If the Rottweiler was a strength-type hero, then the Doberman was an agility-type hero. The difference in appearance was obvious.
Other than a few areas such as the mouth, nose, chest, and limbs that were dark brown, the Doberman's entire body was like a smooth black brocade. It was most appropriate to describe it as "shiny and smooth."
Not only did Zhang Zian recognize the Doberman, but even Blackie, who didn't know much about dogs, exclaimed, "Isn't this the zombie dog from Resident Evil?"
For domestic dog fans, the first time they came into contact with a Doberman was often through the Resident Evil game or movie. Whether it was in the game or the movie, the Doberman infected by the zombie virus left a deep impression on players and movie fans. In addition, this dog's hearing and sense of smell had been enhanced by the T-virus. Once it was discovered by the zombie dog, it would be a relentless chase.
In the plot of the game and the movie, the Raccoon City police station introduced a group of Dobermans as police dogs, and they were unfortunately infected by the virus. Although Dobermans rarely appeared in domestic police stations and the military, they were a very popular breed abroad.
Zhang Zian gently touched Blackie and said, "Don't hesitate. If there's a chance, take one of them decisively."
Blackie was slightly stunned. "Don't you want to look at the others?"
"There is no need. For your solo wilderness survival, the Doberman is the most suitable guard dog. There is no other," Zhang Zian said firmly.
The audience in the live broadcast room was divided into two groups. The male audience exclaimed that the dog was so handsome, while the female audience generally felt that the dog was very fierce and scary.
Snowy belonged to the latter group. She felt that the dog was a particularly fierce dog and not easy to get close to. Comparing the two, she missed Uncle Jin's husky.
The husky gave people the feeling that it was okay to kick it. Although these Doberman puppies were still young, they gave people the feeling that if they were kicked, they might bite back.
Zhang Zian explained to Blackie, "The biggest characteristic of the Doberman is that it is extremely vigilant. It is sensitive and suspicious to the point of being neurotic. It will react at the slightest sign of trouble. This may cause trouble in the city, but it is an excellent talent that is hard to come by in the wild."
Blackie's own body type belonged to the lean type. When he saw the similarly lean type of Doberman, he also liked it. However, after seeing the sturdy Rottweiler, he felt that the Rottweiler was not bad.
"Better than the Rottweiler?" he asked.
Zhang Zian replied, "In addition to being much more vigilant than the Rottweiler, there is another difference between the two. The Rottweiler does not like to bark. After being provoked or offended, it will immediately pounce and bite the other party. In foreign countries, it is often used as a riot dog. As a guard dog, it is not as good as the Doberman, because before the Doberman pounces and bites, it will first bark twice to warn the other party … I think it is better to bark twice. What do you think?"
Blackie understood what he meant. Whether it was in the wilderness or in the city, it was not a good thing to directly bite.
"Also, Rottweilers have a small weakness. Due to the shape of their mouths, they like to drool. As long as their mouths are open, they may drool. Some people may be more concerned about this." "Of course, Dobermans are not without shortcomings. For example, Dobermans are born to bite. If Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and Samoyed are the three big demolishers, then a Doberman's destructive power can surpass all three of them!"
"That is not a problem. I often use the wilderness as my home. If it has the ability, then let it demolish it." Blackie smiled indifferently.
"If you can accept its shortcomings, then it is the most suitable companion for you. In foreign countries, Dobermans are known as the One Man Dog, which means that it only recognizes one owner. Even if a husband and wife raise it together, there will be a clear difference between them, and it will only treat one of them as its original owner. Once it recognizes you as its owner, it will display its nature as a guard dog. It will pester you all day long, and it almost wants to be inseparable from you. The difference between the so-called guard dog and ordinary dogs is that when someone invades your house, ordinary dogs may rush towards the criminal, while guard dogs will protect you by your side. Protecting you is their first priority, and they will not fight with the criminal, "Zhang Zian explained.
Blackie was fascinated by Zhang Zian's description of the relationship between the Doberman and its owner. Who did not want to have something that belonged only to them? There was no doubt about the loyalty of the Doberman.
"Okay!" Blackie nodded excitedly. "I'll listen to you. I'll buy a Doberman!"
However, there was another difference between these puppies and the Dobermans in Resident Evil. Their ears were still soft, and they were not as handsome as the ones in games and movies with their erect ears.
Their tails had been cut off from the second tailbone when they were born, and only a short section was left. But outsiders would not be able to tell, and Blackie was in need of a dog with a broken tail.
The owner of the puppies had brought them here to find a bald doctor to cut and bind their ears so that their ears would stand up handsomely. That way, they could sell them for a good price. After all, everyone recognized the Doberman with the cropped ears.
"May I ask how much is this Doberman?" Blackie walked over and tried to strike up a conversation with the woman.
She gave him an indifferent look and said with a thick local accent, "Sell! Of course! Dobermans are very expensive. Do you want to buy one? "
Blackie nodded. "I want to buy one."
"Then pick one yourself." The woman moved to the side and went to bargain with the bald doctor.
Blackie looked back at Zhang Zian with a pleading look, meaning that he wanted Zhang Zian to pick one for him. But Zhang Zian shook his head slightly and said, "Choosing a pet depends on affinity. You're the one buying the pet, not me, so it's better if you pick one yourself."
"But …" Blackie was still a little hesitant. He already knew that the water in the dog market was deep. Although he did not lack money, he did not want to spend a lot of time and effort only to find out that the dog he picked was not good enough.
"Don't worry, I'll help you check," Zhang Zian encouraged him.
"Okay …"
Blackie walked to the side of the cage. The Doberman puppies all stared at him.
How should he choose?
He was very worried.
At this time, he touched his trouser pocket and remembered that there was a bag of beef jerky in his pocket. Wilderness survival enthusiasts like him often carried chocolate bars or beef jerky with them just in case they needed it.
There was a bag of beef jerky in his trousers that he had forgotten to take out when he was washing his clothes. He took it out and looked at it. Because the packaging was very tightly sealed and was not damaged, the beef jerky should still be edible.
"Here, have some beef jerky for you."
He tore open the packaging and stuffed the beef jerky into the cage. He observed their reactions and wanted to choose the strongest one.
Blackie didn't know that behind him, Zhang Zian was watching his movements and quietly shaking his head.
