From birth to leaving the breeding base, then going home with Snowy and taken to the beach, Snowy’s Persian cat had never had a bath . Although Zhang Zian quickly wiped her down and also brushed her hair before, it was nothing compared to taking a full bath .

After the bath, the hair on her whole body was as white and fluffy as cotton . Her royal and elegant characteristics were completely presented in front of everyone .

Lea said, "She is so pretty . I want a Persian cat now . "

Zhang Zian was happy, but he said seriously, "Persian cats are expensive . Their long hair is also difficult to clean . Someone has to leave ample time to clean the cat . Also, the best thing is to take them to a pet grooming store every now and then . In other words, keeping a Persian is costlier than raising other cats . I recommend evaluating your time and financial ability before making the decision . "

Lea waved her hands immediately, "I wasn’t serious . I am not a persistent person . If I was persistent, I would’ve successfully lost weight by now . An easy cat is a better option for me . "

Zhang Zian replied, "shorthair cats are easier to take care of compared to long-haired ones . "

"Hey, what kind of cat do you guys think that girl has?" Black Jack suddenly asked a question .

Xiao Yan already left in her Mercedes-Benz; however, many people were very curious about her . More than one person was actually thinking the same question . Only Black Jack asked directly .

Xiao Niu rubbed his head . "Well, she was driving a Mercedes-Benz S500 . She’s got money! Her cat has to be expensive . Mr . Manager, what kind of cat is expensive?" Apparently his question was for Zhang Zian .

Zhang Zian didn’t think there was a connection between driving a Mercedes-Benz S500 and raising a cat . However, he still replied, "Among normal cats, Persian, Ragdoll, Scottish Fold, and Turkish Van are the more expensive breeds . "

Gu Tianle had a different opinion, "I think it will be a more ferocious breed, such as a Jaguarundi cat or Caracal…"

People already started discussing . Those were more monstrous than catlike . Who would raise a pet like that in the city?

Gu Tianle insisted on his opinion . He heard from a friend that a friend’s friend was a rural, rich fellow . He had a mixed-breed of a Caracal and a Chinese cat, which was extremely ferocious . It was fed live chickens every day .

However, when someone talked about a friend’s friend, most of the time it was a rumor . It was not reliable at all . People just laughed and didn’t really pay attention .

Xiao Niu bent down, looking around the display cabinets, and could not decide what to get, so he asked, "Mr . Manager, I want to get a dog for my parents . What is your recommendation?"

Lea reminded him, "Hey! Hey! are you crazy? The cats here know stunts . Why would you get a dog?"

Xiao Niu also felt sorry about it, but he explained, "I want to get my parents outside of the apartment more, so a dog is a much better fit . I have never seen someone walk a cat . "

Zhang Zian agreed and suggested, "In these circumstances, a dog really sounds like a better choice . What floor is your home on?"

Xiao Niu said, "First floor . We switched to first floor when we bought this new apartment, considering that the ground floor is more convenient for my aging parents . Also, if there is an emergency, the first floor is a much easier place . "

Zhang Zian said, "If so, a small or medium size dog would be suitable . The biggest dog I would recommend is a Border Collie . Anything bigger than that is not a good option because it would be out of your parents’ control if it was frightened . That could potentially be very dangerous to your parents and others . "

Xiao Niu hesitated . "In fact, my parents did talk about what kind of dog to get when they saw other people’s dogs . They don’t like small dogs like Chihuahuas . They think it looks like a rat . They don’t like the look of a Shar Pei either . They felt that Shar Pei is even more wrinkly than them . Same thing with Schnauzer…"

Zhang Zian couldn’t say a word . This guy had excluded the most common small and middle-sized dogs . Remaining options were limited .

People always long for things they don’t have . For instance, the elderly always like young and active pets . That’s why grandparents always spoil their grandchildren . However, Schnauzer and Shar Pei are popular among young people .

"I understand what you mean . " He thought for a second . "Your parents like dogs that look like a dog . They don’t like weird looking nor super miniature ones, correct?"

"Possibly," Xiao Niu nodded .

"A Welsh Corgi might be a good option," Zhang Zian said and took him to the display cabinet .

A young Welsh Corgi was laying quietly in the display cabinet, unlike the excited Samoya and Chihuahua, who were jumping up and down and could not stop barking . The little Welsh Corgi stood up when the two people came close and steadily stepped up . He sometimes dropped his head, smelled and growled .

Welsh Corgis have two characteristics: the short legs and the big ears . Its two ears and mouth form an equilateral triangle . Big ears don’t look good on human but they look exceptionally cute on dogs .

"A Welsh Corgi is easy to recognize . It can be easily distinguished from a normal Chinese dog . However, it is still a good and normal looking dog . Welsh Corgis are nice to people . The British Royal family is especially fond of them . Queen Elizabeth the second had a Welsh Corgi for over 80 years . She even had the dog with her in the London Olympics Opening Ceremony . If it wasn’t a nice dog, she would not take the dog . " Zhang Zian effortlessly mentioned the royal characteristics of Welsh Corgi because older people liked it . They are proud to present their dog – they have the same kind of dog as the British Queen .

"Children love Welsh Corgis as well because they are short . They are more approaching than a larger sized dog," Zhang Zian finished with all the advantages and he continued with the disadvantages . "Welsh Corgi’s have a long back so they are not good with stairs . Your apartment is on first floor so it shouldn’t be a problem . Also, a Welsh Corgi sometimes barks…"

As if it was a response to Zhang Zian’s words, the Welsh Corgi softly growled . He was quite loud, considering its small size .

Zhang Zian laughed . "You can train him to stop barking . Training a dog is the most fun and fulfilling experience a dog owner could ever have; an untrained dog is no different than a plastic toy . Its hair is thick and it shreds in some seasons . Compared to a Husky, Alaskan Malamute or Samoya, a Welsh Corgi sheds less hair . Also, it is quite active . Your parents have to walk him every day . The longer, the better . If you can take all the disadvantages, a Welch Corgi is a good option . "

Xiao Niu thought for a second . The so-called disadvantages were not a deal breaker, although no dog was perfect . It was great that Mr . Manager was being honest and straightforward . An automatic sweeping robot could take care of the losing hair problem . The barking should be fine because many neighbors had dogs, so they were used to it . In the future when he moved out, a barking dog could guard his parents . Being active was great because that was his purpose of buying a dog for his parents – to keep them busy and active .

Compared to its shortcomings, its advantages were more attractive to him . People like his parents liked to show off . Before retirement, they always showed off their job, wages, and networks . Now, they showed off their children and pets . That was also an important reason why Xiao Niu didn’t want to get them an inexpensive Chinese dog . He didn’t want the neighbors to laugh at his parents behind their back . His parents would be so proud to tell the neighbors that the dog was the same as the British Queen’s .

"Okay! That’s it!" Xiao Niu made a decision .

When he and Zhang Zian went back to the cashier desk, Xiao Yan came back .
