C1899

"Sorry to disappoint you. We are not from the Inland Revenue Department." The woman has a good sense of humor: "I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Catherine from the Kansas City branch of express. This is Pluto."

"Express? What is it for? " Norun asked.

"We are a credit card issuing service," Katherine replied

"Well? Is it for us to get a credit card? " Nolan asked curiously.

Catherine was speechless. She decided not to go around the Bush: "are you Mr. Xiao's friend, please?"

"Mr. Xiao?" Norren and Jennie are with you. Look at me. I see you are confused. "We don't know anyone by that name."

Katherine blinked. "Are you Mr. Nolan buccinell and Ms. Jennie busnier?"

"Of course Said norren.

"Don't you know Mr. Shaw? Chinese. It's less than one meter eight. "

After hearing this, norun suddenly realized: "Oh, he was here just now, but his surname is not Xiao, his name is Peng!"

Katherine was speechless: "he is a Chinese. His name is Xiao Peng. His family name is in the front and his name is in the back. So we should call him Mr. Xiao instead of Mr. Peng."

"Well, it doesn't make any difference, does it? Don't you know what's going on? "

Katherine nodded: "since you know Mr. Xiao, who is a senior customer of our express company, he just called us to thank you for your help, so we have a gift for you."

"Gift?" "What gift?" norun asked

Katherine pointed to the Volvo in the back and said, "first of all, this Volvo V60 station wagon is convenient for you to take your children to any place you want to go. The back space is so large that you can put a cow in it."

"You mean this car is ours?" Nolan didn't believe his ears.

Catherine said with a smile, "of course not."

After listening to her, the couple looked like, "are you playing with me?". As a result, Katherine went on to say, "after you sign these vehicle ownership documents, this car is yours."

Norren and Jennie are dumbfounded. Look at that Volvo station wagon. You look at me, I see you.

"I don't know who came to sign it?" Said Catherine, holding the folder.

Norren went to sign it, and Catherine gave him the key to the car: "Mr. bussiner, this car is yours. By the way, who's Mr. John busnier? "

Little John hid behind his mother and held out his head. "I'm sorry, my child is a little introverted and I can't get in touch with any outsiders here," said Jennie

Katherine said with a smile, "it doesn't matter, handsome little guy, and your present."

On one side, Pluto opens the door and takes out a large dog cage. Inside, there are four Miguel beagles, the prototype of the cartoon Snoopy.

"Little dog!" Little John saw the dog running over with excitement on his face and looked left and right in front of the cage.

"The key is that Mr. Shaw is in such a hurry that there is only one dog house in Kansas City called duel kennel. Although the kennel is certified by AKC, there is no good dog with good performance. He has never won the title in Westminster Abbey. It can only be regarded as a general racing dog. I wonder if you are satisfied with it

John has been trying to nod, although he does not know what is called AKC, what is called racing dog, but these four dogs are really cute.

The so-called "AKC" is the abbreviation of xingtiao Dog Club. It is also the largest dog club in the world. It is composed of more than 500 independent dog clubs around the world and more than 3800 affiliated clubs. Every year, there are nearly 20000 pet related activities approved by various AKC in xingtiao!

Westminster Dog Show is the highest level dog show held by AKC every year. It is also one of the top four dog shows in the world. If you can win the championship at this dog show? Then whether it's a kennel or a dog, it's going to be worth a lot!

Don't think a dog is worth nothing. In 2000, a German Shepherd named askow won the championship of the German Shepherd Association's special competition of German Shepherd Association, one of the four major dog shows. After winning the championship, a Middle East local tyrant directly offered 200 million US dollars for the dog. As a result, the owner of askow didn't sell it.. 。。。。

But it has also greatly stimulated the pet market. Nowadays, kennels are springing up like mushrooms. Although most of them talk about dogs, they are more because of business: do you want to breed any dogs in the dog farm if they are popular?

Of course, people eat this set. The dog that gets the result in the dog show is "good dog"! In the eyes of some people, "race dog" is much better than "pet class", and they also pay attention to the bloodline. In many people's eyes, the purer the bloodline is, the more lovely and noble the dog will be.

