Since 1996, there are more than 200 fine dogs in Cao Shuangcang's kennel. However, it is said that due to a canine distemper last year, there are only more than 80 dogs left, and the breed has changed from Hebei boutique dogs and Shandong boutique dogs to a single Hebei boutique dog. Cao Shuangcang said that he was a medical student and began to work in Hejian local industrial and commercial office, and later began to practice medicine. After that, he got hundreds of acres of land and began to raise local chickens. Business was good, and later he began to breed fine dogs. "1996 After I bought a car, I started to run to the dog market in Shandong, Hebei, and bought excellent breeds at a high price. I bought more than 60 at first, more than 40 thousand expensive, and the rest ranged from hundreds to thousands. Come back to breed with these puppies and leave those that meet the standards every year. " Cao Shuangcang said. Up to now, there is no authoritative standard for fine dogs, and it has not been recognized as an independent strain internationally. Cao Shuangcang said that his selection criteria are actually some criteria passed down from generation to generation by Hebei folk to beat hunters with fine dogs. Such as height and length. The reason why he finally chose "bean paste", a color he couldn't tell exactly what it was called, was because the older generation said it was the best of Hebei fine dogs. "There are obvious differences between thoroughbred dogs in Hebei and Shandong. Shandong boutique dogs pay attention to the dragon head and phoenix tail, and the dog's head and tail tip have three or four centimeters of hair. But Hebei fine dog didn't. Shandong is dominated by long hair and Hebei is dominated by short hair. Therefore, the boutique dog in Shandong is closer to his ancestor Saluki. "
After Lingti was introduced from abroad a few years ago, the terrier with relatively weak explosive power was quickly abandoned by Chinese people. "The advantage of the fine dog lies in its good sense of smell and tracking ability, and its endurance, adaptability and flexibility are higher than those of Lingti. However, dog dealers don't care about this. There are fewer and fewer thoroughbred dogs now. When a good thoroughbred dog loses its fertility, the genetic resources of thoroughbred dogs can be said to be very dangerous. " Cao Shuangcang said that Han Xiaodong's "bean paste" was given by him for free. Referring to the boutique dog farm that he has painstakingly managed for many years, Cao Shuangcang admits that the basic population of boutique dogs is not enough at present. Internationally, at least 80 bitches and 30 males are required to mate at random, and the inbreeding rate should not exceed 15%, but now there are only more than 80 bitches, and less than 30 bitches have the color of "red bean paste".
From 1996 to now, Cao Shuangcang said that he spent almost1100,000 on raising a dog. "Many people don't understand why I still live in a bungalow and haven't bought a house in the city. I like keeping dogs. I can say that it was not economical to keep a dog at first, but now I'm still keeping it (because of canine distemper). I just wish I could raise a puppy. " However, after keeping a dog 10 years, Cao Shuangcang said that there are not many people buying boutique dogs now. /kloc-since 0/0, he has only sold dozens of pieces, with an average of 2000 yuan per piece. "People think that dogs are not as fast as twips, and there are fewer places to shoot rabbits now. If the boutique dog as a hunting dog loses its hunting ability and opportunity, the way out will definitely not work. " Cao Shuangcang said that his puppies still have good hunting instinct and sense of smell, and he can get them back by catching rabbits.
Cao Shuangcang said that as far as he knows, there is only one boutique kennel like him in Hebei. Some places may have good dog-raising associations, but they are unable to have such investment. More and more common is hype. Talking about the cooperation with Han Xiaodong, Cao Shuangcang said that he mainly keeps dogs. In order to let more people know and care about boutique dogs, one's strength is really limited. Han Xiaodong mainly carries out publicity and promotion. "Han Xiao comes to shoot some films every year. Many people come to me after his promotion." But both Han Xiaodong and Cao Shuangcang said that their cooperation is more similar to the spiritual level. As Han Xiaodong said, so far, the two have only reached a gentleman's agreement. Fortunately, they cooperate happily, no problem. Han Xiaodong thinks that his goal is to make the dog in his mind perfect, while Cao Shuangcang has to worry about the normal operation of the dog farm, which is also where their cooperation may lead to differences. Cao Shuangcang admitted that none of the dogs he sold were sterilized, but none of these puppies were blue-gray. Except on his farm, only Han Xiaodong has a blue-gray "red bean paste". Han Xiaodong hoped that Cao Shuangcang would never sell it. "I told Lao Cao that it is best not to sell dogs. People buy you to reproduce themselves. Without a standard, it is difficult to guarantee that others will not claim that their puppies are authentic in the future. "
The core of the agreement between the two is not to let this blue-gray boutique dog bleed. Cao Shuangcang is still in Hejian and will not give up his boutique dog. He firmly believes that he is the creator of this blue-gray boutique dog. "It must be me. Because others have no population. " He is confident, not worried about not being famous, and not in a hurry to hype. "This (raising a dog) can't be done without something. I still have to work hard for a few years, and it is estimated that I can reach the basic population in five or six years. " Cao Shuangcang said that he hopes to set up a fund with the funds after the operation of the dog farm in the future and devote himself to long-term development. -Sanlian Life Weekly
Boutique Dog, Tibetan Mastiff and Shapi: Contemporary Destiny Boutique Dog of China Dog.
