Dog Farm

Dog farms commonly call themselves:

① Breeding base

② There is often "International" in the name

③ There is often "dog industry" in the name

④ Doghouse

⑤ Kennel (self-proclaimed "kennel", it looks high-end, but it is essentially a dog farm)

Features of dog farm judgment:

① There are many dog ​​breeds, and customers can get whatever breed they want

② The number of dogs is large, hundreds of them are the size of a puppy farm, and the number can reach thousands

③ The price of dogs is low, generally several hundred per dog

The dog farm mainly sells wholesale. There are 200 to 300 golden retrievers and other breeds, and 670 and 700 French Bulldogs. They wholesale one car at a time, with small profits but quick turnover.

Of course, they also have retail channels:

Channel 1: Store-style retailing, opening a store like a pet store and selling puppies from the breeding base in the store

Channel 2: Agent-based retailing. There are many people selling dogs online, especially on WeChat. In fact, they don’t have dogs on hand. If you sell a dog, the farm will send you one, and the agent will make the difference

Channel three: direct retail (direct sales), some parents will go directly to the dog farm to buy puppies

Advantages of buying puppies from dog farms:

① The price is cheap, a few hundred per puppy, which is really cheap, especially the ones sold directly by dog ​​farms

② There are many varieties, you can get whatever you want, it is convenient to choose a dog

③ In the direct sales model, if you buy a Zhou dog back, some dog farms are willing to "exchange it" or "exchange it with extra money"

④ Puppies are not picky eaters and will eat whatever is given to them.

Disadvantages of buying a puppy from a dog farm:

① Probability of encountering a "weekly dog"High, it means that the disease will occur within a week after buying it, such as canine parvovirus and canine distemper;

② The mother was poorly fed when she was born, and the puppy’s basic physical condition is not good. One day it will catch a cold, the next day it will be diarrhea, and the day after tomorrow skin diseases will take turns. There are already many of these in our dog friends group;

③ There is no pedigree tracing. Dog farms do not pay attention to "real purebreds" and are more interested in "improving" breeds to conform to market trends. Therefore, those who look like a certain breed may have bloodlines from other dog breeds in previous generations. (For example, Golden Retriever Tibetan Mastiff);

④ Hidden risks of genetic diseases. Because we raise too many dog ​​breeds, we are not proficient in any dog ​​breed, and we do not know the risks of genetic diseases of specific dog breeds. We even conduct super-inbreeding in order to improve "good breed dogs", which is extremely harmful. It increases the probability of genetic diseases, which cannot be found in puppies;

⑤ The dog farm is the birthplace of "week dog"

② Have you had experience in getting along and communicating with humans since childhood

Kennels

The difference between kennels and dog farms:

① Can make vaccines

② They are all pedigree dogs with certificates. Those without pedigree still call themselves “kennels”, please refer to the dog farm article

③ There are few varieties, generally a single variety, two or three at most

④ smallDogs are worth a lot, ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands

Kennel level classification:

High-end kennels: tens of thousands of puppies, most of the breeders are imported bloodlines from abroad, and many champions

Mid-range kennels: puppies ranging from 5,000 to 10,000, and breeders with excellent bloodlines and champions

Low-end kennels: take the "grandchildren" and "great-grandchildren" route, with bloodlines far away from foreign countries (i.e., multiple generations of domestic descendants), priced at 2,000 to 4,000

Fake kennels: Selling "single-blooded" puppies for more than 1,000 without certificates. You need a certificate and add another 1,000 yuan (you can get it with money). This is a fake kennel. Please refer to the previous "dog "Field Chapter"

Sales model:

Generally direct sales, some have customer service, and some also recruit "agents" for consignment sales.

Advantages of buying a kennel puppy:

① The probability of encountering a "weekly dog" is low, even if you encounter an ordinary kennel, you will be responsible (of course, there are also kennels that turn their backs, but they are a minority)

③ Generally, vaccines are given, and they are imported vaccines

④ The purebred rate is relatively high, especially in mid- to high-end kennels

⑤ The puppy will go to a new home in two or three months and will be easy to feed.

① Higher price

② Most of the transactions are in different places, and the business rules are "give money first, then give the dog", so newcomers will be afraid of being cheated

Dog Market

There are not many dog ​​markets now, but there used to be many. Dogs in the dog market are mainly wholesaled from dog farms, so you can refer to the "Dog Farms" for all aspects.

Advantages of buying a puppy from Dog Market:

② There are many choices, and there are many puppies of various breeds

③ The price is cheaper, much cheaper than pet stores

④ Easy to find, you can buy it on the same day if you want to buy it any time

Disadvantages of buying a puppy in the dog market:

① The probability of encountering a "weekly dog" is high. Viruses such as parvovirus that can be transmitted through the air can really make one dog sick and affect the whole house. All dogs are in danger. Even puppies that are not sick when they are in the dog farm will increase the risk of infection if they are transferred to the dog market

② Because it mainly comes from dog farms, the disadvantages of dog farms are basically all in the dog market, just go to "Dog Farms"

Pet Shop

Pet shops need to be classified

Regular level:

① Insulate against parvovirus for at least one week and sign an agreement

② The probability of being a dog during the week is relatively low

③ The dog’s living environment is relatively spacious and hygienic

④ If you encounter problems raising a dog, you will be given guidance

Black store level:

