The Institute of Special Animal and Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences used the mutant white gene found in the wild coat color (common color type) and, after 16 years of research, finally succeeded in breeding our existing new color type white raccoon dog, the Jilin white raccoon dog. In terms of phenotype, the new color type white raccoon dog has two forms: one retains the wild-type coat color only around the eye rims, ear edges, nose tip, claws 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, reproductive capacity and so on; they are docile in temperament, prone to obesity and relatively heavy in body weight.

The coat color of both white raccoon dogs is appealing, and the fur they produce is much favored by domestic and foreign buyers, with selling prices higher than those of wild-type coat color fur.

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 produces a lethal gene overlap phenomenon that leads to low output and affects farming profits, so they should be crossbred between white raccoon dogs and ordinary Ussuri raccoon dogs, so that the survival rate of the offspring will be higher.

Looking at the current farming market, it should be said that raccoon dog farming is currently one of the most profitable varieties in the 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 we can reach an answer. The first white raccoon dog in China was discovered in 1974, and in 1980 white raccoon dogs bred among farmers were again discovered in the Heilongjiang area. The Institute of Special Animal and Plant Sciences of the 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 our country's existing new color type white raccoon dog. That is to say, the farming history of the white raccoon dog in China is only about 10 years, and its value has only become apparent since early 2005, with very broad farming prospects and strong demand.
