Chapter 120: New Dog Arrives, Dog Gang Returns

Although they were reluctant, the dogs still followed Yue Feng and left the Chen family. They walked out of the village slowly, and after walking along a production road for several kilometers, they followed Yue Feng to Xing’an Village.

Along the way, Yue Feng did not ride a bicycle, but pushed the bike home.

Although the dogs followed me, there were four half-grown puppies in the basket on the back seat. When I rode on the road, the snow was flattened, and I was afraid that something might happen if I fell.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Yue Feng pushed the cart and returned home with the dog.

“Dad! I brought the dog back!” Yue Feng called out, and soon Yue Lei came out of the house with crutches and Hawk.

“Didn’t they say there were three dogs? Why are there four half-grown puppies?” Yue Lei was a little confused when he saw the dogs his son brought home.

“Don’t mention it. I was lucky to have caught them. These four cubs are hybrids of wolves and mountain dogs. My uncle Chen bought them for me at the Fang’an market today!”

“Wolf-blood cub, you are so big now, you should have all your teeth, so you need to eat meat!” Yue Lei is indeed an knowledgeable person.

“Eat it if you want! We have guns, dogs, and people now, so why not feed a few puppies? Go hunting in the winter when there are plenty of livestock. Kill a few more cannon fowls and feed these puppies.

“When we raise the puppies until next autumn, when they are a year old, they can go up the mountain and learn to work. Then it will be a completely different situation! What do you think?”

“Okay, then raise him! Your mother and I support you!”

“Hey! I’ll go to the warehouse and find some boards to make a kennel for the dog! I’ll ask my mom to prepare some dog food for the dog. The new dog has arrived, so he needs to have a good first meal!”

“Just go get it, don’t worry about the dog food!”

Yue Feng carried the basket containing the puppies into the house and tied the three dogs in the yard.

He entered the warehouse and took out some unused pine boards from the wall. Then he went into the house to find nails and a hammer, and started working busily in the yard.

For people living in forest areas, things like pine boards are not rare. The boards used to nail dog kennels are very thick.

Yue Feng used a small saw and hammered in nails. After working for half an afternoon, he finally finished making three large dog kennels.

“Dahuang!” Yue Feng called out, and the head dog Dahuang, who was lying on the ground, immediately pricked up his ears.

“This is your kennel from now on!” Yue Feng led the dog and tied Dahuang in front of the kennel.

Next was Dahei. This black dog had a wound on its back that had not yet healed from being sutured. Yue Feng helped to bandage it temporarily on the mountain. This dog was the closest to Yue Feng, and after entering the house, it wagged its tail at Yue Feng desperately.

The last one was a black and white cow-colored dog. This dog was much more timid. It was very timid when it entered Yue Feng’s yard. It was tied to the front of the doghouse by Yue Feng. It quickly slipped into the doghouse and lay there looking pitifully, looking particularly miserable.

After settling the three dogs, the people who had gone up the mountain to release the hawks soon returned one after another.

When Xiao Tao and Xiao Wen heard that Yue Feng had brought a few dogs from Chen Pao’s family, they were very excited and planned to go up the mountain to hunt pigs the next day.

Yue Feng shook his head: “This newly arrived dog can’t continue to work in the mountains. It hasn’t gotten used to its new owner yet. If you let go of it, it will definitely get lost!”

“How long will that take? After going up the mountain to hunt pigs twice, it always feels like something is missing if I go to release eagles. It’s more exciting and satisfying than hunting pigs!” Xiao Tao looked at Yue Feng pitifully.

Yue Feng grinned and said, “A few days won’t make a difference. Let’s raise it for ten days or half a month until it’s tamed. By the way, come into the house with me. I’ll show you my new puppy, a mountain dog with half wolf blood!”

Hearing Yue Feng’s call, the brothers followed him into the west room where Yue Feng slept.

The lid of the wicker basket was opened, and soon four dogs crawled out of the basket.

When they arrived at the new place, the iron-waisted leader dog sniffed around, and when it found that the smell matched Yue Feng’s, it quickly calmed down and lay down at Yue Feng’s feet, looking very stable.

In comparison, the other dogs performed worse, sniffing around everywhere. The smallest one was even frightened to the point of peeing after just two minutes out of the basket by the people in the room.

“Judging from the skeleton of this dog, it should be three or four months old. Why is it so thin? The owner of the dog doesn’t care about it at all!” Xiaowen said as he touched the back of the dog lying on the ground.

“Yeah, this is the first time I’ve seen such a skinny puppy. He’s as thin as a monkey. He must not be full!” Xiaowu also responded.

