Gao Zhaowei and his wife in Pingyi, Shandong Province want to raise live Tibetan mastiffs.

"I just like dogs. I've never left a dog at home. Keeping a dog is just to play and protect my family. At that time, it was the first time I heard of the name Tibetan mastiff, not to mention raising Tibetan mastiff to make money. Now, you see, raising Tibetan mastiff has become the main business for our family to get rich. " Gao Zhaowei, 40, and his wife Sun Fumei rushed to Dongle Li Village, Zhongcun Town, Pingyi County, Shandong Province, where they live at the foot of Yimeng Mountain.

Tibetan mastiff is a world-famous large fierce dog, originated in China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, has the reputation of "Oriental God Dog". Speaking of Gao Zhaowei and his wife raising Tibetan mastiffs, it was the spring of 2007. When Xizang's relatives came home to visit them, he brought them four small Tibetan mastiffs. Due to the lack of breeding experience, coupled with the fact that the young mastiffs did not adapt to the local climate environment, the breeding was not smooth. A young mastiff died in no 10 days, but this did not shake his determination to raise the Tibetan mastiff. Call relatives, bought more than 10 books on Tibetan mastiff breeding to learn, but also specially hired technicians from Beijing with high salary, coupled with the careful feeding of husband and wife, three young mastiffs have basically become adult Tibetan mastiffs. That winter, two Tibetan mastiffs over one year old bred 13 little Tibetan mastiffs. Looking at the lively and lovely young Tibetan mastiff, Gao Zhaowei and his wife smiled. In April 2008, 10 5-month-old Tibetan mastiffs were bought by a big boss in Linyi at the price of 3000 yuan each. With technology and benefits, Gao Zhaowei and his wife began to expand the scale of breeding, invested more than 100,000 yuan, and built a Tibetan mastiff breeding base covering an area of more than 500 square meters.

"they are the most human. They are powerful and tall, but they are very loyal to their masters." Two years of experience of raising a Tibetan mastiff, Gao Zhaowei and his wife have formed an inextricable bond with the Tibetan mastiff, talking about their relationship with the Tibetan mastiff. Gao Zhaowei told a short story in high spirits: "that was in August 2007, when I bought more than 300 jin of duck from the county town on my motorcycle. As soon as I entered the door accidentally, the car tilted and pressed my left leg. A Tibetan mastiff broke the chain and ran out desperately, tore the car with its mouth, and pushed the car away to save me. Some time ago, I didn't buy this Tibetan mastiff for 120000 yuan. I will never sell this Tibetan mastiff." When Gao Zhaowei and his wife began to set foot in the dog industry two years ago, they did not even know what kind of dog the Tibetan mastiff was, but now the Tibetan mastiff breeding center he built has become well-known in the local special breeding industry. The Tibetan mastiff has also become the "golden key" for him to open the door to entrepreneurial success.

According to Gao Zhaowei's wife Sun Fumei, "raising a Tibetan mastiff brings us considerable economic benefits. A small Tibetan mastiff can generally sell for 3000 yuan, and a good one can buy 5000 yuan. Despite the fierce Tibetan mastiff, it is notoriously loyal to its owner and willing to do whatever it wants. It is not difficult to raise it. As long as it is fed once a day, it costs only 6 yuan a day on average." Tibetan mastiff really mature to two years later, the general Tibetan mastiff will reproduce in one year; Tibetan mastiff is divided into lion head and tiger head, the figure is relatively tall. The purebred Tibetan mastiff has a large head, a high and convex forehead, large ears, thick and close to both sides of the cheeks, triangular and strong eyes, and black and yellow eyes. Talking about the standard of purebred Tibetan mastiff, Gao Zhaowei and his wife are sensible. We can see that there are 5 breeds of Tibetan mastiff in the breeding base, including 12 adult Tibetan mastiffs and 30 small Tibetan mastiffs. At present, the Tibetan mastiff breeding of Gao Zhaowei and his wife has attracted many dog lovers from Jiangsu, Hebei, Henan and the province to visit and buy, and the business is very prosperous, with an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan.
