A few years ago, Kang Zhituo met a purebred golden retriever on the streets of Beijing. Its symmetrical posture and gentle personality immediately attracted dog lovers. He had never seen such a beautiful pure golden retriever in Quanzhou, so he began to browse websites and forums crazily to learn about all kinds of information about investigating golden retriever. All the pure golden retrievers are imported, and many materials are in English, so he uses translation software to check them. Knowing that there were breeding bases in Zhejiang and Tianjin, he went to inspect them at his own expense.
It is also an accidental opportunity to really decide to raise a golden retriever. At the beginning of 20 14, Kang Zhituo visited a breeding base in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, and happened to meet the owner's intention of overall transfer, so he decided to go on. When time is urgent, I will call my father Kang Jianmin directly and let him find the venue within two days. Kang Jianmin was surprised by his son's decision and didn't have time to blame him for "acting first". Even though he was worried about his success, he tried his best to support his son's willful decision. At the foot of the mountain next to the village, I found a mountain that does not disturb the people, and the environment and ecology are very suitable. I invested my savings to build a kennel. Soon, Kang Zhituo took more than 20 pure golden retrievers, took root in the mountains, and started a "dog".
The news that Kang Zhituo quit his job and went back to the village to raise a dog suddenly exploded in the village, and even was regarded as a joke by the villagers. What they don't know is that Zhituo is not only serious this time, but also has done sufficient preliminary research and psychological preparation.
"Golden retriever's IQ ranks fourth among dogs. Its biggest feature is docile and intelligent, and it is often trained as a guide dog. Many people like to treat golden retrievers as pet dogs. Judging from the data of foreign countries, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, the development prospect of the domestic pet market is very broad. " Kang Zhituo said that he is also ready to meet various challenges: First, the investment is relatively large. It costs more than 100,000 yuan to import a purebred golden retriever from abroad, and even millions of yuan to build a star dog ranked in China. Second, the epidemic prevention requirements are high. Third, blood type matching is very experienced.
The male god "baker"
Kangzhituo's domestication base is very small, and the 1 1 slot in the kennel is clean and tidy. A wall divides it into living area and activity area, and the golden retriever can enter and exit freely through the door hole in the wall. "The domestication and epidemic prevention conditions of Golden Retriever dogs are very harsh, and the kennel should be disinfected every morning and evening." Kangzhituo also specially invited pet doctors from Quanzhou and Yongchun to ensure hygiene and health.
After more than two years of domestication, Kang Zhituo has changed from a big boy to an all-round "dog dad" who has no problem raising children. When he gave birth to a puppy, he and his parents waited day and night in turn for more than ten days. The puppy takes a bath after the full moon and is weaned for 36 days ... In addition to eating and drinking Lazar, he devoted himself wholeheartedly: a bitch gave birth to a child and suddenly died of rupture of the uterine membrane, and he cried miserably; He remembers every dog's birthday, and every dog has a foreign name.
Among the golden retrievers domesticated by Zhituo, his favorite is "Baker", which is the first purebred golden retriever introduced from China and won the American landing championship. 1 1 year-old, Baker has given birth to more than 30 "descendants", and their "children" are all excellent, and the "family" honor is equal: among the five "daughters", Anne won the world landing champion; Anya and Anli are both landing champions in China; Beautiful Anna is also a "seed player" and gave birth to seven children; Anya's "daughter", Daisy, who is just 7 months old, just won the puppy championship in the China All-breed Championship last month; "Son" Zorro inherited excellent genes and has been designated as "successor".
Kangzhituo's pet dog can win prizes frequently in various dog "beauty contests", which is inseparable from the emphasis on bloodline collocation. "Golden retrievers have many exquisite pedigree breeds, with well-proportioned bodies and sweet and lovely faces." Kangzhituo's domestic golden hair is positioned at the high end, but it is very popular in the market. Since the beginning of this year, more than 60 puppies and 20 adult dogs have been sold, with prices ranging from 4,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan.
In addition to continuing to train more golden retrievers, Kangzhituo has more plans: First, expand the scale and move the base to a place with more convenient transportation at the foot of the mountain. The long-term plan is to develop into a leisure pet ecological park integrating the functions of golden retriever domestication, animal science education, leisure tourism and so on, and to undertake more tourists and activities. The second is to promote the independent brand of organic dog food. We have completed the preliminary research and development and registered the "Shangpin" trademark, and are currently doing internal testing in the industry. The next step is to form a team to promote the market. Third, I hope to cooperate with relevant departments to develop the domestication and research of guide dogs and search and rescue dogs.
"The pet market has broad prospects and there is still a lot of room for development." Although faced with many difficulties such as funds and venues, Kangzhituo is still full of momentum.
