Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

"Can't see?"

When the group of people went upstairs, Xiang Yunduan and Tao Xiaoye supported Tao Xiaoye's grandfather on the left and right, but suddenly the thought of a guide dog flashed in his mind because of this scene.

In this era, the concept of guide dogs does not seem to exist in China, or no one has noticed it.

But the number of blind people may not be less than later. However, everyone has not even solved the real problem of food and clothing. Naturally, the level of care and attention given to the disabled is incomparable to that of later generations.

However, Xiang Yunduan feels that training guide dogs may become another important part of his future work.

In any case, there is a market demand for guide dogs.

Guide dogs, like police dogs, are very important working dog breeds. Compared with police dogs, guide dogs are more difficult to train. Even in later generations, the number of qualified guide dogs is still very rare. Compared with the large number of blind people who need the help of guide dogs, the number of guide dogs is so small that the proportion is almost negligible.

"I am currently breeding a new police dog breed. So, is it possible to consider breeding a guide dog breed that is suitable for the work of guide dogs?"

An idea came to Xiang Yunduan's mind.

In fact, strictly speaking, there is no special breed of police dog. Just like the famous German Shepherd, it was originally a shepherd dog. However, through subsequent selection and breeding work, it gradually achieved great success in the field of police dogs.

As for guide dogs, there is also no specialized guide dog breed. Most foreign guide dogs are Labrador, Golden Retriever, and German Shepherd. Among them, Labradors are the largest in number. One of them is A very important reason is that Labrador's character is more gentle.

Regarding the work content of guide dogs, their quality requirements for dog breeds are naturally different from those of police dogs. Not only are they different, but the difference is actually quite large.

Police dogs need to have relatively good attack capabilities, which this guide dog does not need. Police dogs need strong excitement and sensitivity, which this guide dog does not need. In addition, police dogs also need a strong sense of smell. This guide dog There is no requirement. Guide dogs obviously need vision more than smell.

Of course, for guide dogs, there is actually only one biggest need, and that is emotional stability.

The working environment of guide dogs is actually more complicated than that of police dogs. After all, police dogs are often commanded by people. They only need to complete tasks according to human requirements. But guide dogs are different. To some extent, It is said that guide dogs are commanding people, so many times, guide dogs need to make their own judgment on what to do next!

Therefore, a dog with an overly sensitive personality will definitely not be able to serve as a guide dog, and a dog with a high level of excitement will naturally not be qualified for this job.

Of course, the spirituality or IQ of a guide dog must be higher. If the IQ is too low, many problems faced during actual operation will not be solved.

Of course, high spirituality is an essential quality for all working dogs.

"Based on the pastoral dog, breed a dog specifically for the work of guiding the blind?" The more Xiang Yunduan thought about it, the more feasible the idea became.

After all, he is a man with golden fingers. It is not difficult to cultivate suitable dog breeds according to work needs.

Although even in later generations, there will be no specialized breed of guide dogs, this does not mean that he cannot have this idea. In fact, the more there is no such thing, the more he should do it. After all, the market demand is very huge.

In terms of the character of the pastoral dog, it is actually very suitable for the work requirements of a guide dog. Of course, some targeted breeding work must be carried out, but this does not trouble Xiang Yunduan.

To breed a police dog breed, he needs to introduce the blood of wild wolves, but to breed a guide dog breed, it will definitely not work. After all, the wild genes in wolf blood are really unstable, especially for dogs that want to be fully integrated into human society. For guide dogs, uncontrollable factors are too scary.

Not to mention the introduction of wolf blood, even for pastoral dogs, dogs with docile personalities must be selected. The kind of hounds used for hunting will definitely not work. It is best to be a guard dog.

"What are you thinking about?"

Just when Xiang Yunduan was lost in thought, Tao Xiaoye suddenly pushed him, interrupting his thoughts. It turned out that everyone had already arrived at the door of the box.

"It's nothing, just a little nervous!"

Xiang Yunduan said casually.

This is not the time to talk about guide dogs. Moreover, this is just an idea for now. There is no need to say more. He will give it a try after he goes back. He will first train a guide dog and give it to Tao Xiao. Yes, grandpa, this is a little surprise.

"Uncle, aunt, father, mother, let me introduce you!"

Xiang Yunduan opened the door, let all Tao family members into the box, and then quickly started to introduce them.

"Hahaha, my father-in-law and my mother-in-law, please forgive me for being late! Logically speaking, we live close by and you live far away, so we should arrive first, but we really shouldn't!"

After Xiang Yunduan's introduction, Tao Xingwei laughed and was the first to speak.

"It's not too late, it's not too late. We have just arrived. Today is the day when our two children get engaged. From now on, we will be a family. As the saying goes, one family does not talk about two families. Why are you so polite? No one is late and no one is early. Important!" Xiang Chuanzong also said with a smile.

Xiang Yunduan glanced at his father, and it could be seen that he was still a little nervous, but his performance at the moment was already very good.

"Sit! Sit down quickly!"

After the opening remarks, the two parties invited each other to sit down, and then each greeted the elders on both sides.

"Chicken with onion and soy sauce, roasted ginseng with Beijing onion, soft fried shrimp balls, kung pao chicken, three shredded fish maw soup with scallops, jellyfish in fish sauce, fish head soaked cake, roasted large yellow croaker with dried bean paste..."

Xiang Yunduan began to order.

Although the Qianmen Restaurant has only been open for a few years, I think the skills of the chefs inside are top-notch. The main dishes are very rich in variety and taste. I heard that there are masters of Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine and Shandong cuisine, so the dishes are It also has the strengths of the three families.

It was Xiang Yunduan's first time to come to such a top-notch place, so he was naturally not polite. He was already prepared to bleed when he decided to eat here today.

Fortunately, with his current salary of more than 80 yuan a month, he can still afford to eat here. He doesn't come here to eat every day. There are a lot of people today, so he can order more special dishes and taste them. If he thinks they are delicious, You can also talk to Shazhu when you go back and see if you can copy it.

Tao Xingwei has been observing Xiang Yunduan. He only met the son-in-law chosen by his daughter a few days ago. He doesn't know exactly what this son-in-law is like.

However, Mei Zhihua kept mumbling in his ears, almost praising Xiang Yunduan to the heavens. Looking at Xiang Yunduan ordering the dishes, it was okay, at least he didn't have any petty arrogance.

Tao Xingwei didn't think Xiang Yunduan had been to a place like Qianmen Hotel before, but for the first time facing such a high-end place, Xiang Yunduan acted very calmly, or rather relaxed. Anyway, he didn't feel any nervousness at all. .