Sohu said that 1286 dogs participated in their PK activity of "sogou in the Year of the Dog" in order to become "spokesdogs" with an annual salary of1000000. 1286 Among the "super dogs", there are only 1 0 native dogs in China, including 70 Beijing Ba, 29 Songshi, 7 Tibetan Mastiffs, 3 chinese crested, and China Gardener Dog (also known as Baishi Dog)1one! Professor Gao Deyi, an expert in zoology at China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, introduced that there are currently 10 local dog breeds officially recognized by foreign institutions in China with relatively recognized names, namely Beijing Dog (commonly known as Beijing Ba), Pug Dog, Xi Shi Dog, Song Shiquan, Sharpe Dog, chinese crested, Lassa Dog, Tibetan, Tibetan Mastiff. China is so rich in dog resources that only 10 is recognized in the world, which is really not much. Among the only 1 10 China native dogs that participated in the Sohu competition, 6 of these 10 breeds were completely absent. Behind this pessimistic data, what is the status quo and fate of Chinese famous dogs?
Ms. Lu Di, the founder of China Small Animal Association, actually has a purebred Tibet which is extremely rare now. 12 years ago, a dog seller was chased by the police to the campus of Renmin University and threw the dog to a fellow villager who happened to be a student in Ludi. Later, Mr. Cui Taibao, a zoologist at Gansu Agricultural University, saw it and decided that it was a very rare Tibet. Some Americans want to spend 4 million dollars to buy this dog. Lu Di said, that's my son. I'm not selling, so forget it. It has been sterilized. Ludi didn't know the breed of the dog at that time. She took it in like any other abandoned puppy. The puppy repaid her infinite loyalty. "Tibet looks very small, like a little poodle, but it has good jumping ability and strong attack power." Reed said that this puppy has hurt countless people. If it jumps up and bites your neck, it won't let go. "It doesn't make a sound when it attacks, but it suddenly breaks out." Rudy said that as long as you don't look closely and make it feel that you are provocative, Tibet will never bite easily. But if the owner is threatened, it will become very brave. "Once my wife was in a hurry to talk to me and waved in front of me. She thought she was going to attack me, jumped on me and bit my wife on both sides of her ass. I was so angry that my wife hit it with a mop. So far, no one can take the mop at home except me. "
Another legendary Tibetan dog is the cuffed dog. Rudy said that the cuffed dog was put in the sleeve of his robe when the Dalai Lama offered sacrifices in Tibet. They thought that God gave them a dog, and Tibet was used to protect the law. There are basically no Tibetan dogs and cuffed dogs now. Ludi said that she had never seen a cuffed dog with her own eyes. In the old photos taken by foreigners in the early years, there were Tibetan aristocratic women holding this dog. "When we were looking for Zhao Lao, we wanted to use his relationship to get some sleeve dogs from Lama to cultivate. Later, when Zhao Lao died, he asked the Lama again and said that it was gone, so he kept it a secret. " There are four internationally recognized famous Tibetan dogs, and now only Tibetan mastiff is better. However, Mr. Zhang Fan, who often travels to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, told reporters that he witnessed the rapid degradation of Tibetan mastiffs in the past decade, and the situation was really too serious.
