old black is a dog

Chapter 290

The earliest documented records about the Tibetan Mastiff come from the travel notes of the famous world traveler Marco Polo.

In 1257 AD, Marco Polo came to China alone and met Tibetans and "dogs from Tibet" for the first time in Sichuan Province.

He commented on this large bulldog like this: "It is as big as a donkey, runs like a tiger, roars like a lion, and looks dignified."

It is precisely because the Tibetan mastiff is so majestic that Marco Polo became the first foreigner to own a Tibetan mastiff.

In the folk, there is also a legend that "two mastiffs fight one tiger, one mastiff fights three wolves".

In Qinghai and Tibet, the brave and loyal Tibetan mastiff is regarded as a dog by nomads.

……

But also because of this, these somewhat exaggerated claims were taken advantage of by some caring people, and they used many means to stir up the Tibetan mastiff on the altar.

In China in recent years, there have been many myths about Tibetan mastiffs.

In 2007, a giant mastiff named Bill, with a shoulder height of 83 centimeters and a weight of 230 kilograms, coupled with its front page standard, thick coat, four thick, strong, and hulking backs, looked very majestic. Therefore, it was rated as a national A-level Tibetan Mastiff at the exhibition.

For this reason, Bill's net worth doubled immediately, and he was called for a sky-high price of 3000 million yuan. Even if he was asked to breed with him once, the price would be in the millions.

In 2012, this myth was broken again.

At the Second Northern Tibetan Mastiff Boutique Expo, a Tibetan Mastiff named "Shocking Beast" was rated as "China's No. [-] Mastiff".

Compared with Bill, the Shocking Beast is as tall as 91 centimeters at the shoulder and weighs more than 100 kilograms. It looks as strong as a bull and as strong as a lion.

According to the owner of the Jingtian Beast, someone was willing to bid 8 million yuan to buy the mastiff when it was only 3000 months old.

Therefore, when it is an adult, its asking price is higher than that of Bill.

There are many, many similar myths.

At a Tibetan mastiff exhibition in Tongxiang, Jiaxing, a mysterious buyer from Qingdao, said to be a real estate businessman in his 60s and 1800s, sold two Tibetan mastiffs at a price of [-] million yuan, both from a mastiff farm in Hebei. .

Not long after, a pure red Tibetan mastiff from Qingdao was sold for another 1000 million yuan.

This is not the asking price, but the real transaction price.

In 2013, the asking price of the sky-high Tibetan Mastiff was once again broken.

At the 2th China Changchun Agricultural Expo, an iron-clad gold Tibetan mastiff named Overlord was 170 years old and weighed [-] catties.

According to Mr. Yang, the owner of Overlord, he bought Overlord for 1800 million yuan before, and it is recognized by the industry as the best Tibetan mastiff, so he directly asked for 5000 million yuan.

Just crazy.

Chinese people have a bad habit of going crazy together. As long as someone hypes up something and it is profitable, they will rush to it.

Under the influence of some people, the pet industry began to stir up Tibetan mastiffs together.

When the Tibetan Mastiff was the hottest, it was not uncommon for an ordinary Tibetan Mastiff puppy to sell for RMB 5, 10 or even RMB [-].

If the quality is a little better, it may be as high as millions of dollars.

People who raise and sell dogs go crazy, and players go crazy too.

In Xi'an, a local tyrant bought a Tibetan Mastiff at an exorbitant price. On the day of returning to Xi'an, it is said that the dog owner dispatched [-] Mercedes-Benz to pick it up.

This movement was bigger than the arrival of the head of state.

……

Obviously, this is definitely hype.

And it was a little overcooked.

After the heat passed, some people began to calm down.

They began to reflect: Is Tibetan Mastiff really worth such a sky-high price?
Obviously, not worth it!
In Qinghai-Tibet, the birthplace of Tibetan mastiffs, herdsmen regard excellent Tibetan mastiffs as heavenly dogs, but they refuse to spend money to buy Tibetan mastiffs.

They believe that spending money to buy Tibetan mastiffs is a kind of blasphemy to Tibetan mastiffs.

Therefore, according to the customs of the Tibetan people, if someone falls in love with a Tibetan mastiff, they will go directly to the door to ask the dog owner for the dog. After obtaining the dog owner's consent, they will pick an auspicious day, and then come to pick it up solemnly. dog.

Once the dog is brought into the home, it will be treated like a family member.

This is the correct attitude towards the Tibetan Mastiff.

A real dog lover raises a Tibetan Mastiff not because of the huge benefits contained in it, but because of pure preference.

Unfortunately, this is not the case in the Mainland.

If it's just hype, it's fine, but many people slowly dismiss this kind of dog for profit.

As we all know, if a Tibetan mastiff wants to sell at a high price, it mainly depends on two aspects, one is the coat color, but whether it is tall and powerful.

Forget about the coat color, there is no other solution except for the selected breed dog.

But being tall and mighty can be cheated.

In order to make the young mastiff look tall and powerful, in line with the industry's good appearance of square head and big bones, some breeders began to use female mastiffs to cross breed young mastiffs with large dogs such as Caucasus.

In this way, some mastiffs look tall and powerful, but they lose the good qualities that Tibetan mastiffs should have.

The real Tibetan mastiff has the temperament and disposition of mighty, decisive, tough and stubborn. They are smart and loyal to their masters. In their consciousness, mission is more important than life.

However, among those "Tibetan mastiffs" that have been hybridized, some mastiffs will become roaring, manic, and difficult to tame, while others are as timid as a pug. One sound.

A good dog breed was ruined like this.

Anything, once hyped too much, the bubble will burst.

Slowly, everyone found that the Tibetan Mastiff they bought either hurt people frequently and was difficult to tame, or was manic and barked, disturbing the people and attracting complaints, or stupid as a pig...

Slowly, more and more Tibetan Mastiffs began to be abandoned.

Since 2012, the Tibetan Mastiff industry has entered a cold winter.

The puppies that could have been sold at high prices are no longer willing to be given away, and some Tibetan mastiffs that were once sky-high have also been reduced to ingredients for hot pot, and more Tibetan mastiffs have been abandoned, which has become a serious social problem.

The Tibetan mastiff just fell off the altar.

"In my opinion, this Tibetan Mastiff named Black Panther is not a native Tibetan Mastiff. It should be a hybrid offspring, so it is so irritable, difficult to train, and probably has a low IQ."

Lei Junyi, who had learned from blood and tears, made a conclusion for the Black Panther.

Rice shrugged.

That being the case, she was even less in the mood to help.

But at this moment, her phone rang again, and a strange voice appeared on the phone.

"Mr. Mi, right? I beg you, can you come over and take a look first? If the black panther is really taken away, it is likely to be punished! Anyway, this is still a life!"

Rice grain: "..."

The dog is a life, and the lives of those who are bitten are worthless?

But the attitude of the other party was so sincere that she didn't know how to refuse for a while.

"Let's go and have a look together, and if it doesn't work, then withdraw! I don't think the nature of keeping a dog is bad."

Li Bo began to help and say good things.

Now Mi Li couldn't refuse.

She looked at Yang Mu worriedly, wondering if the almighty Yang Mu had any good ideas this time.
