He laha ka laha o nā pōpoki Nibelung (English Nebelung) a ʻaʻole maʻalahi e kūʻai aku, ʻoiai he mea pōpoki polū Lūkini lauoho lōʻihi. ʻO ka inoa o ka lāhui mai ka huaʻōlelo Kelemania ʻo Nebel, ʻo ia hoʻi ka noe, a me ka saga Kelemania medieval, ʻo Nibelungenlied, a unuhi ʻia ma ke ʻano he keiki o ka noe, kahi noho o ka noe. Malia paha, ua koho ʻia pēlā no ke kala o ka ʻahu, polū-hina, hoʻomanaʻo i ka noe.
Mōʻaukala o ka lāhui
ʻO nā mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka lāhui ka pōpoki Siegfried (1984) a me ka pōpoki Brünnhilde (1985). ʻO Cora Cobb, ka haku wahine o Siegfried lāua ʻo Brunhilde, i kaʻi ʻia e ka nani o kēia mau pōpoki, ua like ko lāua ʻano me ka polū Lūkia, akā ʻaʻole like me ka mea hope, lōʻihi ko lāua lauoho.
I ʻike ai inā hiki ke loaʻa kahi lāhui hou mai iā lākou, ua huli ʻo ia i nā genologist o ka American Cat Association. ʻO ka genististist o ka hui, ʻo Kauka Solvay Vlyuger, i ʻōlelo ʻoi aku ka nui o ka polū Lūkini semi-lōʻihi.
Me ke kōkua o ke kauka, ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻo Cora Cobb i kahi kūlana laha e kūlike me ka hae polū Lūkia, koe wale no ka lōʻihi o ka ʻahu. Kūʻē nā lālā o ka Hui TICA (Russian Blue Breeders), me ka hopena i hoʻoponopono hou ʻia ka hae e hāʻawi i kahi hiʻohiʻona kūlike, e hoʻomanaʻo ana i nā pōpoki kū hoʻokahi i lawe ʻia mai mai Lūkia i ka mua o 20 a me ka hopena o 19 mau kenekulia.
ʻO TICA ka hui mua i ʻike i kahi lūlū hou o nā pōpoki, a lawe i nā kūlana Nibelungian, ma 1987, a ma 1993 ua ʻike ʻia e ka TCA.
He ʻōpiopio loa ka lāhui, a hānai ʻia nā Nibelungs ma USA, Kanada, Russia a me nā ʻāina ʻEulopa. Ua ʻike ʻia ka lāhui e ka American Cat Fanciers Association (ACFA), World Cat Federation, Livre Officiel des Origines Félines (LOOF), a me nā hui kūʻokoʻa o Holland, Pelekiuma, Kelemania a me Lūkia. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole pili kēia i ka loaʻa, kākaʻikahi ka pōpoki.
Hōʻike o ka lāhui
He holoholona lōhiu lākou, muscular. Inā hiki iā ʻoe ke wehewehe iā lākou i hoʻokahi huaʻōlelo, a laila - lōʻihi kēia huaʻōlelo.
ʻO ka manaʻo maʻamau iā ia ʻo ia he pōpoki lōʻihi me kahi kūkulu hanohano. ʻAʻole pono lākou e lahilahi a lōʻihi ka wāwae a mānoanoa a me ka wāwae pōkole.
ʻO nā pā o ka lōʻihi waena, e pau ana i nā pale oval, ulu nā lauoho ma waena o nā manamana wāwae. Lōʻihi ka huelo, e like me ka lōʻihi o ke kino.
Kaupaona ʻia nā pōpoki makua mai 4 a 5 kg, nā pōpoki mai 3 a 4 kg. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka lōʻihi o ke ola ma kahi o 16 mau makahiki.
He poʻo i hoʻololi ʻia ke poʻo, ma ke kaulike o ke kino, ʻoi aku ka pōʻai ma mua o ke kiko, ʻoiai hiki i nā lauoho lōʻihi ke hāʻawi iā ia i kahi hiʻohiʻona. Nui nā pepeiao, kuhi a hoʻonohonoho i nā kihi o ke poʻo.
Kūlike nā maka i ka nui, oval i ke ʻano. Huli ʻōmaʻomaʻo ko lākou kala i ka wā i hiki ai ka pōpoki i ke oʻo, i ka maʻamau ma 2 mau makahiki. ʻOi aku ka momona o ke kala, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ʻoiai ʻae ʻia kahi admixture o ka melemele.
ʻO ka mea kūikawā o ka lākeke ka lole: lōʻihi, silky, hina hina. ʻO ka lole palupalu ke silky i ka hoʻopā, he hina nani me ka sheen silena.
ʻAe ʻia kēia kala, me ka ʻole o nā kiko a me nā kaha. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka lauoho ma ka huelo ma mua o ke kino, a ulu ka hulu mai nā pepeiao a ma waena o nā manamana wāwae.
Loaʻa iā ia kahi kapa kumu a me ka undercoat wai-repeal. Aia nā pālule ma nā wāwae o ka hope, kahi hulu ma ka huelo.
Loaʻa i nā pōpoki kahi mane i haʻi ʻia, aia nā pōpoki iā ia, i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia. Hiki i nā pōpoki ka lōʻihi loa o kā lākou fluffiness, i ka makahiki o ʻelua mau makahiki paha.
