Yu Qian secretly winked at Wen Yiming, followed the sixth master inside, and whispered: "Please be careful, sir, the Tibetan mastiff is very fierce, recognize the master, you can see it, don't touch it with your hands!"

Yu Qian instructed in advance, afraid of accidents, although he didn't know why this young man could get the respect of the sixth master, but he was a guest at the door, and he couldn't have any accidents.

Wen Yiming nodded, he loved and hated dogs, and what he hated was being bitten by mad dogs, but his sense of smell was obtained from dogs, so his feelings were very complicated.

However, the Tibetan mastiff really has to be very careful, it is not a pet dog, it is born with a lonely and arrogant personality, and it only recognizes one owner for life. No matter who it is, others will bite when they are in a hurry.

Strong as a cow, roaring like a lion, both rigid and soft, can herd cattle and sheep, can understand the master's meaning, can drive jackals, tigers and leopards. According to Tibetan legend, an adult Tibetan mastiff can defeat three evil wolves, and can make the leopard bow down. In Tibet, it is known as a tengu.

If you want to raise a Tibetan mastiff, you must raise it from an early age, and it is best to start touching it from birth. Animals have a peculiarity, as soon as the puppy opens its eyes, it sees the first person it is closest to. After that, they are only fed for a few months before they can become masters. When you get older, even if it follows you, it's not sincere.

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, at the foot of the Potala Palace, there was a flash flood, the land was covered with ice and snow in winter, the plague was rampant, and when people and animals were hungry and cold, they suddenly saw many living Buddhas wearing robes and shaking Zen bells from the sky.

The mount of the living Buddha is the Tibetan mastiff, and the arrival of the living Buddha and the Tibetan mastiff has relieved people's pain, melted the ice and snow, and revived the earth. So now on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, when it comes to the Tibetan mastiff, they all admire it infinitely, thinking that the Tibetan mastiff is the mount of the living Buddha sent by the messenger from heaven, the sacred dog, and the protector of the herdsmen.

The sixth master walked in front of a big cage, there was a red-haired Tibetan mastiff in it, and he didn't know what magic the old man had, so he squatted down directly and touched the fierce mastiff with his hand.

"The Tibetan mastiff has a set of strict standards, not all dogs are called mastiffs!" The sixth master raised the huge mastiff's head and pointed: "The head is large and square, the forehead is wide, the eyes are black and yellow, the mouth is short and thick, the corners of the mouth are slightly heavy, the snout is short and the nose is wide, and the tongue is big and the lips are thick." ”

"The neck is thick and powerful, the neck is drooping, the body is strong, the hearing is agile, the vision is sharp, the five toes of the forelimbs are sharp, the hind limbs are hooked with four toes, the canine teeth are extremely sharp, the ears are small and drooping, the ears are small and drooping, the tail is large and side-curled. ”

"As powerful as a tiger, it is enough to defeat a leopard or three wolves, and fight fiercely, making it win the reputation of a sacred dog, and it is also the only dog in the world that dares to fight with fierce beasts. ”

"Resistant to cold and heat, it can still sleep peacefully in the snow and ice at minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius. And has a high IQ, strong judgment, amazing memory, can give early warning of earthquakes, avalanches, etc., and is full of strong hostility to strangers, but bows down to the owner, and is an excellent dog breed to protect the territory. ”

Smell a song through the cage, listen to it with relish. Only when you really get up close and personal with the Tibetan mastiff can you feel its majesty, and the breath of the beast is shocking and shocking.

"Tibetan mastiffs are also different in appearance because of the different areas where they live. At present, the best quality Tibetan mastiff comes from the river meanders in Tibet. ”

"The Tibetan mastiff has the primitive features of a typical Himalayan mountain dog, with a dense mane like that of an African male lion, a broad chest, and a fierce gaze that is subtle and deep. ”

"There is also a kind of Tibetan mastiff from the Qinghai region, this kind of Tibetan mastiff has almost no mane, the hair on the body is relatively short, but the body size is larger! But its character is not as fierce and calm as the Tibetan mastiff with a mane, it is the mainstream of the market now, and it is difficult to find a good quality. ”

"How do you see if it's top-grade or average?" Since Wen Yiming is here, he must learn more, and he will be able to distinguish it in the future.

