Chapter 252: Famous Dog Competition
Shi Lei's parents also toasted a glass of wine from table to table with a pair of prospective newlyweds, saying words of thanks to express their sincerity. When he walked to the table where Sister was, Sister also deliberately pulled his father to chat a few more words.
He thinks that his father is a very capable person, and if he has time, he might as well work with him to study some proposals for the interests of Chinese Americans, which can be regarded as a good thing for the benefit of all Chinese. Dad was really interested in this, so he promised that he could study and study it together when he got back.
In such a harmonious atmosphere, this engagement ceremony is over. Next, Shi Lei and Laura's schedule became even more intense. There's so much more to the two of them need to do before the real first wedding arrives, more than just preparing for the wedding.
In fact, Shi Lei has found an event planning company to take over the preparation of the wedding, and his father, as a cultural consultant, is responsible for guiding people how to make a truly authentic Chinese wedding.
So in this case, Shi Lei and Laura, who are really the protagonists, temporarily took a break from preparing for the wedding and went to other activities they had planned for a long time.
First of all, you can't miss the Westminster Dog Awards. When Shi Lei and the others were busy with their own affairs, Bai Xue, the great white bear dog who was a candidate for the seed dog, did not stop his pace, and Laura occasionally found time to lead it to participate in various trials at different levels.
Bai Xue defeated a number of strong opponents and successfully obtained a ticket to the Westminster Abbey All Dog Breed Competition. It will compete for the B.O.B (Best Dog Breed Award) with other dogs of the same caliber at Westminster Abbey.
From Shi Lei's point of view, the most obvious gap between the participating dogs in Shi Lei's eyes is that there is Laura's watch xiàn to add a lot of points to Bai Xue. This eye-catching combination of a beautiful woman and a beautiful dog is a strong guarantee that they can go all the way to the end.
Shi Lei, as a cheerleader in this competition, flew to New York again with Laura, who was a little nervous.
The competition is held over two days. On the first day, the B.O.B. (Best Breed Award) will be determined, the only one of the best dogs that will compete for the B.I.G (Best of the Best Category) on behalf of the same breed. The winners of the next seven categories will compete for the most popular B.I.S (Overall Champion), which is the title of Westminster Abbey Dog Breed Champion.
In the sub-venue of the big white bear dog, Laura led Bai Xue and quietly waited for the notice of the performance. After the referee signaled, the dogs in Laura's group all ran in circles around this small competition area under the signal of their respective owners.
This run can indeed see some differences. Bai Xue just ran calmly and elegantly under the leadership of Laura, like a queen patrolling her territory, calm and proud. Although it doesn't look arrogant, it just can't be ignored.
And other dogs were compared to this time, not only inferior to Bai Xue in temperament, but also their gait will be somewhat imperfect, unlike Bai Xue, the steps that have always been taken are as accurate as measured.
And some, it may be that they thought that the owner was teasing it and simply stood upright, or the owner calmed it for a long time before returning to the correct state. There are also dogs that are too lively, and they have a bouncing movement in the process of running, and it is estimated that the referee will subtract points for them.
After a lap, at the referee's signal, all the dogs stopped and put on their most beautiful posture.
Bai Xue, who has also been trained in this area, has formed a habit, as long as he stands still, he will always show the most beautiful posture that Laura has strengthened him, so this will make Bai Xue habitually show the best side.
Other dogs basically need to go through the help of the owner, and the front and rear paws can be adjusted before they can come up with a similar demeanor.
Bai Xue glanced at these fellow citizens disdainfully, and naturally took out its cold and arrogant queen demeanor.
In the end, it was the referee who was not young at first glance, and stepped forward one by one to check the appearance of each dog. Looking at the proportions of their heads and tails, etc., it is even necessary to study whether their facial features are delicate enough.
In fact, there is another place to check, and that is to see if the dog has a congenital genetic disease.
For example, the most famous German Shepherd may inherit excessive timidity in terms of personality, and there may also be hip hypoplasia, and elbow joint separation osteochondritis, but sometimes these diseases do not affect their appearance, so they need to be further observed by experienced judges.
Of course, Bai Xue does not have any problems in these aspects, and even the problem that purebred dogs may have a poor physique, Bai Xue will definitely not have a zài. Its physique is better, much stronger than that of wild wolves, and it is definitely incomparable to other similar species.
Due to the large number of participating dogs in each dog breed, the first day is the busiest. Each dog breed has to compete for the star dog that can best represent the dog breed and participate in higher-level competitions, so the referees need to see a lot of dogs on this day, and they are also extremely tired. And the pair of Laura and Bai Xue is undoubtedly the most eye-catching pair on the field.
