1949, the China army began to establish a military dog breeding and training institution, which was originally built in Beijing. In 1950s, they were divided into two military dog teams and moved to Heilongjiang and Kunming. By the early 1960s, military dog teams had been established in all major military regions, and a large number of military dogs were bred and trained, which played an important role in national defense construction.

In the mid-1980s, military dogs were re-valued, and the cause of military dogs in China began to revive. Military dog training bases have been established in major military regions, navies, air forces, General Logistics Department, General Armament Department and Armed Police. The whole army can breed and train more than 2,000 military dogs every year and send them to the army. Most of the frontier defense companies, military warehouses, special police units and security departments use military dogs, and the key warehouses of the whole army have basically realized the use of dogs to assist sentry posts. Today, nearly 10,000 military dogs have served in the army and become a military force with special functions.

Where military dogs go after retirement.

First send them to a unified military dog pension base or local pension base to spend their "old age"

Many people find it incredible that dogs have nursing homes? These dogs are not ordinary dogs. They have devoted their lives to our army, so they deserve it.

Second, stay in the original army for life.

Many dogs spend most of their lives in the army. Here are their most familiar comrades. They didn't want to leave, and the soldiers didn't want to leave the military dogs, so they stayed in the original army, but they didn't have to perform any more tasks and lived like ordinary dogs.

Third, be adopted by others.

The adoption of military dogs should be considered clearly. First of all, they all have military status. If you want to adopt them, you must first go through the examination of the army and go through many procedures. Military dogs serve all the year round, leaving injuries after retirement. People who adopt military dogs must take good care of their daily lives and have regular physical examinations. So generally speaking, those who adopt military dogs are retired military dog trainers.

In addition, the daily food expenses of military dogs are not low. It is said that the daily food cost of military dogs is only 20 yuan, but the daily food cost of military dogs is not less than 150 yuan, and the salary may not be enough for the general population.
