Snowy's Persian cat had never taken a bath since it was born, left the breeding farm, bought by Snowy, and brought to the beach to play. Although Zhang Zian had wiped its face and combed its fur, it couldn't be compared to taking a bath.
After the bath, its fur was as fluffy and soft as white cotton. It looked like a noble cat, attracting everyone's attention.
Lea said enviously, "It's so beautiful. I want to raise a Persian cat too."
Zhang Zian was also very satisfied, but he said seriously, "Persian cats are very delicate, and their long hair is difficult to take care of. You need enough time to comb their hair every day, and it's best to go to the pet beauty salon regularly. The cost is also higher than other types of cats, so you need to think about your time and wallet before you buy one."
Lea quickly waved her hand, "I'm just saying. I don't have perseverance. If I had perseverance, I would've lost weight a long time ago. I'll choose a cat that's easier to take care of. "
Zhang Zian said, "Short-haired cats are relatively easier to take care of."
"Hey, what kind of cat do you guys think that woman is raising?" Black Jack suddenly said.
Xiao Yan had already left in the Mercedes, but she left a lot of people curious. More than one person was guessing this question, but only Black Jack asked it directly.
Xiao Niu scratched his head, "It must be a very expensive cat that can drive a Mercedes S500. Boss, what kind of cats are more expensive? "The second half of the sentence was directed to Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian didn't think that driving a Mercedes S500 was necessarily related to what kind of cat you raised, but he still answered, "Among the common pet cats, Persians, Ragdoll, Scottish Fold, Turkish Van cats are all more expensive."
Gu Tianle raised an objection, "I think it should be a very fierce cat, like a lynx or a Caracal …"
The others all complained that this was already a beast, not a pet. How could anyone in the city raise one?
Gu Tianle insisted on his opinion. He heard from a friend that his friend's friend was a rich man who raised a cross between a Caracal and a house cat. It was very fierce, and it fed live chickens every day …
This kind of "friend of a friend" was basically a rumor with no credibility. Everyone laughed it off.
Xiaoniu bent over and looked at the display cabinets several times, but he still couldn't decide what kind of dog to buy, so he asked, "Store manager, I want to buy a dog for my parents. Do you have any recommendations?"
Lea reminded him in confusion, "Hey hey, are you stupid? The cats here can do stunts. Why would you buy a dog? "
Xiaoniu also felt that it was a pity. He explained, "I just want my parents to go out more and not stay at home all the time. Isn't it more suitable to buy a dog this way? I don't see many people walking their cats. "
Zhang Zian agreed and suggested, "In this case, it is indeed better to buy a dog. Which floor is your house on?"
The calf said, "First floor. Previously, I considered that my legs might not be as nimble after retirement, and I was worried that I might encounter an emergency, so I bought the first floor when I moved a few years ago. "
Zhang Zian said, "In that case, a small or medium-sized dog is fine. The upper limit of the size is a border collie. Any bigger is not suitable. If there is a scare outside, the elderly can't hold it back, and it will easily bring danger to themselves and others."
Xiaoniu hesitated for a moment, "Actually, when my parents saw the dogs of other people in the community, they said a few words. They don't like dogs that are too small like Chihuahuas, saying that they are like mice, and they don't like Shar Pei, saying that they have wrinkles on their faces and are older than them. The same goes for schnauzers …"
Zhang Zian was speechless. These were the most common small and medium-sized dogs. How many were left …
People always liked to pursue things that they couldn't get. The older they were, the more they liked pets that looked young and energetic, just like how they spoiled their grandchildren. However, there were many young people who liked schnauzers and Shar Pei.
"I understand what you mean," he said after thinking for a moment. "Your parents like dogs that look like dogs. They don't like unconventional ones, and they don't like those that are too small, right?"
"Maybe." Xiaoniu nodded.
"Then you can consider a Corgi." Zhang Zian led him to the Corgi display cabinet.
A young Corgi was lying quietly in the cabinet. It wasn't as excited as the Samoyed and Chihuahua next door, especially the Chihuahua, which was barking non-stop when it saw guests approaching. Little Corgi waited for the two of them to come in front of it before standing up and walking steadily closer. From time to time, it lowered its head and sniffed, then barked twice.
There were two most notable characteristics of Corgi. One was that it was a dwarf horse, and the other was that it had flapping ears — the two ears were almost equilateral triangles with the mouth and nose. If a person had flapping ears, it would be very ugly, but a cat's flapping ears would only increase its cuteness.
"Corgis are very recognizable. They won't be confused with ordinary dogs, and they aren't particularly unconventional either. Corgis have a very good personality. After all, it is the favorite dog of the British royal family. Elizabeth II raised a Corgi for more than 80 years. She even brought a Corgi to the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. If it had a bad personality, it would have been thrown out of the country. " Intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Zian emphasized the aristocratic nature of Corgis because many elderly people liked it and felt very proud to bring it out. It was the same breed as the Queen of England.
"Children will also like Corgis very much because it is short, not as oppressive as adult dogs, and looks more approachable." After Zhang Zian finished talking about the advantages, he went on to talk about the disadvantages. "The Achilles' heel of Corgi is that it is too long, and it is not convenient for it to go up and down the stairs. But if you live on the first floor, it will be fine. In addition, Corgis like to bark … "
As if in response to his words, the Corgi barked again. Although it was small, its voice was quite loud.
Zhang Zian smiled and said, "After training, you can also improve the Corgi's habit of barking. Isn't training one of the joys of buying a dog? What's the difference between a dog without training and a salted fish? In addition, its hair is very thick and it will shed, but not all year round. It is less than the three silly sled dogs — Husky, Alaskan Malamute, and Samoyed. Also, it needs a lot of exercise. It needs to be walked every day, the longer the better. If you can tolerate these disadvantages, a Corgi is a good choice. "
Xiao Niu thought about it. These disadvantages were not intolerable. After all, there was no perfect dog. It was already very good that the store manager could say these frankly. As for the shedding, he could buy a robot sweeping the floor to solve it. As for the barking, many neighbors had dogs, and everyone was used to hearing dogs barking. Besides, he would be independent from home in the future. A dog that could bark would always bring him more sense of security than a dog that could not bark. A lot of exercise was not a disadvantage. He bought a dog to let his parents go outdoors more often.
Compared to the disadvantages, the advantages were more attractive to him. People at the age of his parents were also vain and liked to compare. Before they retired, they compared their jobs, salaries, and connections. Now, they compared their children and pets. Because of this, Xiao Niu did not consider buying a random dog. He was worried that his parents would be ridiculed by the neighbors if they took a dog out. A dog that was the same breed as the Queen of England was very prestigious.
"Okay! I'll take it! "Xiao Niu stopped thinking and made up his mind.
Just when he and Zhang Zian went to the cashier to pay, Xiao Yan came back.