Mr. Zhang Fan is the deputy director of Kunming Institute of Geography, Yunnan. He also helped the China Adventure Association to protect Tibetan mastiffs. Zhang Fan said that the aim of the association is to protect the culture and nature in remote areas of China, and exploration is only a process of protection. According to this purpose, the project selection of the society is mainly the combination of culture and nature. The protection of Tibetan mastiffs has both these points. The most important manifestation of the degeneration mentioned by Zhang Fan is that he is getting thinner and thinner. "Tibetan mastiffs have some basic characteristics, such as high head and shoulders, at least 60 cm high back, and 70 or 80 cm large. With the increasing convenience of transportation between Tibet and the mainland, many mainland dogs go in to interbreed Tibetan mastiff. There are many Tibetan mastiffs under 50 cm now. Not only that, many good Tibetan mastiffs are sold to the mainland. Regarding this situation of Tibetan mastiff, Zhang Fan said that ordinary Tibetans don't have much consciousness.
In addition to physical deterioration, mental deterioration is more serious. Zhang Fan said that traditional Tibetan mastiffs are very wary of strangers. If strangers usually pounce on you, now many dogs will ignore you if they bark at most twice. He believes that this is related to the loss of the functional value of the Tibetan mastiff itself. "In the past, Tibetan mastiffs were good guard dogs, even watchdog dogs, but now they are not needed." China Exploration Association established a Tibetan mastiff breeding base near Meili Snow Mountain in Deqin, Yunnan. Deqin was chosen because of its high altitude, which is very important for the development of Tibetan mastiffs who live in high altitude areas all the year round. From 199 1, Zhang Fan goes to all parts of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau every year to find excellent Tibetan mastiffs, sometimes as many as three times a year. "In the past, there were many wolves on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. 199 1 When I first went to Tibet, I walked out of the tent in the morning and there were several wolves not far away. 1998 and 1999 are occasionally encountered in the wild. When they meet a wolf, they scare away first. Without wolves, the importance of Tibetan mastiffs to Tibetans is also decreasing, and the varieties of Tibetan mastiffs are also deteriorating. "
Zhang Fan said that as an ancient China breed, Tibetan mastiff has never been artificially purified. At present, AKC(American Kennel Club) has drawn up a discussion draft of Tibetan mastiff standards, some of which are quite different from those traditionally recognized in China. For example, Americans don't recognize the white Tibetan mastiff, but Zhang Fan said that he had seen the strong gray Tibetan mastiff with his own eyes. Rudy even thinks that the white Tibetan mastiff is the best among Tibetan mastiffs. Zhang Fan thinks that AKC is "too arbitrary". "Although AKC has experience and technology, this standard does not take into account the diversity of Tibetan mastiff as a breed. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is so big that even Tibetans have different lifestyles in different areas. Dogs and humans have evolved and developed at the same time, and they are also diverse. Not only the shapes are diverse, but also the mouth, eyes and lips are different. Tibetan mastiffs in Qinghai are different from those in Tibet. Altun Mountain and Hoh Xil are connected together, where Tibetan mastiffs are similar, tall and big. Qinghai Tibetan mastiff near Sichuan and Gansu has a kind of masculinity, which is very strong. Tibetan mastiffs in Diqing area are mostly black and gold, with tall figures and prominent foreheads. "
Can the breeding base of Tibetan mastiff, which is now blooming everywhere, save the fate of Tibetan mastiff? Zhang Fan said that Tibetan mastiffs raised at high altitude and low altitude have obvious differences in body shape and temperament. "Beijing and Hebei are very hot in summer. Tibetan mastiff's body was originally adapted to the local thin air and high altitude cold conditions. In Beijing and Hebei, the long hair of Tibetan mastiffs has become a burden. I see many Tibetan mastiffs are lazy and don't want to move at all. There is a big Tibetan mastiff in Kunming Lotus Market. It was so hot that it drooled and remained motionless all day, becoming a big pug. "
The Tibetan Mastiff Protection Project of China Exploration Association hopes to breed the excellent Tibetan Mastiffs to a certain number of populations, and then return to Tibet to establish a Tibetan Mastiff Protection Area for stocking. Construction began in 2004. At present, there are 15 Tibetan mastiffs in the base, and puppies will be born in recent years. Although Deqin has a high altitude, it is too close to the mainland, with limited stocking range and insufficient original ecological environment, so it does not have the conditions to set up a protected area. They envisage cooperating with the government of Xizang Autonomous Region to choose an area, which can be a state or county, as a Tibetan mastiff protection area. After the mongrel dogs in this area are cleared, foreign dogs are prohibited from entering through legislation at the same time, and then the excellent Tibetan mastiffs in the base are given to Tibetans in the reserve free of charge. After 5 to 10 years, a relatively pure primitive Tibetan mastiff population will be formed in the local area. Regarding whether Tibetans will sell Tibetan mastiffs again, Zhang Fan said that the establishment of the reserve is to avoid such a thing. "The local government must be involved, otherwise NGOs will not be able to guarantee this."