Yue Feng said: “This wolf cub is one month old and has grown all its teeth. It is time for it to start eating meat. It is already good enough for Zou Laoqi from Hexi to raise the wolf cub to this size. There is no way it can be fat and strong!
But now that they are at my house, I can no longer just fool around with them. I plan to spend a whole winter and a whole spring feeding them well every day to raise these half-grown pups!”

Xiaowen nodded: “Of course it will work. This is a wolf-blood breed, especially the first generation. I heard that the quality of the puppies is high, but if we go back and produce the next generation, the genetic traits will easily go wrong!”

“Just keep them. When these four dogs grow up, we will have seven dogs. Then we can go wherever we want. We won’t be afraid of wolves, tigers or leopards!”

……

The brothers stayed in the house for a while to admire the new kid, and then went home to rest. Yue Feng counted the game and then rode his bike into the city to deliver the goods.

When I came back in the evening, the four puppies in the house had settled down and were lying in a row next to the wicker basket. They were very well behaved.

At this time, my mother had prepared the dog food for the dog. It was wild boar offal mixed with cornmeal and half a spoonful of bear oil. After it cooled down a little, it gave off a rich aroma of fat and meat. Not to mention feeding the dog, even Yue Feng wanted to take a spoonful to taste it.

Yue Feng took out several new aluminum basins from the basket on the back seat of the car. Each basin was filled with dog food. He then brought them to the three dogs in the yard one by one.

Smelling the aroma of food, the three dogs began to get eager to try. Yue Feng fed the lead dog Dahuang first, and then Dahei and Xiaohua. The three dogs probably hadn’t eaten in the morning, so they ate without restraint and enjoyed the food very much.

Yue Feng just squatted beside and watched, petting one dog, then another. The three dogs ate very well, without any bad habits like guarding the food or growling. When the dog food bowl was brought aside, they just grunted twice and shook their tails to express their dissatisfaction. After the food bowl was brought back, they continued to eat with their heads down.

Lao Chen Pao’s dogs are absolutely well trained. They have a clear awareness of their master and their own status, especially Dahuang, who is the head dog. This dog is very smart. He didn’t get angry when the food bowl was moved aside, and his tail wagged like a Hot Wheels.

Watching the three dogs finish their meal, Yue Feng played with them for a while and then strolled into the house.

“These dogs are okay, they’re pretty stable! You were out for a long time, and the dogs didn’t bark much!” Yue Lei commented calmly.

Yue Feng nodded: “I estimate that it won’t take ten days or half a month to train the dogs well! The dogs that Chen Pao trained are all very well behaved!”

“What are you going to do with these cubs? Except for a few sets of offal, all the meat at home is good meat. It’s a bit of a waste to feed the dogs!” Mother Meng Yulan said with some distress. “It’s okay. Let’s feed the dogs with offal first. Feed these cubs with offal for a few days. After a few days, the Eagle Gang canteen will have enough reserves. Then I will take people up the mountain and bring back a few eggs. Then we don’t have to worry about meat for the dogs!”

“You didn’t make a kennel for the puppy. Why do you keep it indoors in the winter? Such a small dog hasn’t even learned to go out to pee. The house is full of the smell of urine and it’s unbearable! Just now when I entered your room, you peed on the floor!” the mother asked again.

Yue Feng grinned: “It’s okay, just feed them well for two days, and once they have adapted to the environment, we will start to clean up these puppies. Now is the time to set rules for them. Uncle Chen taught me how to do it!”

Hearing her son’s plan, Meng Yulan didn’t say anything else. She quickly pushed aside the dining table and the family of four started to eat.

When a few people were eating in the house, four puppies at the door next to them started to scratch at the door and beg for food. Needless to say, they were definitely hungry.

His mother had already taken out the offal for feeding the dog and melted it. Yue Feng was not in a hurry. He finished his meal leisurely and then carried the basin of offal into his room.

The four puppies smelled the bloody smell from the basin that Yue Feng was carrying and became more and more excited. Two of them were so impatient that they even tried to pull at Yue Feng’s cotton pants in an attempt to stand up.

Yue Feng didn’t say anything. He held the kang broom in his right hand and put the basin on the ground with his left hand.

The dogs, who had been hungry for the whole day, immediately swarmed over when they saw the man go into the water, and showed off wildly with their heads down.

At this time, Yue Feng shouted “Stop!”, and only the leader dog among the four dogs looked up, while the other three dogs did not even raise their heads.

Upon seeing this, Yue Feng called out the names of the people one by one.

The force isn’t strong, so it certainly won’t hurt anything, but it will definitely hurt.

The four dogs were in pain, and except for the smallest one who was still lowering his head to show off his food, the other three didn’t dare to eat.

