How to carry out good selection and mating in white raccoon dog breeding
The coat color of the white raccoon dog type currently found in China is already very stable, that is, the white-haired parts, whether guard hairs or underfur, are entirely white, with no other mixed colors (such as guard hairs white but underfur not white or partly not white, or some part of the body not white, etc.). Therefore, selection of white raccoon dogs should focus on coat color, fur quality and body shape, and males in particular should be selected even more carefully.
For mating, white raccoon dogs should preferably be mated with wild-type coat color raccoon dogs, and mating between white raccoon dogs is not advisable. White raccoon dogs generally have the shortcoming of thick, long guard hairs; the wild-type raccoon dogs chosen for mating should preferably have short and dense guard hairs, so as to correct the shortcomings of the white raccoon dog.