Both Lu Di and Zhang Fan specifically mentioned the different attitudes of Han nationality and most ethnic minorities towards dogs. "Tibetans love dogs very much. I saw an old lady in rags sitting in front of the Potala Palace in Tibet, taking out a large piece of glutinous rice from a cloth bag and feeding it to three or four dogs, and it soon disappeared. " Zhang Fan said it was in the early 1990s. At that time, there were many dog holes on the side of Lhasa Mountain and many dogs in the city. Nobody takes care of them. They are free. "That's not a wild dog, it's a free dog. Most of them are not raised in temples, but fed by monks and ordinary people. Actually, it has changed since then. There are no dogs in Lhasa now. "
Compared with ethnic minorities who generally like dogs, Zhang Fan said that the traditional culture of China, which is dominated by the Han nationality, has never given dogs a decent place. In short, as long as the word dog is put in front, the taste will completely change. Without the cultural awareness of ethnic minorities and westerners on dogs, it is difficult to protect not only Tibetan mastiffs, but also other China breeds. Many years ago, Zhang Fan worked and lived in a Bai mountainous area in Yunlong County, Dali. The Bai people there are closer to the Yi people and like hunting. "I stayed there for a year and found that they used their own standards to divide hounds into one, two and three. Whoever has a first-class dog has a high status. In an ecology somewhat similar to primitive productism, after the prey is hit, the internal organs are given to the first-class dog first. Back in the village, families share their prey equally, and first-class dogs can get a separate share like people. Mountain areas have their own traditional standards to define what a first-class dog is: curly tail, big head, ability to climb trees and swim ... I know a family in the village has a first-class dog, which is very important in the village. Later, the dog was killed by a leopard while hunting. Since then, the man has been unhappy and drunk all day, and the whole family has gone from bad to worse, and finally became the poorest family in the village. This fully demonstrates the partnership between local dogs and people, and dogs do not have such a high status in the farming nation. "
Lu Di said that when I was a child, I read the three-character scripture, "Dogs keep their jobs, chickens are in the morning", and "Horses, cows, sheep, chickens and dogs are chased, and these six animals are fed", which still affirmed the role of dogs. In the eyes of westerners, no other animal can match the affection between dogs and people. In ancient China, dogs were listed among the six animals, but they were not given the status of human companions. The last thing foreigners understand is eating dog meat. "When no one knew that Tibetan mastiffs were valuable before, many Han Chinese who went to Tibet used Tibetan mastiff meat as meat buns. This is a big piece of meat. Foreigners can't understand it anyway. How much does it cost to make a meat bun with such a precious thing? You see, ethnic minorities, Mongolians, Tibetans and Manchus don't eat dogs, except Koreans. Few ordinary people actually ate dogs before. They think dogs are human beings and few people eat them. In recent years, they began to kill dogs on a large scale. Huajiang dog meat' is not very famous? I think the so-called vegetable dog (China Garden Dog) is really a dependent companion in China agricultural society. Ou Yangyuqian's daughter Ouyang Jingru and I found some retired cadres and asked them to help protect dogs. Someone told us that if we want to help, we can write a word to protect the dog. " "They all love dog meat." Reid said.