Yue Feng moved the food bowl upwards. The smallest dog could not reach the meat and began to whimper softly.

“How dare you meow at me!” With a bang, the fourth child was hit by the broom again.

The four dogs looked up eagerly at Yue Feng grabbing the meat in the basin, and naturally sat up.

“Good dog! Sit!!” Yue Feng reinforced the command, then picked up a piece of offal and fed it to the leader dog.

The second and third brothers came next. The fourth brother, who was the most greedy and got beaten, didn’t get to eat the meat and was very anxious. However, since he had just been beaten, he didn’t dare to show his teeth to Yue Feng.

Yue Feng walked two steps in the room holding the basin. The dog that was sitting there quickly stood up and followed him. Yue Feng shouted the command to sit again.

This time, only the smartest boss immediately sat down obediently, while the other three dogs still stood around his feet wagging their tails.

“Good dog!” Yue Feng gave the boss another piece of meat.

Training a dog sounds difficult, but if you understand the principles behind it, it is much easier than training an eagle.

Especially, among the four dogs, there is a very smart dog like the eldest, who can understand what sit means at once and can demonstrate the command to other dogs very well.

Yue Feng repeated this process several times, and after that, the other dogs followed suit and learned to sit following the leader’s command.

Within the time it takes to feed them, all four puppies could understand and sit. Their progress is much faster than that of ordinary hound puppies.

Yue Feng was not greedy. He reinforced the command once more and put the basin on the ground. Then the four dogs continued to show off with their heads down.

Yue Feng only fed the dog until it was about 60% full. He stopped eating when the dog’s belly showed a slight outline.

It’s not that Yue Feng is feeling sorry for the food he has just eaten, but the new dog is in an uncertain state. It’s best to observe it for a day or two before returning to the normal feeding stage. The stomach of a puppy is relatively fragile, and it usually can’t eat enough. If it suddenly eats a lot, it may get too full and easily cause problems.

While the puppies were eating, Yue Feng observed the behavior of the four dogs. After finishing a meal, Yue Feng had a preliminary assessment of the dogs’ temperaments.

This smartest leader dog has the most stable personality and the best physical fitness. When he is eating, the other two dogs next to him dare not get too close to him, otherwise they will be bitten on the spot.

The second and third dogs next to them were of moderate character. They knew their position among the four dogs and did not dare to blatantly snatch food from the head dog. Even when bitten, they did not resist, but moved slightly to the side to avoid the “sphere of influence” of the head dog and continued to snatch food as much as possible.

The one that Yue Feng found most interesting was the smallest one, the fourth one.

The fourth child was so desperate to eat that even after being bitten twice by the head dog, he admitted defeat. However, he only remembered the bites for three seconds and in the blink of an eye he boldly moved to the middle of the bowl again.

Logically speaking, among the four dogs, the head dog should eat the most, and the others should follow. However, after a meal, Yue Feng discovered that the fourth dog’s belly was as round as the head dog’s.

This little thing is interesting. It’s a greedy wolf who will do anything to achieve his goal.

People who really understand dogs know that different dogs have different personalities. Even dogs from the same litter can have obvious differences in temperament and character.

The fourth one with the smallest head is not the best choice from the perspective of hunting dog training. He is impatient, difficult to control, timid, and scared to death as soon as he got home. He is a bit weak and cannot distinguish between the big and small kings.

However, in a dog gang, such dogs are indispensable.

It may not be the material to be a leader dog, and it is difficult for it to lead a pack of dogs on its own, but if it is well trained, it can be a very practical helper dog.

Helper dogs are all snobs, just like the kind of players in the crowd who like to take advantage of others. If their team is powerful, they will do it. If the situation is unfavorable, they will not act recklessly. They know what to do to protect themselves from getting hurt as much as possible.

It looks a bit cowardly, right? But cowardice is the basis for a hound to survive better. A brave dog bites hard and dares to face the enemy head-on, but such a dog is also very easy to get hurt, or even die in a fight.

A truly good hunting dog in the northern forests is the kind that dares to go all out in an easy battle, and has the brains to maneuver and restrain the opponent in a tough battle, and will not act recklessly. Now the Paw Patrol, which is composed of dogs like the Pit Bull and Dogo Argentino, is simply risking their lives when they encounter a tough opponent, and has lost the essence of dog hunting.

Yue Feng thought for a moment and named the four dogs.

The eldest is a dog with a strong waist and a light-colored fur, and is called Canglong. The second has the most dense black fur on his back and a big black face, and is called Heihu. The third has mottled fur and does not look as good as the eldest and second, and is called Huabao. The fourth has the smallest head, but is also the most cunning, and is called Tanlang.
