[Commentary] In China Rescue Yunnan Search and Rescue Dog Mobile Detachment, there is a special trainer. His job is not to train the professional skills of search and rescue dogs, but to take care of puppies. His work may seem relaxed, but he has the responsibility of selecting the best future search and rescue dogs. On April 9, the reporter saw in the detachment that breeder Yuan Jinchun was looking at a litter of puppies just 11 days old in the kennel.
[Explanation] Yuan Jinchun has been responsible for puppies breeding since 2015. Currently, more than 400 puppies have been bred, of which more than 200 have been trained as mature search and rescue dogs and put into work. China Rescue Yunnan Search and Rescue Dog Mobile Detachment is responsible for the breeding and technical training of search and rescue dogs in the fire brigade of 15 provinces and cities in the south, as well as the nationwide construction collapse and geological disaster search and rescue work.
[Commentary] Yuan Jinchun goes to the kennel every day to check the condition of puppies and bitches to ensure that puppies thrive. The feeding time after feeding is the most important part of the puppies' growth process. The training ground is divided into different areas to allow the puppies to adapt to the complex environment from an early age. At the same time, Yuan Jinchun will also put the rags into a bundle to exercise Puppy's title desire.

Take this piece of desire and make it a must for a qualified search and rescue dog. If it is said that it cannot reach the title, in the later stage, especially in the disaster area and in a complex environment, if it does not have a strong hunting motivation, it is difficult for us to train it. If there is only food motivation, it is not so strong when it comes to the mission.
[Commentary] When the puppies grow up to three or four months, the detachment will have a special appraisal team, according to the dog's appearance, physique, backbone, desire, courage, food motivation, environmental adaptability, etc. Only appraisal, select the best among them for professional training.
[Same period] (Yuan Jinchun, breeder of China Rescue Yunnan Search and Rescue Dog Mobile Detachment)
In my opinion, a dog, my first thing, I will look at its eyes, a dog with its eyes looking at you, you can see it, just like us, really like, it is very spirit. Then I will further look at its physical condition, appearance, as well as its torso, its growth, and tail strips, to see how bold it is. Then I will tentatively stroke it to see if it is more active than others, and then find some items to adjust its power to see if its power can meet the standard of our search and rescue dogs.
[Commentary] The dogs bred by Yuan Jinchun are serving in all parts of China. Every time the dogs are sent away, although there will be reluctance, but whenever they see them become more professional under the training of trainers, When the rescue scene saw them, he would still feel contented and proud.
[Same period] (Yuan Jinchun, breeder of China Rescue Yunnan Search and Rescue Dog Mobile Detachment)
As usual, I do n’t send them away. Every day, thirty or forty dogs walk around me. Even in some days at night or in windy or rainy days, I still want to take a look at it. My heart will be a little empty. But when they see their training subjects on other trainers, and various practical skills are getting stronger, they still have a sense of satisfaction.