Zhang Fan said: "The so-called vegetable dogs in China (collectively referred to as local dogs, also known as Shiba Inu and China Garden Dogs) actually look very cute. After the introduction of Japanese, people are making standards to cultivate and become famous dogs. We have done too little research in this field and paid too little attention to it. The Ministry of Public Security has done a good job in this regard. In order to reduce the import of a large number of working dogs, such as police dogs and anti-smuggling dogs, the Ministry of Public Security established a police dog base in Kunming, Yunnan Province, and directionally cultivated working dogs named Kunming dogs with German shepherd dogs and local breeds. It has surpassed the German Shepherd in many indexes such as running speed, endurance and life span, and is the only successful example of breeding excellent new dog breeds in China. There are so many hunting nationalities in our country, and there are many excellent dog breeds, but they are not well protected. " Lu Di also holds this view: "An organization should be established. For example, you can go to Tibet to ask the old people how to raise Tibetan mastiffs in the past, or you can go abroad to pursue the bloodline of Jingba ... There is no animal protection law in China. I don't think we should eat dog meat at least until 2008? "
With regard to the development of local dogs in China, almost all the experts interviewed emphasized that China people need to formulate their own local dog standards. Zhang Fan and others are now cooperating with Kunming Institute of Zoology. "We went to various places to collect dog blood samples for their analysis and study the genetic advantages of Tibetan dog breeds. China, a country with a vast territory and rich resources, is so rich in cultural and natural diversity that it must have its own well-known dog breeds. " However, Zhang Fan also pointed out that this is a very difficult thing. To this end, the government should play an organizational role, unite researchers within the government and the people, and at the same time need an authoritative official institution to recognize the investigation and research. Otherwise, China, which has the most abundant canine genes, will continue to face the embarrassing situation that there are only 10 internationally recognized famous dogs.
Professor Gao Deyi, an expert in animal medicine at China Agricultural University, said that in 1945, an Englishman also recorded a running hound named Shandong Elite Dog in his book on dogs, which was unique in Liangshan, Shandong. Another record is Mongolian mastiff. "The tall Mongolian guard dog described in the book was seen in Inner Mongolia many years ago. It is a big khaki dog, which is different from Tibetan mastiff, but it is hard to find now. " Speaking of the pocket dog, which is considered to be the best among dogs, Gao Deyi said that it is difficult to be sure that such a dog breed really existed. "Now almost no one has seen this thing. Some breeds of dogs are also very small at birth. Besides, people in China used to wear big sleeves. How can they match the sleeves now? What's more, is this puppy that is said to be seen occasionally a dwarf among dogs? Because if we want to call it a variety, scientifically speaking, we must have stable genetic genes and a certain number of populations. If only a few appear occasionally, it is hard to say that this is a variety. "
"Still the Englishman. At that time, he found a local hound in Chongqing, Sichuan, which he called the East Sichuan hound. This is also a very distinctive China local dog. " Gao Deyi said. However, decades have passed, so far, there is no institution or individual in China who can make a clear investigation of China's own local dog breeds like this Englishman, let alone set standards and conduct genetic analysis and identification.
Which organization in China should be responsible for this work? Gao Deyi believes that this government agency should be the Ministry of Agriculture. "Since ancient times, China dogs have been listed as the first of the six livestock. Although there is no official document saying that dogs are under the control of the Ministry of Agriculture, in fact, many aspects are supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture. " Gao Deyi said that up to now, China has not organized experts to make a careful investigation on dog breeds, and some investigations made by folk dog-raising experts and enthusiasts have not been approved. "If we are a private self-certification, there is no national recognition, and now it is definitely not possible. What's more, there are not many famous dog experts in China. Who can say that he is a dog expert? " Gao Deyi said with a smile: "I can say that I know something about dogs, but I can't say that I am an expert on dogs. I can only say that I study animals. "
Han Xiaodong's ideal of a good dog
A few years ago, a student in the sculpture department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts fell in love with a boutique dog because he happened to see a palace painting. At this time, in Hebei, a chicken farm owner has started his dream in Hejian village, trying to revitalize this excellent dog. After they got to know each other, they took aim at a dog painted in the court-"Bamboo Shadow Western Painting" painted by Lang Shining, a foreign missionary in Qing Dynasty. They dream of cultivating this picture "Emperor Kangxi's Favorite Dog": a blue-gray short-haired fine dog. Because the fur color of the superior dog in this painting fascinates them more than the hounds of various colors in Ten Horses painted by Lang Shining and another foreign missionary at the same time, ignatius Szicher Bart. However, Mr. Nie Chongzheng, an expert in the Palace Museum who has been studying the palace paintings in Qing Dynasty for a long time, pointed out that "Bamboo Shadows and Western Paintings" was not written by Kangxi, but it can be seen from the name of the painting that it was actually a western dog that trained these two addicts. However, this beautiful mistake started a correct action-from 1996, the cultivation of China fine dogs has been carried out for nearly 10 years under the guidance of these two clear standards. Mr. Zhang Fan, an expert from Yunnan Institute of Geography, who is committed to the protection of Tibetan mastiff breeds, stressed to reporters that only by formulating a standard and conducting unremitting training on this standard can the breeding of a dog breed be on the right track.
