On January 27, when the reporter met Heilati Haldebek, he first asked the reporter to look at a small purple-red book. There was a national emblem on the cover of the small book, and printed under the national emblem: Farmer The "Legal Transaction License" (copy) of the Professional Cooperative has several golden characters, which proves that the "Hainer Kazakh Shepherd Dog Farmers Breeding Professional Cooperative" he previously applied for has been accepted by the industrial and commercial authorities. This is the first Kazakh shepherd dog farmer breeding cooperative in Fuhai County.
This year 30 Hayilati, a 20-year-old Kazakh youth, grew up in a pastoral area and spent time with shepherd dogs. He has a deep affection for Kazakh shepherd dogs. In order to create this breeding cooperative, he has worked hard for a long time. He was satisfied for the time being, which made him very happy.
The Kazakh Shepherd Dog is one of the ancient primitive herding dogs in our country and is in line with the environment. It has a very strong ability to harmonize with the weather. It has a calm and courageous character, is very alert to strangers, and has a genius sense of protecting livestock. The Kazakhs regard it as one of the seven treasures.
Kazakh Shepherd dogs give birth to puppies every winter around November. At that time, the temperature in the mountainous areas is around minus 30 degrees Celsius. The puppies are born outdoors in the ice and snow, and there are often seven or eight dogs in a litter. In the end, only one or two survived. Herdsmen take the most powerful puppies into their houses and raise them. When the puppies are two months old, their owners take them out to be baptized by wind, snow and cold weather. When they are three months old, the shepherd dogs can see the house or follow their owners to drive livestock. It is the most effective helper for herdsmen in winter and summer pastures.
Kazakh shepherd dogs have always protected Kazakh herders and their wealth in pastoral areas. Herders often This kind of dog will not be traded, but will be "dog activities" in the form of gifts or exchanges. With the development of the times and lack of maintenance, etc., there are currently fewer and fewer purebred Kazakh Shepherd dogs, and they are in urgent need of excavation, purification and maintenance.
Devoting everything to protect the sheepdog
Hailati drove the reporter to a dog farm more than 3 kilometers away from the county seat. The dogs were enjoying the warm sunshine in winter. They bark happily at the smell of their owners and the taste of strangers. There are 31 Kazakh shepherd dogs in total here. The big dogs are chained, and the half-grown shepherd dogs are all over the place when they see their owners. Haiilati walked away and lovingly picked up the 12-day-old puppy for us to look at. The bitch looked at us strangers with warning.
Originally, Haierati had to go to the dog farm twice a day because With limited resources, he only hired one helper, and many things had to be handled after he got off work. Even though it was hard work, he was very happy, because in this way, he could communicate with the dogs when they were feeding them, and send care and care to the dogs. comfort.
After Haiilati retired from the army, he worked as a professor at a driving school in Fuhai County .
In his life, he found that the number of Kazakh Shepherd Dogs was shrinking rapidly, and there were no varieties. Stop degeneration. In 2009, he came up with the idea of protecting and saving Kazakh Shepherd Dogs.
Whenever he has free time, he visits pastoral areas to collect information about pure-blood Kazakh shepherd dogs. . In the past few years, he traveled to every town in the five townships of Fuhai County.The six surrounding counties and one city also left traces of his search for Kazakh Shepherd Dogs. His idea was that by doing a good job in breeding for now, he could protect the next generation of Kazakh Shepherd Dog breeds.
However, he had no capital and no occasion. It happened that the principal of the driving school loved dogs. , Haierati began to breed Kazakh shepherd puppies with relatively pure bloodlines obtained from pastoral areas through barter exchange in the yard of the driving school.
More than 100 kilograms of dog food every day, a vaccine is 70 yuan, one dog per time Three injections are needed to prevent the epidemic, and the gas cost for a round trip sports car is more than 3,000 yuan every month... Haierati’s monthly salary of nearly 4,000 yuan is all spent on raising dogs. He said that he has invested more than 50,000 yuan in the past few years. Used to protect Kazakh Shepherd dogs, the wages have already made ends meet.
I hope more people will join the maintenance team
Now that the cooperative has been accepted and established, Heilati hopes that more people will participate in the protection of Kazakh shepherd dogs. , to protect, optimize and grow purebred shepherd dogs.
Khayilati said that the Kazakh shepherd dogs did not meet the requirements of tethering and put them away Herdsmen keep them free-range in their homes, so that their nature does not change. From then on, the cooperative will create a file for each shepherd dog, conduct regular inspections, and coordinate centralized breeding, disease prevention, and breeding development so that this dog breed can develop in an orderly manner.
It is reported that Qinghe County and Habahe County in the Altay region have successively established Kazakh Shepherd Dog breeding bases. Fuhai Town, Fuhai County, deputy town in charge of animal husbandry Chief Garin Zhumahan said: "It is obviously not enough to protect Kazakh Shepherd Dogs with only partial efforts at the moment. We need certain strategic support and project resource subsidies from the government to promote the protection of Kazakh Shepherd Dogs. We will work in the future Work hard towards this goal.