The results of the first day of the competition were not at all unexpected by Shi Lei, Bai Xue won the best dog breed award of the big white bear dog with a relatively obvious advantage, that is to say, Bai Xue was rated as the benchmark of all big white bear dogs, representing the most recognized, the most typical and the most beautiful appearance of the big white bear dog.
Back at their quarters, Laura was still excited. Shi Lei was also excited about Bai Xue's victory. It's just such a championship title, Bai Xue's value can double up. Shi Lei can already imagine that after the competition, the invitations from various breeding farms will definitely fill his table again.
In order to celebrate, Shi Lei simply took Laura with him and went to a Michelin-starred restaurant here. Go to the fine dining restaurant opened by Shi Lei's old friend, the fiery French chef Alain Roisau, and enjoy a fine meal.
In the next day's game, Laura calmed down, anyway, the biggest goal, the championship of the Great White Bear Dog, was to get it. As for whether she can win the championship of the working dog group, or even go one step further to win the championship of the whole dog breed, Laura already has an indifferent attitude. Of course, it's better to be able to get it, but it's okay if it doesn't.
However, Laura Bai Xue's table Xiàn is as good as ever, and she also won the championship of the working dog group with a clear advantage, and now Bai Xue will compete with the champions of the remaining 6 groups for the final crown.
Judging from the table of each dog group over the years, it is undoubtedly the terrier that has the greatest hope of winning. Because there have been 42 times in history that the Terrier has won the all-breed championship, almost as many times as the other 6 groups combined.
Bai Xue still showed his best side, and Shi Lei felt that it could already be described as perfect. And the referee seems to be more recognizant of this. In the end, the referee called breeding experts and many other people to discuss for a long time before announcing the final results.
The results can be said to be both expected and somewhat unexpected. The champion is still the champion bristle fox terrier in the terrier group, a dog breed that has won the most all-breed championships in history, and it is also a kind of terrier that makes Shi Lei stupid and unclear.
Although a little disappointed, Laura happily led Bai Xue forward and took the trophy from the gray-haired old referee.
The old man seemed to be very fond of Bai Xue, and he chatted with Laura for a long time. I encouraged Laura for a long time, so that she must not be discouraged, and if she can continue to participate in the competition next year, she may win the championship.
The old man frankly said that Bai Xue lost the championship this time, and one of the factors was that Bai Xue's own bloodline was not very proud, and there was even the possibility that it was not pure enough.
And its opponent, the terrier that won the championship, is simply the descendant of the dog that won the all-breed championship last time, so there are good reasons why it won the championship in this regard.
Shi Lei and Laura returned with honors again, and everyone inevitably celebrated Bai Xue and Laura's excellent performance. Several relatives who came to attend the engagement ceremony have already left for China, so it is Shi Lei, a fiancée, and four elders who are gathered together.
Sure enough, as Shi Lei expected, Shi Lei and Laura had just come back not long ago, and Shi Lei's table was already full of all kinds of invitations to breed with Bai Xue.
Who makes Laura a celebrity now, she has appeared more than once at fashion events and the Breeder's Cup.
This Westminster Abbey All Dog Breed Contest is also the biggest event in the famous dog industry, and it belongs to the kind of event that dog lovers all over the world will pay attention to, so Laura's name has once again been well spread, and even the stone ranch is once again famous.
After the last Breeder's Cup, all the information about Laura and Stone Ranch has been moved to the pages of various media. As for Shi Lei, of course, he was selectively ignored, and he only mentioned it in passing, and most of them appeared as the man behind Laura.
Shi Lei basically refused these breeding requirements, but he planned to choose another pedigree of the big white bear breed and breed some cubs by himself. It would be even more perfect if the breeder could also win some first prizes.
Of course, it doesn't take a lot to breed offspring, and the so-called scarcity is expensive. And for such a champion bloodline dog, the market demand is relatively small, and there is no need to make a lot.
Shi Lei plans to send a cub to his cousin Li Kai, who runs a pet shop, so that his store can be regarded as a treasure of the town store, and it is definitely a living signboard.
In addition, Xiao Wu Chen Guanxu also wanted a Caucasian dog, the one who had participated in several battles with fierce beasts on the Fox River Ranch.
However, Shi Lei felt that Xiao Wu's personality was not calm enough, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble after he had a Caucasian dog, so he first enjoyed the same treatment as Li Kai, and Shi Lei gave each of them a A series of pitbulls bred by Stone Ranch.
Shi Lei is already going through the formalities for these two dogs, and it is just so that their offspring can communicate with the next generation bred on the ranch in the future. Because they will have regional differences, they will become different populations.
Shi Lei and Laura are destined to spend this time in a busy time, just after participating in the Westminster Abbey Famous Dog Race, they are going to cheer for Liao Chengjun as a group of relatives and friends. R1152
