Tibetan mastiff, also known as Tibetan Dog, Fan Dog and Qiang Dog, is a tall, ferocious, drooping, short-haired domestic dog originally born in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China. So how much is a Tibetan mastiff? How to choose? How to feed it? Let's move on.

How much is a Tibetan mastiff?

The price of puppies is between 5000 and 15000 yuan, the price of purebred Tibetan mastiff puppies is between 15000 and 20000 yuan, and the price of competition-grade Tibetan mastiff puppies is more than 20000 yuan. Tibetan mastiffs whose prices are too low are usually not recommended. At present, the price of Tibetan mastiff does not have a standard market price, that is to say, how much it is worth, no one can tell. In our local market, a puppy can be sold for 23,000, 45,000, 1230,000, and then do business with foreign businessmen. Some are willing to pay 70,000 or 300,000, and it is said that if they trade Tibetan mastiffs in the mainland, they will reach several million. In terms of lineage, if the parents of a Tibetan mastiff are qualified for competition, the price of their puppies will increase by about 500 yuan compared with the same period last year; gender is also a factor leading to the price difference of dogs. For example, the price of a female Tibetan mastiff in Beijing is about 300 yuan higher than that of a male Tibetan mastiff; the age of a dog will also affect the price of a dog, and the price of a puppy will be 500 yuan cheaper than that of an adult dog in 2-3 months. Hair and bone mass are also factors that affect the price of dogs, especially when breeding dogs, their hair and bone mass are very important reference indicators for pet dog quality. dogs with good hair mass and large bone mass are often about 500 yuan more expensive than dogs with average hair and bone mass.

Second, how to choose?

First, we must carefully observe when we buy Tibetan mastiff, do not act in haste, pay attention to: the coat should be shiny, the nose color should be black and moist, the color of gums and tongue should be ruddy, whitening should be avoided. Whether the bite of the upper and lower teeth is correct. Ears and eyes are very important and should be carefully examined for problems. The movement of both ears is flexible, the ear canal should be clean, there is no peculiar smell, and pink on the inside of the ear is healthy. Keep your eyes bright and bright. The skin should be soft and elastic, not induration or hypertrophy. Pay attention to whether the skin has parasites such as lice, scabies or other skin diseases. Dogs with dermatosis or parasites will be unable to bear it in a short period of time, scratching the diseased area with their claws, and more than once, many times in a row. You need to see clearly where it scratches, whether there is erythema or not, and then careful examination will find out if there is something wrong with the skin.

Second, should pay special attention to the lower tail of the Tibetan mastiff, if there is a "yellow mark" is a recent sign of diarrhea or dysentery, should not be purchased. Also see if the anus is red, swollen or ulcerated. Check the foot pad of the Tibetan mastiff. Soft, non-cracked is a healthy dog. Observe whether Tibetan mastiffs like to get along with people, do not choose neurotic, timid, emotionally unstable dogs. Attention should be paid to the bones of the Tibetan mastiff, such as deformation of the skull, bending of the vertebrae, cracks in the jaws, dislocation of the hip and knee joints, and so on. Let the Tibetan mastiff exercise to see whether it is graceful in walking and running or limping. When the young mastiff is focused, throw paper balls or toys a little far in front of him and guide him to run or swoop forward to see whether his reaction is agile and whether his movement is flexible, so as to judge whether there is something wrong with the bones of his limbs. Tibetan mastiffs with bone problems are caused by inbreeding and heredity and are not suitable for captivity.

Third, after selecting a good dog, if there is no vaccination, wait for the dog to recuperate before going. Pay attention to the genetic disease of the Tibetan mastiff. When you buy a puppy, you must observe whether the puppy's genes have infectious diseases, otherwise, the puppy mastiff bought at a high price will do great harm to the family. Missing teeth take Dalmatians as an example, many Dalmatians lack teeth, which is the result of inbreeding. Some young mastiffs have a very unstable temper and mood, and if their previous generation of dogs have bit people, then the next generation of dogs are also prone to this phenomenon. Eyelash "inverted" eyelash retrogression will stab the young mastiff's eyes, which will be more serious after one year old. Generally speaking, there are more Shapi dogs and pine lion dogs.

Third, how to feed?

First, if you want to feed Tibetan mastiff snacks, it is best to feed it during training. At other times, feeding Tibetan mastiff snacks can easily make dogs develop picky food habits, do not eat well, and then affect the health of Tibetan mastiffs. If you want to change food for Tibetan mastiff, step by step, do not suddenly change food, otherwise dogs are prone to vomiting and diarrhea.

Second, Tibetan mastiffs should develop good eating habits from an early age in order to grow up healthily. Tibetan mastiff eats 3-5 meals a day from weaning to 5-month-old dogs, 3 meals a day from 5-month-old dogs to minors, and 1-2 meals a day after adulthood. Dogs' good habits are formed during this period.

Third, feed the Tibetan mastiff regularly and quantitatively, always feed your dog in the same place, and after the family has finished eating, so that the dog can learn the grade difference. The weight meter on the food bag gives the best feeding amount, but it should be adjusted according to your dog's age to ensure that the weight will not gain quickly. Early obesity can cause the baby's bones to become deformed in childhood and lead to obesity in the end.

Fourth, we should regularly feed the Tibetan mastiff, the health of the Tibetan mastiff is of special significance to us, but also to give the dog to develop good living habits, so as to ensure that the dog does not overeat when eating. Also let the dog understand the daily feeding times, do not change at will, so that the Tibetan mastiff will be at a loss, the significance of raising a good Tibetan mastiff lies in this.