① Covers 1-3 days of parvovirus, and even signed an agreement that "as long as you take the dog out of the store, you will not be responsible for any subsequent illnesses" (don't laugh) , it’s true, our dog friend group has met many times)

② The probability of being a dog is extremely high

③ The living environment of dogs is difficult to describe

④ It’s fine if I haven’t blocked you. As long as you go out, I won’t be held responsible

There are three main channels for the source of puppies in pet stores:

① Dog farm wholesale, the advantages and disadvantages are also referred to "Dog Farm"

② Domestic puppies adopted from the litter

③ Puppies born from breeding dogs in your own store

Advantages of buying a puppy from a pet store:

①Buy in person, pay the money in one hand and hold the dog in the other without fear of being cheated

② There are many choices, and there are many puppies of various breeds

③ Easy to find, you can buy it on the same day if you want to buy it any time

Disadvantages of buying a puppy from a pet store:

① If you enter an illegal store, the probability of getting a puppy is no less than that of a dog farmIn the dog market, even if one puppy is sick, another puppy will still be sick. Please refer to the transmission routes of canine distemper

② Prices are generally higher, and pet stores have to make a profit

③ Mainly ordinary dogs, it is not very reliable to buy pedigrees in pet stores

To give a real example, it is also in the group. Last year or the year before last, a group friend bought a "double-blood golden retriever" in a pet store. I remember it cost six or seven thousand. I asked who the dog's parents were. I didn't know. The puppy's pedigree information. I don't know. The birth certificate chip. These certificates, I pressed the pet store to give the certificate until the puppy grew up, but still didn't get it... Most likely, I was deceived by the pet store's ordinary golden retriever, which had better supplies, instead of the double bloodline.

The pet store said that the vaccine was completed, and the owner took it out and ran away. Not long after, I was infected with canine distemper and was not rescued. When I was in the hospital, the doctor tested the puppy’s antibody index and found that it was completely absent, that is, it had not received a single shot of vaccine)

Backyard Breeding

Commonly used self-titles for backyard breeding:

① Domestic breeding

② Home-raised

③ Born at home

The difference between backyard breeding and real domestic breeding:

For details, please see "How to distinguish real and fake domestic puppies"

Backyard breeding can be regarded as a "mini dog farm", so many of the advantages and disadvantages of dog farm puppies can be applied. Domestic puppies are always criticized by professionals, and these backyard breedings pretending to be domestic are definitely responsible.

In addition, backyard breeding is passed off as domestic breeding, and the main sales channels are websites such as 58/Ganji.

Advantages of buying backyard breeding puppies:

① The price is relatively cheap, ranging from a few hundred to more than a thousand, cheaper than pet stores

② There are many varieties, although not as many as dog farms

③ Usually face-to-face transactions, if there is a problem with the puppy, you can still find the seller

Disadvantages of buying backyard-bred puppies:

① The probability of encountering a "weekly dog" is medium. After all, the number of dogs is less than that of a dog farm. Some owners take them home and grow up healthy, and some are infected with parvovirus. Example of plague;

② The mother is born viviparously, the puppies do not eat well, and their basic physical constitution is relatively weak;

③ There is no pedigree tracing, and a male and a female who look similar can be sold as soon as they are born. For example, a golden retriever is paired with a Labrador. The long-haired one is sold as a golden retriever, and the short-haired and black-haired one is sold as a Labrador retriever;< /p>

④ The risk of genetic diseases is relatively high. In the past, I have seen people in a certain dog friend group "adopting dogs". As long as they are female, it will be fine if they have bad legs or anything, as long as they can give birth; and because the number of breeding dogs is limited, Super inbreeding occurs.

Risk index evaluation:

Purebred Index: ★★★

Information matching index: ★★★★★ (In face-to-face transactions, whatever you see is what you see)

Probability of encountering a Zhou Dog: ★★★

Possibility of vaccination: ★★ (generally sold within 20 to 30 days, but if it is not vaccinated, it is not vaccinated, and it is rare that it is not vaccinated)

Risk of encountering genetically diseased dogs: ★★★☆

Risk of encountering silly dogs: ★★ (If the number of dogs is small in backyard breeding, there will be more communication between the dog and the owner than in the previous situations, which will help improve the intellectual development of the puppies)

Domesticated articles

This refers to the true "domesticated" situation, where the dog's parents live with the owner, serve as a family companion dog on a daily basis, and occasionally give birth to a baby.

Advantages for buyers to raise puppies:

④ The puppy’s living environment and diet are better, and its basic physical fitness is good

⑤ With frequent contact with the owner since birth, the puppy has a higher probability of stable personality, higher IQ and communication skills

Disadvantages for buyers of raising puppies:

① Owners lack knowledge about dog breeds to prevent genetic diseases, and often allow puppies to be born even when the dog’s parents already have genetic diseases p>

(A real example, a group friend told me that his friend’s puppy developed hip joint problems within a few months. He bought the puppy from a family that raised the puppy. Later, the owner went to see the dog’s parents and found that the dog’s father also had hip joint problems. question)

② The owner lacks awareness of the incompatibility of super close relatives

(Real example, online, there is a dog mother and a dog son, and they gave birth again...)

③ MasterThere is a lack of awareness of the "purity" of dog breeds, and they think that as long as one breed is produced, one male and one female can produce children, and the less breeding fees the better.
