Chapter 393: Site Adaptation Training, Getting to Know Friends
The registration for the Wolf Dog Competition has been approved. After paying the registration fee of 100 yuan, Leopard Ball officially qualified for the competition. Two days before the competition, Li Youran drove Leopard Ball to the competition venue for adaptive training.
This is the playground of a vocational and technical school located on the outskirts of Nancheng, temporarily rented by the Wolf Dog Fans Association.
The parking lot was just outside the playground, with the association's logo hanging on the side. Li Youran drove the car into the parking lot, parked it, opened the door and got out.
The barbed wire gate of the playground is open. At first glance, the venue is not small. Various competition equipment, high jumps, board walls, fish scale boards, etc. are set up on the original plastic track. There are already many people with wolfhounds there.
Activities inside.
Seeing that the board wall was temporarily free, Li Youran took Leopard Ball and ran over there to let him get used to regular equipment.
Leopard Ball was already familiar with this event. After receiving the instructions, he took off, jumped, and climbed over, completing the movements neatly.
Li Youran ordered it to repeat twice more.
"Okay!" A cheer came from the side.
Li Youran turned around and saw a thin-faced man in his thirties standing not far away, wearing a blue down jacket, applauding.
Next to the man was squatting a strong, big black man. His head and neck looked very strong and muscular, with his neck held high and a small patch of white hair on his chest. He was looking at the leopard ball intently.
"Little brother, your dog's movements are really nimble. You have practiced well." The man took the initiative to come forward and chat.
"Haha, I'm a newbie. I'm just learning. Please give me some advice." Li Youran saw that the other person was of the same mind, so he answered humbly.
"Heh, advice is out of the question. Come on, Lake, say hello." The man lowered his head and ordered.
"Woof woof, woof woof." The black-backed man named Lake shouted at Li Youran.
"Leopard Qiu, say hello." Li Youran also gave instructions to Leopard Qiu.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof." Leopard Ball stretched out his neck and shouted. After shouting, he looked at the same kind intently, looking very curious.
It’s no wonder. Since it came to Baozipu, it has lived with people all day long and has basically had no contact with other dogs.
The man took out a box of cigarettes, took one out and handed it to Li Youran. After being declined, he lit it and started smoking.
The man was an acquaintance, and while he was smoking, he started chatting about dog breeding and dog reading. Li Youran saw that the other person was a professional, so he naturally listened attentively and even joined in with a few words from time to time. The two chatted for a while. It felt quite good.
Speculation, so the topic gradually opened up.
The man claimed to be Qiu Guoqiang, and he and his friends jointly opened a small dog farm, mainly breeding wolfhounds, Tibetan mastiffs and other large and powerful dogs.
Dog farms, like other companies in the market, also face fierce competition. In addition to advertising, breeding excellent dog breeds to participate in competitions and obtain good rankings is an effective way to become famous.
You must know that if you are lucky enough to own a championship dog, the direct and indirect benefits it brings to the dog farm cannot be underestimated. The price of the offspring of a champion dog can be more than ten times that of similar puppies of similar appearance. Not to mention the dog farm
The increased reputation has attracted widespread attention from customers.
Qiu Guoqiang and his friend's dog farm business was mediocre. So they followed this idea and frequently participated in various large and small competitions in the past few years. Unfortunately, after many efforts, they only won the first and second place in two small competitions, such as one held by the Tianhai Wolf Dog Association.
This kind of large-scale competition has so many experts that we have participated in it for two consecutive years and did not even make it to the top eight, which is really frustrating.
This year, we changed our thinking. We would rather be short-circuited than reckless. We only selected the black back of Lake as the only player. We carefully built and trained strictly, hoping to make some achievements.
Lake is two years old this year and is a purebred German Shepherd. Both his parents are imported breeding dogs at high prices. The dog farm hired professionals to conduct comprehensive training for him, and he has high hopes for this competition.
"Brother Li, don't you not like what I have to say." Qiu Guoqiang looked at Leopard Ball and hesitated to speak.
"It's okay, Brother Qiu, just say whatever you want." Li Youran quickly expressed that he didn't mind.
"Okay, let me tell you, your dog is called Leopard Ball, right? It looks good in body, but unfortunately the breed is not pure enough. It will suffer a loss in the competition." Qiu Guoqiang shook his head slightly and said.
Then he went on to describe in detail the standard appearance of a purebred German Shepherd.
Li Youran was stunned for a moment, but soon figured it out.
The leopard ball was given to Fatty Luo by someone last year. This illustrates the problem. If the bloodline was noble, it would have been sold at a high price. How could it be given away easily? Later, because Fatty Luo's mother refused to keep it, he got the bun shop.
As for the origins of his parents, nothing is known.
In this aspect, it is definitely not as good as the breeds of professional dog breeders. I wish I could have a clearly listed family tree with eight generations of ancestors.
However, Li Youran doesn't pay much attention to the bloodline of dog breeds. Going back further, the ancestors of wolf dogs are also hybrids of wolves and dogs. There is no such thing as pure or impure. After a series of changes, their descendants have become relatively mature.
Stable genes. Later, the so-called standard form was artificially formulated. Anyone who did not conform to it was considered to have impure blood, which is called "string". Of course, there is also a question of how much "string" there is.
