My 1995 Small Farm.

"It's not that there are difficulties..."

Chen Ling hesitated for a moment, then stood up, shook the water off his hands, and led them to the stone pavilion in the bamboo forest.

Then they called over the pack of dogs.

When Zhao Gang saw the dogs, he opened his mouth wide: "My goodness, these dogs are huge! I didn't realize it from the photos, but now that I see them, the biggest black dog doesn't even look like a dog. Standing among the pack, it looks more like a black lion."

No wonder he exaggerates like that.

As Heiwa grows into adulthood, he becomes increasingly robust and muscular every winter and spring after molting.

His body was all muscle, and his frame was getting bigger and bigger, with his four legs like small pillars.

If you dress it up and make it look like a real lion, some people might believe it.

"This big yellow dog is also good-looking. It looks like a wolf, but it's much better-looking than a wolf... Tsk tsk, its face and eyes are quite delicate."

Zhao Gang clicked his tongue in amazement, quite surprised that he could see elegance in a dog.

"The big yellow dog you mentioned is the king of my pack of dogs; even the big black dog has to listen to it."

Chen Ling smiled and said.

"Huh? This yellow dog is the king of dogs?"

Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment.

Li Min was somewhat surprised, let alone Zhao Gang.

Heiwa's appearance is so imposing that anyone who sees it for the first time will be stunned and think that this dog must be extraordinary.

I subconsciously assumed that the big black dog was the king of dogs.

In reality, despite his domineering demeanor, Heiwa's true nature has never changed; he's still the same playful, goofy dog ​​he always was.

Why does it like to follow Rui Rui?

First, cherish your little master.

Another advantage is that the little owner can play with it in various ways.

For this, he endured being tormented by Rui Rui all day long, having his eyes gouged out and his tongue pulled out, while also licking her face and following her around.

Chen Ling cursed it as a worthless bastard all day long.

However, I am still very gratified and proud of this sensible dog.

"Yes, this yellow dog of mine is also from our local Tiger Head Yellow breed. Now it can climb trees, climb mountain ridges and cliffs, go into the water, and it can also catch, manage, and find scorpions on its own, and lead a pack of dogs to hunt..."

In short, my big yellow dog is practically an all-around hunting dog, proficient in everything.

Chen Ling stroked Xiao Jin's head with a smile on his face: "I'm not just saying this to praise my dog. Comrade Zhao Gang, I have to ask you, is this the kind of hunting dog you want for military purposes?"

This question stumped Zhao Gang.

Such an all-around hunting dog would certainly be good as a military dog.

But are they easy to train?

The answer is definitely not easy.

Chen Ling's side only has one of these dogs, and it's the king of dogs.

Seeing that Zhao Gang remained silent, Li Min asked again, "Mr. Chen, are you saying that military dogs are harder to train than hunting dogs? And that it's not easy to successfully train one?"

"That's not it."

Chen Ling shook his head: "Training dogs isn't difficult for me, but the real problem now isn't training dogs. As Comrade Zhao Gang said, the main problem is the lack of good breeds..."

Training a dog is not difficult; the key is the breed.

Some dogs are just naturally obedient, like the German Shepherd, also known as the German Shepherd, which is commonly used by the military and police.

But some dogs are just not good, like huskies. One dog can corrupt a whole group, and one even led a rebellion in the army.

This is why we need to import foreign dog breeds.

Some countries have been using military dogs since World War II, and their breeds have continued for countless generations.

I have to admit, it's really good.

Of course.

This is not to say that foreign dogs are better.

It's because the country hasn't started to pay attention to it yet.

We only started establishing our breeding base two years ago, so what do we have to compare with others?
"I understand, Brother Chen, you mean the problem with military dogs isn't with dog training, but with the breed."

Zhao Gang slapped his forehead and looked at the big yellow dog next to Chen Ling: "Also, your dog king is so powerful, as a superior breed, it must be just as good as foreign dogs."

Instead of focusing on training dogs, wouldn't it be better to find a top-quality dog ​​like this big yellow dog in China and train it intensively?

"Brother Zhao is right. My dog's talent isn't entirely due to my training; it's more about the dog's natural abilities."

As the old saying goes, it's easy to find a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a general.

A king dog is like a great general among dogs; they are rare and highly sought after.

Instead of spending time and energy training dogs, you should find one of the best hunting dogs, the kind that are chosen from hundreds. These dogs have good natural talent, and their offspring are more likely to be even better.

I believe the offspring bred from these breeds will be almost as good as foreign breeds.

Chen Ling nodded, speaking his mind about dogs.

"So, Brother Chen, what about your dog here..."

Seeing that Chen Ling had explained things so clearly, Zhao Gang, who had originally intended to suggest that Chen Ling's dogs help with crossbreeding with military dogs, now began to have doubts.

He shook his head and smiled at Chen Ling, "I always had a feeling that you've been researching these things for a while now, Brother Chen."

