In a rural-urban complex in the north of Anhui, there is a large integrated market, which is not a very good business because it is far from the city centre, and many houses remain idle. Between Sunday and Sunday, however, there was an instant fire, and the internal roads of the market were filled with vehicles coming to purchase. As can be seen from the aerial mapping, the market is still out there in rare fields, and most of the markets are empty.
While the market is usually dominated by vegetables, fruits and some by-products, the flow of people is not too large, by Sunday the market is completely liberalized, where nearby villagers and citizens from the city can market fish insects and pets of all kinds. It is understood that the locals call this Sunday market the Dog Market, meaning that most of the people who come here are dog traders, and the volume of dog deals is considerable.
As soon as the sky was covered, the people who came to trade came together from all sides, and the market was already full of stalls, and the owners of the pets who arrived had to sell in the open or on the road near the market. It is understood that this market was created by the former population, but that the place of origin was not here and was later relocated to the urban-rural sector for reasons of accessibility, environmental health, etc.
There are no management fees in the market and no contractual stalls, so dog prices are generally lower. There are, of course, stalls that sell at higher prices, which are more regulated professional breeds, more pure breeds of dogs and better prevention work, so prices are much higher than those of ordinary breeders.
Most farmers raise their own dogs at particularly low prices, for example, small earthlings at around $20, which can be obtained at a bad price of $5-10. There are many such farmers in the area, raising a few earthling dogs in their own yard, feeding the leftovers, and the dogs are grown up and sold to the market after the full month, as in the case of poultry.
The old man on the left came from Henan's Mall, and he came to the town almost once a week, bought a car and pulled it to Henan for sale. He buys dogs in a different way, and when he discovers a good dog, he gives a “sip price” and the other party agrees to make the deal, or to move to the next family, without excessive delay. An old man was pulling his dog out of a cage and selling it to customers from Henan.
The total price of these dogs was $160 and an average of $20, which was taken away by Henan's uncle. These dogs are not pure and some of them are hybrids, so they can't sell at any price, they're cute and they're better sold, and most of them are raised as meat dogs.
He said he'd come to the city once a week and basically buy a car to get back to Henan for sale or farming. If he didn't come in a week, the farmers would call themselves, but they didn't have much profit, just to get the dogs to sell better. She said that the dogs were farmed by the village's neighbours, that they were commissioned to sell them in exchange for money, and that they were better than one more stray dog, and that the dogs were eventually bought by Henan's uncle at a price of $15.
There are also family-fed pet dogs who choose to sell cheaply for reasons such as taking care of their children in school and being unable to feed upstairs. For them, selling a beloved dog, though a little unattainable, is a desperate move. Do you think the dogs here are cheap? Attention to communication and more grass-roots life stories are welcome.