Anyone who thinks so is misled by dog dealers.When many people are complacent about how pure their dogs are, they don't know that in order to make their dogs look "more up to standard", they often adopt the method of inbreeding, mating and breeding, which is also called gene purification. As a result of this, diseases like cancer, epilepsy and low IQ can also happen to dogs. At present, many purebred dogs in the world are troubled by conservative genetic diseases --- which dogs are the most popular, which dogs have more genetic problems.

, for example, Labrador dogs, usually have eye diseases and arthritis; the incidence rate of cancer is the highest among all pure breed dogs; eight of the ten of the MDMC are just deaf; Chihuahua is usually eye and brain; korkhound is also susceptible to ear diseases; These genetic diseases are all related to the so-called "gene purification".

If we go back one hundred years ago, the appearance of all kinds of pet dogs that are well known now is very different from that of modern pet dogs.

For example, the "Bull Terrier" who bumped into a Chinese actor's face was not as round as it is now, but more like an Argentinean Dogo with sharp edges and corners. Another example is the dachshund. A hundred years ago, the Dachshund was only slightly longer, and the body proportion was very good. Today, the length of the Dachshund has reached a strange level As a result, dachshund dogs are more likely to suffer from intervertebral disc herniation and then become paralyzed. The famous German Shepherd is not the same as today, but more like a wolf. In order to pursue the so-called "bow back", the disease of hip and elbow joints is very serious. As a police dog, the German Shepherd doesn't look as good-looking as the competition, long legs and short body, but in terms of physical function, it is much better than that of the competition! There are countless examples, such as the boxer's face is half as short as it was a hundred years ago, and so is the mykiss, which makes it difficult for them to breathe, and too high a temperature to cause disease......

The reason why there were so many kinds of dogs in the past was to meet people's functional needs, such as asking dogs to help hunt, help pull sleds, and so on, so it gradually formed a variety of specific dog breeds. However, more than 100 years ago, when people started dog racing and started to take the aesthetic road of dogs, everything changed.

All the dog associations say they want to protect dogs, but in fact, it's about money.

One of the four largest dog associations in the world, and the oldest of the four, the eagle country Dog Association established breeding standards for almost all bloodline dogs. At that time, they asked to kill all dogs that did not meet the appearance and standard.

And the other dog associations are similar, and these dog associations use artificial standards to judge the shape of the dog, and the final result is that the genetic disease of dogs is now doubled.

Of course, these dog associations don't care about this, because it represents too many people's interests. Now the global pet market is a big market of more than 120 billion dollars a year! Among them, star country and maple leaf country account for half!

And you want to buy a dog in star point? That would be even more troublesome.

First of all, you should choose a kennel. Most of the kennels in xingtiao country are specialized in breeding one breed for decades, and a few breed several breeds. However, there must be some emphasis. The kennel that can breed two breeds at the same time is very rare. And these kennels are also divided into two lines, three lines.

For example, the money of the first-line kennels is beyond people's imagination. They focus on playing games, and they may only breed a litter of dogs in a year or two. When the female dog is still pregnant, the puppies are reserved. Just like those champions in the Westminster Dog Show, want to buy their offspring? That's really not a matter of money. It depends on the owner's mood. They choose customers.

The second tier kennels are those that breed while playing games. Generally, they can't win the champion of the top events, but they can be bigger and sell them to dog farms in Asian countries after landing. Most of the so-called "champion dogs" in Chinese dog farms come from this way.

And the third tier kennels are rarely contested, focusing on breeding and selling puppies. Of course, they won't do the things that let the puppies have two litters a year, which is not allowed by the animal protection law here.

These four puppies, like John's, are all from this kind of three line kennel.

However, although it is a third line kennel, and it is also a kennel certified by AKC, the puppies sold in such kennels must be purebred, which will be accompanied by a certificate of purebred, but most of them are pet grade rather than race grade.

But such puppies are not cheap. They cost hundreds of dollars. If it's a match? Thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars, that's normal.

Catherine looked at the way little John liked it and said with a smile, "handsome boy, you must treat them better. In order not to sterilize them, Mr. Xiao paid 5000 dollars."

"How much do you say?"