"Haha, Brother Zhao has such keen insight, no wonder you came from the army."

Chen Ling gave a thumbs up: "I actually started thinking about this last year. These days, foreign dogs are very popular, and people look down on our good native dogs. I just want them to know that the best breed is the Chinese rural dog..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang slapped his thigh before Chen Ling could finish speaking, exclaiming excitedly, "Brother, you're so magnanimous! I admire people like you who are capable and have the country at heart!"

"No, no, I was just messing around with it, doing whatever I wanted."

Chen Ling waved his hands repeatedly.

Zhao Gang, however, was very concerned. "Brother, you're too modest. If this succeeds, it will be a great thing for the country!"

Then came a barrage of praise. Chen Ling didn't know how to respond.

He wasn't being modest.

It really was just an accident caused by Heiwa's misdeeds.

When Heiwa first got involved with the wolf pack, he was somewhat worried about their livelihood.

Until one day I suddenly saw a swarm of bees.

I feel that I can cultivate and optimize local bee breeds.

So dogs and cats are fine too.

Then, naturally, it developed into local scalpers.

This also needs to be saved.

In short, a whole series of plans were then developed.

He thought to himself at that moment.

Since he enjoys this kind of life and can't live without cats, dogs, and cows, why not do something meaningful while enjoying this life?

"Oh dear, we've gone off on a tangent. Hey bro, I remember you just said that military dogs are actually quite easy to train, right?"

After talking with Chen Ling, Zhao Gang had already started calling him "brother" affectionately.

"Yes, military dogs are much easier to train than hunting dogs."

Chen Ling nodded. Military dogs are different from hunting dogs.

Hunting dogs must be fierce, bold, and have a good sense of smell.

Military dogs only need to have a good sense of smell and good obedience.

It sounds like military dogs are more formidable than hunting dogs.

Actually not.

Whether military dogs or police dogs, they all use their sense of smell to serve the people.

It plays a supporting role.

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up as he listened, and he became more and more convinced of Chen Ling's abilities.

Goodness, this young man has definitely done his research; he's absolutely right.

This trip was not in vain.

"If you want good military dogs, do you know what the fastest way is right now?"

"What's the method? Tell me quickly, brother, don't keep me in suspense!"

"The fastest way is to crossbreed with wolves... The resulting puppies will have a significantly improved sense of smell and endurance compared to the original breed."

Furthermore, after crossbreeding with wolves, you'll find that the first generation of puppies become very intelligent, and intelligent dogs are more likely to understand commands.

Sense of smell.

endurance.

clever.

Obedience.

These are all the features that police dogs and military dogs should have.

They interbreed with wolves.

This represents the wolf's intelligence, as well as the fact that endurance and sense of smell are also inherited from wolves.

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was quite excited.

But soon, he frowned slightly: "Brother, to be honest, this method is good, but if you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have noticed that dogs that are crossbred with wolves have a stronger sense of smell and endurance, and are also smarter."

But there's a downside: these wolf cubs are too wild, difficult to train, and prone to injuring people.

"Haha, Brother Zhao, what you're saying..."

Chen Ling patted his shoulder, stood up, and said to the group of first-generation wolfhounds in front of him, "My first-generation wolfhounds are also very wild, each with its own temperament, but they have never hurt anyone. Do you know why?"

"Huh? Why? Isn't it because you taught me well?"

"Haha, that's one aspect too."

Another very important reason is that I took them hunting everywhere from a young age, running around and meeting people everywhere, with hardly any rest day after day... Over time, with so much activity and so many people, their innate wolfishness was greatly worn away.

There is certainly no shortage of activity or manpower in the military.

As long as this dog is often with people and knows how to obey them, even if it's a little fierce, it's fine..."

Zhao Gang seemed about to say something.

Chen Ling continued, "Even if the first generation of wolfhounds had various problems, don't forget that we were aiming for selective breeding. Even among the nine sons of the dragon, each one is different. There are those with strong wildness and those with weak wildness."

Why don't you just select those that are less wild but can inherit the strengths of wolves, and breed them for several generations?

Chen Ling wasn't just making things up.

Even the renowned 'Kunming Dog' was bred for seven or eight generations before it was officially selected to serve as a police and military dog.

You can't succeed overnight.

Ordinary people shouldn't even dream of getting a large number of good dogs all at once.

As I said before, this is something that can only be encountered by chance.

"Oh~"

After listening to Chen Ling's words, Zhao Gang clapped his hands and let out a long "Oh".

A sudden smile appeared on his face: "I understand, I understand, now I get it. We just didn't understand before."

Not to mention him, even Li Min understood it.

I thought to myself that this kid rarely talks this much to strangers from out of town. It seems he really is the dog king he's rumored to be, getting all excited when dogs are mentioned.

"Brother, you're amazing! You should become an instructor at our dog training center from now on. Don't refuse, I'll put you on the honor roll when I get back."