But in Li Youran's mind, he doesn't think that the IQ and ability of high-purity wolf dogs can far exceed other mixed-breed dog breeds. Problems such as genetic diseases and inbreeding are often more serious than the latter. There has always been a saying among the people that
It’s just that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases than Chuan Chuan, which may prove something.
"Brother Qiu, I am just doing this as a hobby. Leopard Ball is smart and has a good understanding of human nature. I just came here to join in the fun and gain experience, and I don't want to win a championship or anything like that.
It doesn't matter." Li Youran said in a low-key tone. She didn't want to argue with him on this issue. After all, this represents the views of most dog owners and it is not easy to change.
"That's right, just be happy." Qiu Guoqiang nodded to express his understanding.
While people were chatting, the two dogs came close to each other and sniffed at each other, seemingly very friendly.
Qiu Guoqiang felt that he should let his new little brother learn something, so he aroused Lake and asked him to practice climbing over the wall board.
Lake flicked his tail, as if he wanted to show off his skills in front of the leopard ball. Following his master's instructions, he took two steps back and jumped up. He put his front paws on the top of the board and crossed easily with a brush. His movements were graceful and free.
Li Youran clapped and cheered, and Leopard Ball also barked twice, cheering for his kind.
Qiu Guoqiang was very satisfied with Lake's performance, and then asked Li Youran to go to the fish scale obstacle together.
The fish scale board is a bit like a washboard, but the texture is smoother and not easy to grab. Its angle is adjustable, which are 50 degrees, 60 degrees and 70 degrees respectively. It mainly tests the dog's ability to climb obstacles.
.For most dogs, it is a relatively difficult project.
"Leike, enter." Qiu Guoqiang ordered.
Lake climbed over the 50-degree fish scale board easily, and then adjusted it to 60 degrees. It was a bit difficult. He slipped twice before he managed to get up.
"It's okay." Qiu Guoqiang stroked Lake's head and said that he was doing well.
"Leopard Ball, come on." Li Youran also wanted Leopard Ball to try.
Leopard Ball let out a cry, bowed his body, jumped up, and climbed up the board.
What is unexpected is that the sixty-degree fish scale plate without changing the angle was actually climbed up by the leopard's ball-footed feet without any pause in the middle.
"Good shot, good shot!" Li Youran shouted happily, which shows that the leopard ball's four-paw grip and body coordination are quite good.
Qiu Guoqiang's mouth opened slightly, he didn't quite believe what he was seeing.
Leopard Ball repeated it again under Li Youran's order to prove that it was not an accident.
Qiu Guoqiang shook his head, and some idea in his mind seemed to be impacted.
"Awesome, you just said you were a novice, you were too modest." Qiu Guoqiang teased Li Youran.
"Brother Qiu, I'm really a novice, and Leopard Ball has never practiced this event." Li Youran answered honestly.
"Really? That's really a natural ability. If you keep up with this level, you might be able to make it into the top eight." Qiu Guoqiang's tone was filled with a hint of surprise.
"Haha. That would be great, but I heard that this year's opponents are very strong." Li Youran said with a smile while stroking Leopard Ball's head.
"That's true. The breeding and training of wolf dogs in Tianhai City has become very professional now, and there are more and more powerful ones. We should not take it lightly." Qiu Guoqiang nodded in agreement.
Next, the two of them conducted a variety of adaptive training with their dogs. Leopard Qiu showed excellent physical fitness, flexibility and coordination, which greatly changed Qiu Guoqiang's view of non-pure blood wolf dogs.
.
At noon, Qiu Guoqiang also invited Li Youran to have a casual meal at a small restaurant outside. Naturally, the latter was more respectful than obeying.
At the dinner table, Qiu Guoqiang told Li Youran some things to pay attention to during the game. Among them, the first item was the appearance evaluation. With Leopard Ball's pedigree, he would definitely suffer in scoring, so he should be mentally prepared in advance.
Li Youran said that he didn't care too much. He just wanted Leopard Ball to try to catch up with him in the following events. After all, the competition still depends on the total score.
During lunch, Li Youran received a call from Sun Xiaoying, complaining that the bun shop was noisy and messy, but as the boss, he ran outside to hide and relax.
"Well, my brother has something important to do. The Leopard Football Team is about to play a game. The city's wolf-dog competition is of great significance. You can come over and have a look after school. The Leopard Football Team still needs a cheerleader.
Yeah." Li Youran suggested with a smile.
"Wolf-dog competition? Huh, they're all so vicious, I'm not interested. I might as well watch TV." Sun Xiaoying thought for a moment and then decisively rejected the position of cheerleader.
Li Youran had no choice but to express deep regret for this, and explained that the construction time of Baozi Shop would not be too long, so just stick with it. In addition, if it was too noisy at night, he might as well go to Gu Weiwei's house to stay for a while.
After hanging up the phone, Li Youran explained it to Qiu Guoqiang. The latter expressed his understanding and said that there were not many girls who liked big wolf dogs. He suggested that he take her to watch a pet viewing dog competition. There will be one in this city next month.
The participating dogs all have fashionable hairstyles and beautiful clothes. They are all beautifully dressed and come in many varieties. Poodles, Pomeranians, butterfly dogs, and Chihuahuas are very popular with women of all ages.
