"Miss Qin, you came to our flower, bird and pet market today. Are you here to buy something? I am quite familiar with this area and can introduce it to you." After Qin Suyun paid the money and signed, the girl at the front desk saw that she was free now, so she started chatting with Qin Suyun again.
Having worked in this business for a long time, she could tell at a glance whether the other party wanted to buy something or was looking for someone.
The other party's rescue of the cat and dog today was obviously an accident. After all, no one could have known in advance that there were injured cats and dogs here and come to their rescue out of kindness.
After thinking things through clearly, the girl at the front desk looked at Qin Suyun with a smile.
Qin Suyun didn't hide the fact that she wasn't as familiar with this area as the little girl, so she nodded and smiled, "I came here today to buy a dog. I'm planning to open a flower garden, and I need a few dogs to help me look after it."
"To guard the house..." The girl at the front desk raised her brows, thought for a moment, and said, "Ms. Qin, have you decided what breed of dog to buy?"
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Qin Suyun asked.
The little girl's expression showed that she had an idea. She had also looked up information before coming here, but her knowledge of the varieties was not as detailed as that of a professional.
"Dobermans, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds are all good for guarding the house."
The girl at the front desk explained clearly, "These three are common police and military dogs, more than capable of guarding homes. They're all large dogs. But the German Shepherd is slightly smaller on average."
"However, the winter here can be a bit cold. The German Shepherd is more suited to our local climate because its fur is thicker and longer than the other two breeds. This way, they won't get cold outside in the winter."
The little girl winked at Qin Suyun playfully: "And since you adopted Dahei, from the perspective of the next generation, a German Shepherd would be more suitable."
"Of course, Tibetan Mastiffs have thick fur and are very fierce. But Miss Qin plans to plant a flower garden, so buying a dog that costs over a million to guard the house isn't worth it... hehe."
Qin Suyun nodded, thanked the other party, smiled gently at him and asked if there was a reliable pet shop where she could buy a puppy.
She had looked up information when she came, and many online sources said that puppies around three months old were the best. This way, she only needed to ensure the puppy had three meals a day, and there shouldn't be any big mistakes. After all, she had never raised a dog before.
Consider that humans have a longer lifespan than canines.
Qin Suyun plans to buy two pairs of puppies, and it is best if they are not born from the same litter, so as to ensure the smooth reproduction of their offspring. She plans to learn from those sled caravans, continue to develop and expand the team, so that others will no longer dare to bully her!
She never wants to experience the days of hiding in a panic, wandering around, suffering, and separation from loved ones in her dream again in her life!
"Miss Qin, if you believe me, I can recommend a kennel to you. It's run by our director's younger brother." The girl smiled even brighter when she heard that Qin Suyun needed her to recommend a shop. She pointed to a shop across the street and said enthusiastically, "Don't be fooled by its small size. I guarantee its quality is among the best in the entire pet market!"
"And any dog you buy from the store across the street that needs injections or treatment can come to our store and get a 20% discount! And if it gets sick within seven days of taking it home, we'll even refund or exchange it!" The receptionist enthusiastically recommended it to Qin Suyun, "If Miss Qin is interested, we can go across the street first. Dahei and the cat will probably need a long time to treat anyway, and it's boring to just wait here."
"Okay, thank you." Qin Suyun had a gentle smile on her lips. She did not forget the purpose of coming here today. She turned her head and looked at the operating room. There was no movement for a while, so she followed the girl at the front desk to the pet shop opposite.
This pet shop is not big, with two storefronts, and it looks to be only about 80 square meters. It is at least ten times smaller than the three-story Xinxin Pet Hospital across the street.
As the two entered the store, a dark, thin, and strong middle-aged man sitting inside came forward with a chuckle and said, "Xinxin, why did you decide to bring your friend to my store today? Are you planning to buy our special dog food? Or are you here to introduce me to some business?"
"Of course I'm introducing you to business!" Xinxin stuck out her tongue. "The dog food I bought the day before yesterday, the ones at home haven't finished it yet!"
The dark, thin, middle-aged man laughed. "That's great! I haven't opened the shop yet this early in the morning, so I'm relying on you!"
The two chatted casually for a few minutes, and the dark, thin, middle-aged man set his sights on Qin Suyun and said with a warm smile, "What kind of dog do you want to buy, young lady? Although my shop is small, we have many varieties. And even if I don't have it, I can help you contact other sources."
"I want to buy two pairs of German Shepherds to guard the flower garden. The dogs should be around three or four months old, so they are more obedient and easier to train." Qin Suyun's eyes fell on a cage in the right corner of the room. Three brown and black German Shepherds were locked in the cage.
"Hmm? Obedient? Easy to train?..." The thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, paused for a moment, and thought with his hand on his chin. "If Miss Qin is in a hurry and just wants to find a few dogs to guard the flower garden, choosing puppies around three or four months old is fine. But if Miss Qin is not in a hurry, I would actually recommend buying puppies around 40 days old to train."
"40 days?" Qin Suyun looked puzzled and curious.
Doesn’t a lot of information online say that you should choose three or four large puppies?
"Puppy training usually begins 45 days after birth. And we start taking reservations for the dogs in our kennel at 40 days old. Those that haven't been bought by the time they're three or four months old are mostly leftovers. We either sell these dogs cheaply in our store or sell them in bulk to other stores at a rock-bottom price, to customers who aren't too picky." The thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man pointed to the three wolfhounds in the cage and said with a smile, "You're the customer Xinxin brought here, so I won't frame you. Although these three puppies are strong, they're too active and not suitable for guard dog training, so we're still waiting for the right buyer."
A hint of understanding flashed in Qin Suyun's eyes. Every dog has a different personality, just like some people are quiet and gentle, suitable to be medical staff, but people with hot tempers and impatient personalities are more suitable for doing other jobs.
"Ms. Qin, there are still three litters of wolf puppies in the kennel that have not yet been booked, a total of 26. If Miss Qin is interested, please come to the store two weeks later. I can take Miss Qin directly to the kennel to choose." The dark and thin middle-aged man was extremely enthusiastic.
“Do I need to pay a deposit first?”
Qin Suyun thought for a while and decided to wait half a month before buying a puppy. This half month was just enough for her to take care of the two patients in the hospital across the street. Otherwise, she might not be able to take care of them.
"No need. Miss Qin can just call me directly when the time comes." The dark, thin, middle-aged man smiled and quickly exchanged numbers with Qin Suyun. It was obvious that he still valued this business. He always trusted his own judgment. He knew at a glance that Miss Qin was sincere in wanting to buy a dog. He naturally welcomed such a customer.
