海外「大谷ルームで試合観戦のデコピンに出会った」

As soon as Shohei Otani talks about dogs, they become trendy on social media.

The DIGEST said, “World baseball fans want to know the name of Shohei’s dog at the league MVP award-winning press conference, with Kyle Kraska, a reporter for the local media Fox 11 Los Angeles, saying, “One question per company.” Could you please announce it here?” Otani’s dog’s name has been revealed properly.

The DIGEST also reports that The WALL STREET JOURNAL, the world’s largest long-established U.S. economic newspaper, “Shohay Otani has just signed a $700 million contract, but many fans only want to talk about his dog, Decoy.”

Animal lovers and Otani’s fans are concerned about the existence of Decopin-chan. Some people will become fans of Otani through Decopin-chan. It’s a good thing that Decopin-chan will become popular, but I’m worried about him as a veterinarian. Decopin-chan is one of the few dogs in the world called Koikelhondier. There are many Golden Retriever that Otani kept at his parents’ house all over the world, but that’s a big difference.

What kind of dog is Koikelhondier?
Koikelhondier is a dog native to the Netherlands that was used for duck hunting. Prior to the invention of guns, nets were used in duck hunting, and it was the dog’s job to lure birds before they were shot.

However, by the end of World War II, most of the Koikelhondiers had been wiped out and are said to have fallen to five in the world at one time.

Although it is now increasing little by little thanks to the efforts of enthusiasts, it is still a very rare breed of dog outside its home country of Holland. It doesn’t seem to be very common in the United States. Incidentally, in Japan, the number of JKC registered was six in 1999, and in recent years it has increased to around 100

Thus, the few dogs in the world are prone to inbreeding. There is a possibility that genetic diseases will occur if you crossbreed closely. Let’s think about that.