The sixth master stood up, clapped his hands and said: "In the concept of Tibetan herdsmen, it is believed that only Tibetan mastiffs that resemble ferocious animals in appearance and habits can protect peace. A good Tibetan mastiff should have a mane as long as a lion, a fierce and resolute momentum like a tiger, and a tireless spirit like a yak. ”

"Specifically, the fine Tibetan mastiff has a droopy face, huge ears close to the face, a tall and strong nose, a thick and long tail, a majestic expression, a fierce and strong momentum, and its sharp claws have special functions to prevent various diseases. ”

"The medium Tibetan mastiff has a light brown coat, a roar that shocks the sky, often shocks the other party at the first sound of barking, the corners of the eyes are red, and the head is huge. Fiercely hostile to strangers, but extremely affectionate towards their owners, hard-working and conscientious, it is said that medium-breed Tibetan mastiffs are able to accurately identify their owners by their sense of smell three years after they have been away from their owners. ”

The sixth master pointed to the red mastiff while showing and explaining from various details, this red mastiff can also be regarded as the past, and the trustee bought it back from Tibet at a high price, and has been raising it until now.

"Animal genes are everything, and there is no doubt that the offspring born from a purebred are absolutely powerful. Plants have hybridization and are getting better and better. The more the animal is crossbred, the worse the original characteristics, especially large dogs, as the saying goes, skewers are the least valuable. ”

"Tibetan mastiffs are roughly divided into several colors, the first is black, the whole body coat is black, but under the neck, the front chest and heart can have white patches, the smaller the spots, the better. Also called black bear "human" word patch. The coat is black, known as "iron-clad gold", the lower limbs and feet are yellow, and there are two yellow dots above the eyes, that is, above the eyelashes, which are called "four eyes".

Then there are yellows, which are golden, apricot, brown and grass. Its color varies greatly, the genes are not stable, and the color type of the puppies it gives birth to is also very different. ”

"After that, it is reddish-brown, and the whole body coat is jujube red or cow hair, and some of the needle hairs are slightly blackened. It's medium, and occasionally there will be good quality. ”

"The last is white, with a snow-white coat and a red flesh-colored nose. The mutant variety, which is rare, is known as the snow mastiff by the Tibetans. ”

Yu Qian also had a rare opportunity to listen to the teachings of the sixth master, and asked humbly: "I heard senior players say that the real Tibetan master training mastiff is very bloody, and when the Tibetan mastiff is born, it is no different from an ordinary Tibetan dog, with warm eyes, black hair, head head and begging tail, and a cute appearance. After it was weaned, the owner dug a square stone pit in the courtyard and placed it inside. ”

"Even if it held back its strength, it was just able to pick up the edge, and when it glanced at the world outside the pit, it fell back to the bottom of the pit in an instant. And the food fed to it, a small piece of raw meat, is only enough to sustain life. Young Tibetan dogs endure starvation and hellish sieges, bathed in frost, snow, rain or scorching sun. ”

"The only thing it can take some solace in is that the bottom of the pit is still relatively wide, and it can't jump out, but it can walk in circles in the pit. Day after day, gradually growing up. The pit in captivity is gradually shrinking and deepening. This made its temperament more and more manic, the warmth of its gaze decreased, and the smooth, hard stone walls were carved deep into the stone grooves by its claws. ”

"Finally, one day, the owner took it out of the stone pit. But at the moment it is not enough to be called a Tibetan mastiff, because it is far from being ferocious. Then it was taken by the owner to the wild mountains and snowy areas of more than 4,000 meters, and what awaited it was a deeper, narrower, more slippery, and wetter stone well. ”

In this stone well, the owner continued to feed it a few pieces of raw meat on which it depended, and no longer had to guard it day and night as before. Instead, the brutal snow wolf howled around the stone well all day long, with its paws on the edge of the well, and its eyes shot an eerie, unobtainable poisonous light. ”

"At first, the Tibetan dog was lonely, and under the threat of the wolf, he would bury his head deep in terror. But when the wolves howl around Ishii for a long time, instinctively they will jump up and bark wildly, wanting to live their lives. ”

"The cold and storms have caused its fur to thicken and harden, and like a snow wolf, it is not afraid of the harsh nature. In this man-made cruel purgatory, the beastly nature of the Tibetan dog is increasing day by day, cold, brutal, aggressive, stubborn, and domesticated with the most tragic desire to conquer. ”
