastiff, when she was in heat, she had already been mated and bred, who would have thought that the dog cage was not closed properly, and the female Tibetan mastiff ran out and let the Caucasus dry. The result came a litter of four puppies, three Tibetan mastiffs, a Caucasian and Tibetan mastiff skewers. The Tibetan mastiff has already been sold, and this skewer has been sold for three or four episodes, and no one has asked for it, and now it is estimated that it will be more than two months! The middle-aged uncle said in detail.
"More than two months, so big?" Originally, Nie Yun thought that this puppy would be three or four months old, but he didn't expect that it was only two months old.
As for whether it was a skewer or not, Nie Yun couldn't tell it.
However, Nie Yun also knows that the Caucasus that the middle-aged uncle is talking about is also a fierce and large dog, and videos of Caucasian fighting Tibetan mastiffs are often circulated on the Internet. Unexpectedly, in that old Liu's house, it was not the Caucasian Tibetan mastiff, but the Caucasian Tibetan mastiff was forcibly annihilated......
However, compared to the Tibetan mastiff, the Caucasus is a little braver, but the obedience to the surname is far superior to the Tibetan mastiff, which is also quite good.
Originally, Nie Yun was not very interested in the hybrid breed of Caucasian and Tibetan mastiff.
However, at this time, Tian Zhen was staring at the huge puppy, compared to the black and fluffy little Demu, this fiery red fluffy big puppy was obviously more attractive.
"Uncle Nie, that big dog, no one either?"
Staring at the little hybrid dog of the Caucasus and Tibetan mastiff, Tian Zhen asked Nie Yun. At the same time, as if sensing that someone had noticed him, the puppy quickly turned his head and barked twice at Nie Yun's side.
