The Institute of Special Wild Economic Animals and Plants, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, used the mutant white gene from the wild coat color (the common color type), and after 16 years of research, finally succeeded in breeding the new color type white raccoon dog we now have, the Jilin white raccoon dog. Phenotypically, the new color type white raccoon dog has two forms: one retains the wild-type coat color only on the eye rims, ear edges, nose tip, paws and tail tip, while the guard hairs and underfur on all other parts of the body are pure white; the other has pure white guard hairs and underfur on all parts of the body. The two white raccoon dogs are the same as the wild-type raccoon dog in body shape, appearance, habits and reproductive capacity,

The two white raccoon dogs are the same as the wild-type raccoon dog in body shape, appearance, habits, reproductive capacity and so on, with a gentle temperament, an easy tendency to become obese, and a relatively large body weight. The coat color of both white raccoon dogs is highly appealing, and the fur they produce is much favored by domestic and foreign buyers, selling at a higher price than pelts of the wild-type coat color.

The Jilin white raccoon dog is a new breed developed in recent years and is the preferred breed for raccoon dog farming. Jilin white raccoon dogs should not be mated with each other, because this creates a gene overlap lethal phenomenon, which leads to low output and affects farming profitability. Therefore, they should be crossbred between white raccoon dogs and common Ussuri raccoon dogs, so that the survival rate of the offspring will be higher.

Looking at the current farming market, raccoon dog farming should be said to be one of the most profitable varieties in the current special animal farming industry. In particular, the white raccoon dog market that emerged in 2005 has injected new vitality into the @#@252@#@ industry, and farmers who developed white raccoon dog breeding last year will have generous returns in 2006. How long can the white raccoon dog farming market remain prosperous? Let us analyze the breeding characteristics of the white raccoon dog and the supply-demand relationship in the market, and the answer can be obtained. The first white raccoon dog found in China was in 1974, and in 1980 white raccoon dogs bred among farmers in the Heilongjiang region were again discovered. The Institute of Special Wild Economic Animals and Plants, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, used these precious white raccoon dog mutant genes and, after more than 10 years of research, finally succeeded in breeding the new white raccoon dog color type now found in China. That is to say, the farming history of the white raccoon dog in China is only about 10 years, and the manifestation of its value only became apparent from the beginning of 2005. The farming prospects are very broad, and demand is strong.