ʻAno
ʻO nā Nibelungs he nani, pāʻani, pōpoki akamai me ke ʻano maikaʻi. ʻAʻole ʻae kahi ʻano akahai a me kahi leo mālie iā ʻoe e hōʻike i ka noʻonoʻo holoʻokoʻa, i ʻike pinepine ʻia i nā pōpoki o kēia ʻano. ʻOiai ʻo kēia mau pōpoki ʻeleu, hiki iā lākou ke noho maikaʻi i kahi keʻena maʻamau, ʻoiai ke kūpaʻa lākou i ko lākou ʻohana, a noho mamao aku i nā malihini. Koho lākou i kā lākou mea aloha i hoʻokahi manawa a no ka manawa āpau, a noho paʻa iā lākou i ka make.
Pili lākou, a hāʻawi i nā pilikia i nā mea nona, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā pilikia ma muli o kā lākou koi i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe o ka pā a i ʻole ke ʻano o ka hānai. Akā ʻo ka hapanui o nā mea ʻona e ʻike i ko lākou kūpaʻa, e like me ka ʻīlio.
Makemake lākou e noho ma ko lākou mau kuli, aloha i ka hahau ʻana, a aloha e hāhai i kā lākou haku aloha ma nā kuʻekuʻe wāwae. Hoʻolālā lākou i ka luhi a me ka hana maʻamau, maʻalahi i nā loli i ka home a me ka ʻohana.
ʻAʻole makemake nā Nibelungs i ka maʻi, hoʻololi o ke kaiapuni, ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā ʻano pōpoki ʻē aʻe. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopili i nā loli a me nā hanana hou, e ʻoi aku ka nui o ka manawa ma mua o nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe.
Hoʻokomo ʻia lākou e nā leo nui, ʻo kēia kekahi o nā kumu i koi ʻole ʻia ai lākou e mālama ʻia i nā ʻohana me nā keiki liʻiliʻi. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa lākou i nā ʻīlio aloha inā hoʻolauna pono a hāʻawi ʻia i manawa e maʻa ai.
A launa pū me nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe, ma lalo o nā kūlana like. ʻO ka manawa a me ke ahonui ka mea e pono ai ke hoʻololi i ka mālama ʻana o kēia mau pōpoki.
Mālama a mālama
ʻO ka ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o Nibelungs a me nā blues Lūkia ka lōʻihi o ke kapa, akā inā ʻaʻole like nā kūlana. Inā pōkole a paʻa ka lole polū Lūkia, akā ʻo nā pōpoki he lōʻihi waena, silky me ka undercoat mānoanoa.
ʻOiai me ka undercoat mānoanoa, ʻaʻole pili iki kā lākou ʻahu, a no ke kāhiko ʻana ua lawa ia e kāhili iā ia i hoʻokahi manawa i ka pule.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ke kala o ka ʻahuʻula kekahi o nā ʻano nui o kēia laha, no laila e mālama pono iā ia he mea nui loa, e hoʻāʻo e pale i ka pale mai ka mae ʻana o ka lā a hoʻololi ʻole i kona kala.
He mea nui ka maʻemaʻe o ka pahu ʻōpala e like me ka maʻalahi o kēia mau pōpoki i ka pilau a hōʻole paha e hele i kahi pahu ʻōpala lepo.
Kākaʻikahi kēia ʻano a paʻakikī hoʻi e kūʻai no ka mea mālama ʻia ka nui o nā ʻīlio loloa no ka hoʻoulu ʻana inā ʻaʻohe o lākou kīnā e hiki ʻole ai ke hoʻohana. Hōʻike kokoke ʻia ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā pōpoki papa i nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe a i ʻole nā mea hānai ʻike.
Eia nō naʻe, no ka mea, keʻa pinepine ʻia lākou me kahi pōpoki polū Lūkia (e hoʻonui i ka punawai wai), ʻike ʻia nā keiki keiki me nā lauoho pokole mai ia mau keʻa.
Ke kāwili ʻia kahi Nibelung lauoho lōʻihi me ka polū Lūkini lauoho lauoho, a laila e pōkole ka lauoho o nā keiki āpau, akā i ka manawa like o nā mea lawe o ka ʻāpana lauoho lōʻihi.
Waiho ʻia kekahi o lākou no ka hoʻoulu hou ʻana, keu hoʻi inā he kino maikaʻi a kino hoʻi ko lākou. Ma muli o ke kuleana o kēia mau keiki kipi no ka lauoho lōʻihi, a laila i ka wā i male ʻia ai me Nibelungs, a hiki i ka 50% o ka ʻōpala e lōʻihi ka lauoho.
Akā nō naʻe, kūʻai ʻia ka hapanui o kēia mau keiki keiki a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi a me ka maʻalahi o ka loaʻa ʻana iā lākou. ʻO kēia mau kittens pōkole e like me nā polū Lūkia akā he palupalu, a maʻalahi ʻole ke ʻano Nibelungian. Ma muli o ko lākou kūlike me ka polū Lūkia, e hoʻoilina lākou i nā ʻano ʻano maʻi.
ʻO ka Nibelungen he ʻano olakino maikaʻi, paʻakikī a ola lōʻihi. ʻAʻole ona hoʻoilina hoʻoilina hoʻoilina e like me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe. Akā, he mea nui e aʻo i nā keiki e kamaʻilio me nā poʻe, ʻoiai he hilahila a makaʻu hoʻi.
Kūʻai i nā pōpoki i hōʻike ʻia kahi e aʻo ʻia ai nā keiki keiki e launa a kamaʻilio. E noʻonoʻo e kamaʻilio pū me ka mea ʻona a pāʻani me nā keiki e ʻike pehea lākou i ka hopena o ke kanaka.
