Why Are So Few People Raise the Chinese Dog 'Xiao Tian' ()? Here Are 5 Reasons!
The prototype of the Xiao Tian dog is derived from small dogs. Small dogs are a relatively ancient breed of dogs, known for their hunting skills and ability to chase rabbits.
1Scarcity in Number, Nearly Extinct
Chinese small dogs are a very ancient hunting dog breed, originally raised primarily as hunting dogs. Due to the decline in hunting demand, the number of raised dogs decreased sharply, resulting in many purebred small dogs failing to continue, with only a few thousand remaining, and now they are on the verge of extinction.
2Foreign Dog Breeds Are More Popular
Due to the impact of foreign dog culture, the development of small dogs in China has become even more difficult. After the excellent running horse dog (Ling Ti) from foreign countries was introduced to China, domestic good varieties of small dogs did not receive much attention.
3Easy Target for Dog Thieves
Because of the scarcity, the price of small dogs is also very high. Nowadays, dog theft has become a violent industry, so expensive Chinese small dogs are most likely to be targeted by dog thieves. As soon as they are transferred, they can sell for a lot of money. If you suddenly lose a dog you've raised for a long time, it's very distressing, so many people don't want to raise such expensive Chinese small dogs.
4Relatively Fierce Personality
Although Chinese small dogs are loyal to their owners and very gentle with their children, they have hostility towards strangers. After all, they are hunting dogs and don’t have the appearance or personality of ‘the three fools’, so one of the reasons why few people raise small dogs currently is probably because of their relatively fierce personality.
5Lack of Running Grounds in the City
Small dogs have a very fast running speed, up to 60 kilometers per hour, and need a lot of exercise every day. However, in densely populated cities, there is no enough space for them to exercise, and to avoid injuring people, many people choose to raise small dogs.
Dog raising small advice:
No matter what kind of dog you raise, you should be responsible for the dog. To keep the dog healthy, you should also pay attention to the dog's diet. If you give the dog too much salt, it is easy to cause rough and dull hair.
Therefore, the diet should be light, and when choosing dog food, it is best to choose high-quality, healthy natural dog food, which contains deep-sea fish oil to enhance immunity, promote development, and brighten hair, and also has sufficient calcium lactate to provide pets with meticulous and comprehensive care!
