All About Pandas Dogs
Pandas, a new breed, or modern art? That is the question when it comes to investigating the new trend that is all the rage in the Asian country, China. Apparently, the dog became, from a highly sought-after gastronomic dish in China, to the “faithful companion” that everyone wants.
Origin of pandas dogs
Pandas dogs, or better known as pandogs , are the creation of the Chinese Hsin Ch’en. This character is famous for creating “new breeds” of dogs, which resemble other animals. However, this “creation” does not simply consist of a mixture of races until the ideal appearance is obtained. It is about taking advantage of the multiplicity of aspects of the existing races, and applying a series of new techniques to them to transform their appearance.
According to this, pandas are nothing other than normal Chow Chow dogs. Techniques are applied to these animals to make them look like pandas. According to the creator’s statements, these techniques are not abrasive to the health of dogs.
features
Among the traits that can be observed in pandas dogs, is the distinctive hue of pandas in the coat and its distribution. That is, they have a white toll, with black spots on their eyes and legs. They also have a black belt right in the stomach.
The trend has been very marked in China. Hsin Ch’en’s Chengdu store can no longer keep up with the demand for these little panda dogs. Perhaps there is a simple reason that this method has become a trend. The panda, culturally in China, has a great value, since ancient times, as a sacred and admired animal.
However, it is not only in the Hsin Ch’en store that you can find these types of dogs. In fact, they are already available in other stores in the country and around the world. The technique has spread among dog sellers, in order to meet the great demand that panda dogs currently have in the market.
The rest of the world
In other countries of the world the fashion of pandog is also spreading. Among other things, and for the tenderness they convey and the novelty of having a dog similar to the beloved pandas. Everyone seems to want to buy their little bear.
The resemblance of the pandas is so real that the Orfel circus, in Italy, was closed after a complaint that explained that they were deceiving their spectators. The pandas they displayed were no such thing, but panda dogs.
When the reality was discovered, that pandas dogs were nothing more than simple dogs with dyed fur, they began to receive demands for animal protection against the circus. After extensive research, it was discovered that the panda dogs had been purchased from Hungary. In fact, they received no collateral damage from the pigmentation of their fur.
The animal protection community could not achieve its objective, since the only damage that circus dogs had, were caused by exposure to lights.
However, even though the chemicals used do not directly affect the dog’s coat, the animal protection community remains vigilant. Disagreement continues due to the aesthetic changes caused.
Maintenance
The beauty of pandas dogs goes hand in hand with high costs. First, when the animal is acquired, since the cosmetic technique is very difficult and takes long hours of work. In a second phase, because as it is paint, the effect needs maintenance or it will be lost.
The dyeing process should be applied approximately every 6 months for the rest of the dog’s life. One of the criticisms made of the process is that it is not known what the effects of the technique may be over the years.
It is curious that a dog like the Chow Chow, which was originally considered food, is today one of the most requested pets in the country and the world.
It must be remembered that its appearance in culinary feasts and dishes was so great that its very name “Chow” means “food” in vulgar Chinese.
They are quirky and interesting animals because of their modified appearance. But exposing these dogs to this type of beauty procedure does not seem to be the most ethical or correct thing to do.
