Recently, the Yellowstone City canine regulations (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) have been fully enforced. The Yellowstone City canine ban list, published by the Ordinance, identifies 40 dogs as covered by the ban, and does not include yellow stone dog species, yellow arrows. It used to travel through the jungle with a keen sense of smell and excellent running power, and was admired by hunters for their fierceness and stamina. Today, the yellow arrows, once described as the King of Hounds, are on the verge of extinction and are fading away from local perspectives and almost forgotten.
The former jungle king.
According to the Regulations, raising dogs of more than 60 cm heights of adults is prohibited in Yellowstone, which is determined to be the distance from the highest point of the shoulder to the ground when the adult dog stands. Yellow arrow hair dogs are divided between medium dogs and small dogs, with medium dogs with shoulder heights of 40 to 50 cm and small dogs with shoulders of 30 to 40 cm. It is clear that yellow arrows are not prohibited.
According to the 100-degree search, the yellow arrow-hound is a Chinese dog, a native dog species in places such as Hubei Yellowstone, with a long body, strong body, short and hard hair, rattails and ears. On the streets of Yellowstone City, Jiri randomly interviewed 20 people on the streets. No one knew about Yellowstone and the dog. However, there are still a group of loyal fans of yellow stone-flush dogs in the Yang Xin and Grand Metal villages.
The 51-year-old Liang Song is from Pesha Town, Yang Xin County, where his father, Liang Suhua, is remembered as a hunter. In the 1980s, three hounds were raised at home, and every winter time a farmer was idle, his father always had an old friend with whom he had a common hobby, carrying a shotgun and hunting with a hound. In the absence of a ban on hunting, pheasants and rabbits became food on the table.
"The yellow arrows have spots in their tongues and all their pure mouths are "flames." Brethren explained that the tongue of the yellow arrow dog was a purple spot, and if the whole tongue was purple and proved to be the best, it would be seen by hunters as if they had found the treasure. His father had a purified yellow-brow canine and a full purple tongue.
"Why is it called an arrow-hound? That's because the hair on the back is so hard, it's like an arrow. Brethren said that, in its appearance, Yellowstone Shafts and local Chinese dogs are not too different, but their hairs are particularly strong, they take years to run in the jungle, and they fight every kind of bird in the jungle, so their hairs are the best armor to protect their bodies from harm. “More than 30 years ago, there were very few purified yellow arrow dogs.” Liang Song said that Yellowstone Shaggy operations were very agile, easy to train, and dared to confront a dog bigger than it. At the same time, Yellowstone Shaggy has a strong endurance and a very fast run, loyal to his master, admired by local hunters, and recognized as a king in the jungle.
“As soon after his father's death, the `Big Yellow' in his home was also missing.” Liang Song said that, in the early 1990s, after the death of his father, the flair dog who accompanied his father in the jungle was also missing.
An endangered hound.
"Why is it called Yellowstone? That's because it's only the Yellowstone region that has the dog in the first place." This year's 41-year-old Ouyang Zheng is a man from Pesha village in Yang Xin County and a big fan of Yellowstone Shaves. He explained that the Yellowstone Shaggy had been called a “Western Dog” or a “Trust Hound” by the local people. Because the back is so thick and thick, it's like when farmers work, wearing a turban made of brown hair on their bodies, touching it like an arrow. In addition, yellow arrow-hounds usually bow themselves before the attack, as if arrows were ready to be fired, and thus given a name. With the adoption by some off-site hunters of flairhounds from Yellowstone, the formation of today's “Yellow Arrowhounds” slowly took place.
"From a young age, dogs were preferred, and yellow arrows were raised in 2017." Auyang told the author that the number of yellow stone-flush dogs that are so pure today is only about 20, and if not for fans, even a pure one may be missing today.
Auyang explained that the difference between Yellowstone and normal Chinese field dogs is that hunting success rates are very popular with local hunters. As a result of their harshness, the preparedness of strangers is generally strong and the care of the home is harsh and marginalized by ordinary farmers. So, Yellowstone has a smaller and smaller space.
The main reason for the disappearance of the yellow arrows is that, with the disappearance of the hunters, the arrows raised in the countryside are scattered outside, mixed with the earth dogs and have lost their pure blood. At the same time, in recent years, a large number of dogs have been imported from abroad, while yellow-stone furhounds have been living in remote mountainous areas, so no one knows and are now on the verge of extinction.
“A number of yellow-stone furhounds are now somewhat similar to those of the past, but the original nature of hunting has fallen a lot.” Ouyang said.
The dog-loved breed.
On the Internet, DI found that the flair dogs were not only yellow stone, but also Guangxi, Jiangxi and Hunan. In appearance, it is almost difficult to discern differences.
“There is still a great difference between the outsider, the insider, and the outsider. Auyang introduced the fact that Yellow Arrow Shaggy is very different from the other gilldogs elsewhere, not only in the face, but also in the velvet, body type under the hair.
In recent days, Jiri has come to Ouyang's home in Yang Xin countryside and has seven dogs in the backyard.
He explained that, after having heard from the village ' s elders about Yellowstone Shaggy, he was born to look for an idea, the first being that 800 dollars were purchased from a chicken farm in Yang Xin Tao Port, at the behest of a friend. The purchase was only four months old, as it was a dog, and he always wanted to buy another she-dog with her seed.
“Seven and eight yellow stone hairhound lovers are working hard to breed.” Auyang said that, through the network, he had met some yellow arrow-hound fans like him, and that at the end of last year he had been told that a pure-grain arrow-hound dog in Grand Metal Cow had fallen into a nest and that he had immediately ordered a puppy for $2,400.
"In a few months, we can plant." Auyang says he is a truck driver who earns his family's living by running for transportation, but he spends a great deal of money looking for a purified yellow arrow dog to breed out of love for a native yellow stone dog. Auyang said that the fans of the yellow arrow dogs had their own profession, like him, but that insistence was not known for how long.