Boutique dogs have changed the life trajectories of these two people-Han Xiaodong, a graduate student of Sculpture Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts; Cao Shuangcang, founder of thoroughbred dog breeding base in Liugumiao Town, hejian city. They also tried to influence the fate of this China boutique dog to some extent.
When I met Han Xiaodong, he was having a warm conversation with a middle-aged man. Almost an hour later, he said apologetically that the State Council sent someone to make a statue of former vice premier and one-armed general Yu. This middle-aged man is his son Yu. Han Xiaodong's occupation is sculpture, but when the prologue quickly transited from Liu Kaiqu, the old director of the sculpture department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, his speech speed was obviously accelerated. On the laptop, Han Xiaodong showed the reporter his most proud "work"-"bean paste", a blue-gray female boutique dog. What makes him even more proud is that the dog's coat color and appearance are very similar to the dog in the Western Bamboo Shadow collected by Shenyang Palace Museum, the ultimate goal of Han Xiaoyang's cultivation. The design printed on the best-selling gold bricks of the Year of the Dog distributed by the National Museum is also a famous dog in the Western Bamboo Shadow.
The fate of Han Xiaodong and the good dog can be said to come from this painting. In the third year of college, a friend gave Han Xiaodong an exquisite puppy. At that time, he didn't care too much. When the puppy grew up, he found that the dog was very similar to the dog in the Western Bamboo Shadow he had seen before. Han Xiaodong said that this discovery made him fascinated with superior dogs, especially the superior dogs of that color in the painting. Later, after the puppy named Feifei got lost, he began to look for this puppy on the Internet, thus knowing Cao Shuangcang, who raised this puppy in Hejian. "I saw Lao Cao's website on the Internet, then chatted with him and got to know him. At that time, there were more than 200 dogs and all kinds of dogs in his yard. " For the first time, Han Xiaodong spent 400 yuan buying a boutique dog from Cao Shuangcang, which was also the only time that Cao Shuangcang sold the dog to Han Xiaodong, and they finally became like-minded friends.
Like many breeds in China, boutique dogs are actually diverse in color and size, especially in color. Even in October, Han Xiaodong was identified as an excellent dog, and the dog's black, white, yellow, gray and various colors also existed. However, Han Xiaodong recognized a dog with a bluish gray back and a white abdomen and tail tip, because this was in line with the color characteristics of the dog in "Western Bamboo Shadow". However, it is easy to set goals, but it is not easy to cultivate such strain. The practice of Han Xiaodong and Cao Shuangcang is to look for puppies with matching colors among the puppies collected, and use these puppies to continuously purify them. At present, the purified blue-gray "red bean paste" is two years old and has just given birth to a litter of puppies and five puppies. "This little guy has very beautiful eyes," Han Xiaodong said. "Bean paste" is the sixth generation in purification process. Internationally recognized, if a dog breed's genes are stably propagated to five generations, that is, a dog has the same coat color and body shape characteristics for five consecutive generations, it can be said that a stable breed has been basically cultivated. According to this requirement, Han Xiaodong can only say that "bean paste" is 1 generation at most.
Speaking of purification, Han Xiaodong said it was a cruel process. "Just like burning charcoal, a large amount of wood can only produce a small amount of charcoal." Choose the color recognized by puppies from generation to generation, and then repeat it. Most puppies that don't meet the standard-the wrong color, the wrong size, or genetic diseases caused by inbreeding-will be eliminated. Han Xiaodong estimates that up to now, more than 500 dogs have been screened in this process, which is unacceptable for the dog's life and human wallet. However, there seems to be no choice. As Han Xiaodong asked, what better way can you do?
