463 Police Dog Training Base (2/2)
”This way please.” Old Han exchanged a few words with the police officers on duty and then led them into the small building on their left side.
”Bark!”
”Bark!”
The dogs in the small building had probably smelled Famous, so they kept barking so loud that the sounds were almost deafening.
There weren't many rooms in the two-story building, but each room was very large. The walls and floors of each room were covered by shiny tiles. With mops and brooms hanging behind the doors, the rooms were filled with the faint smell of disinfectant water, of which Zhang Zian was familiar.
Seven or eight large stainless-steel cages lined in the room, and every steel cage was almost as tall as a human. Separated down the middle, each steel cage could fit two large dogs. There were wheels under the steel cages, similar to the hospital beds, that enable them to be pushed.
Currently, there were probably ten German Shepherds living in these cages. All of them were fully-grown, and their size and fur color almost the same as Famous. Their differences could only be seen only in the details in their appearances.
”Holy s**t! Look at this!” It was rare for the assistant to use foul language in front of Feng Xuan. Pointing to the first cage beside the door, he said with surprise, ”Look at the fences. They've been bitten so badly!”
Zhang Zian went to take a closer look and saw that the stainless-steel fences were covered with tooth marks as wide as an adult man's thumb. The bumpy and horrifying surfaces of the fences made them look like roasted corns that had almost been gnawed away completely.
It was clear that these German Shepherds were fierce. Even though their shape was similar to Famous, if you compared them, Famous' temperament was obviously gentler.
”This one is called 'Big Teeth'. It is excellent at biting, but poor at following orders. Once it bites something, it refuses to loosen up. No matter how much we train it, it can't change,” said a police officer. The German Shepherd in the cage revealed its white teeth, provocatively watching Famous.
”What's the criteria for selecting police dogs?” Feng Xuan asked.
Old Han gestured for the police officer to reply. With his chin up and chest out, the police officer recited aloud, ”According to the working rules of police dog breeding, the following five criteria should be met for the selection of police dogs: good neural types, courage, good physical fitness, the ability to hold things in their mouth, and the ability to follow orders.”
”So,” Feng Xuan asked, ”in other words, the dogs here are performing poorly in one or more aspects?”
”That's right,” said Old Han.
Feng Xuan pondered for a moment and asked Zhang Zian, ”It's not good if we choose dogs with poor obedience skills to shoot our movie, right?”
Since Zhang Zian had promised Famous and Liu that he would buy as many dogs as possible, he bit the bullet and said, ”Don't worry, Director Feng. I don't think they have a problem.”
Old Han frowned slightly. He was an experienced and prudent man who couldn't agree with Zhang Zian's perspective without giving it serious thought. He was worried that the eliminated dogs would cause problems during the movie shoot. Feng Xuan seemed to trust Zhang Zian very much, so Old Han asked him, ”Director Feng, who is this?”
”Oh, this is the chief dog trainer of our crew, Zhang Zian. He has a pet shop in the city.” Feng Xuan introduced and then pointed to Famous, ”This is his dog, Famous, who he trained himself, and it is the protagonist of the film.”
Old Han was so surprised that he reexamined Famous. ”I heard that this is the dog that beat Red Dragon and Prince, right? Even though Red Dragon and Prince are the stars of our base and ranked at the top in every test.”
No wonder he was suspicious of Famous. There was another set of criteria for the details of the appearance of police dogs inside the base. As a man who had seen countless German Shepherds, Old Han had very sharp eyes. To him, Famous was a very ordinary dog. He couldn't believe that Famous was able to beat Red Dragon and Prince.