"This is a dog that was eliminated before, and their color can't be maintained." Han Xiaodong pointed to the picture on the computer and said, "Actually, when it comes to how to treat the eliminated dogs, my opinion is to give them away through sterilization." Sterilize the dog and give it away. This is a very human idea, but it is difficult to operate. "The key question is, who did you give it to? If you choose large dogs, dog owners in the city may keep Song Shiquan, Saint Bernard and huskies, but few people know about boutique dogs. Even if he sees a good dog, he may say, Oh, this dog is special. But if you let him keep it, he usually won't. Besides, people in China are not used to keeping a sterile dog. Why do I want a dog eunuch? The question is, if you want to breed it, can you find the right dog? "
Recalling a dog exhibition held in Beijing Chaoyang Park in 2003, Han Xiaodong said that many people didn't know about this good dog, and he felt embarrassed. "At that time, the referee was still a foreigner, and several people in Taiwan Province Province knew him and said that you were a good dog." In this environment, the fate of the boutique dog being eliminated has long been decided. Han Xiaodong did not shy away from the regret and helplessness brought by using some inhuman means in the process of eliminating dogs. But his goal is clear and firm. "My inner thoughts may be a bit cruel, that is, as an excellent breed in China, fine dogs would rather die than surrender. Otherwise, these dogs will only accelerate the disappearance of boutique dogs. "
When Han Xiaodong became interested in Hebei thoroughbred dogs, the earliest Shaanxi famous dogs had been artificially hyped. It turns out that the fine dog, as a speed hound, has been widely distributed in Shaanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Inner Mongolia and other places in northern China for thousands of years. However, in the wave of hype, the price of Shaanxi fine dogs, which was originally stable, was once tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, which led to the rapid irrational breeding of China fine dogs. Han Xiaodong said that many people use imported Lingti skewers to cross thoroughbred dogs. The original Lingti came from Russia and Australia, and some were eliminated from Macao. Because the explosive power and speed of Beagle dogs are not as good as those of Lingti, even worse than those of Lingti and Beagle dogs, the situation of purebred Beagle dogs plummeted in a few years. Han Xiaodong said that it was about 1994 to 1996, and the price of fine dogs suddenly collapsed overnight, and finally it turned out to be the price of meat dogs.
"My analysis has two points. On the one hand, it is the impact of foreign varieties and the worship of foreign things in some China people's bones, but the most crucial thing is the way of doing things in some China people-many people are trying to make money instead of keeping dogs. As long as they can make money, they can immediately go to the other side of the dog's interests. And I also firmly believe that most people who keep boutique dogs now are also for making money, not for any country. The reason why I don't want to mention the boutique dog is that I am worried that it will be hyped again. If you speculate on this thing again, it will be completely finished. " Han Xiaodong mentioned the movie just aired by CCTV 7. "On the second day of the broadcast, my mobile phone was ringing off the hook. Many people in Hebei and Shandong asked me to buy my dog, which is the descendant of' bean paste', each with 50 thousand. They are also very direct, that is, they are bought and raised to make money. In fact, I also need money very much, but I can't sell it. "
Han Xiaodong likes to collect all kinds of toys since he was a child, including fish, birds, cats, dogs and eagles. Until now, Han Xiaodong still keeps fish and golden eagles, and he is familiar with this road. He laughed at himself as an ancient dude. Although there are so many seemingly rich hobbies, Han Xiaodong said that he was actually born in an ordinary family. My father is a chemical engineer in Tianjin, and my mother is an administrative cadre of Tianjin Second Light Industry Bureau. In his words, the economic conditions at home are average. "From the situation of others, I (the experience of raising a dog) is meaningless." Although he said that he is one of the students who can earn money, these incomes are not fixed and not a sum. A sculpture job may cost thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, but compared with the routine expenses of raising dogs, these are not well-off economically. "The dog this thing to see what happened to you. Feeding doesn't cost much, eating dog food, eating ordinary food, and not eating advanced food. One day 10 yuan is always enough. Dogs in rural areas can only eat corn flour and vegetable soup, and even go out to find food by themselves. In my opinion, this is a bit inhuman. "
Working around to earn money, then giving time and money, in his words, giving the dog the opportunity to make money. He persisted for so many years, not only because of Ye Gong Long Hao, but also because Han Xiaodong had his own internal power source. "I used to want to collect the best dogs, raise the best fish and shoot the best eagles, all to satisfy my vanity. Now, through my efforts, I have a dog, and I regard it as a living work.
