ʻO Snow-shu (English snowshoe cat) kahi lūlū o nā pōpoki kūloko, nona ka inoa mai ka huaʻōlelo Pelekane i unuhi ʻia ma ke ʻano he "kāmaʻa hau", a loaʻa no ke kala o nā wāwae. Ke komo nei lākou i nā kākini keʻokeʻo hau.
Eia nō naʻe, no ka paʻakikī o ka genetics, paʻakikī loa e hoʻokō i ka shoo hau piha, a ʻaʻole ʻike pinepine ʻia lākou ma ka mākeke.
Mōʻaukala o ka lāhui
I nā makahiki 1960 mua, ua ʻike ʻia ka mea hānai Siamese ʻo Dorothy Hinds-Daugherty ma Piladelapia i mau keiki keiki ʻē aʻe i ka ʻānai o ka pōpoki Siamese maʻamau. Ua like lākou me nā pōpoki Siamese, me ko lākou kiko kala, akā ʻehā mau kākini keʻokeʻo ma ko lākou mau wāwae.
Ua weliweli ka hapa nui o nā mea hānai e ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua manaʻo ʻia kēia he male maemae, akā ua pīhoihoi ʻo Dorothy iā lākou. Ma muli o ka hana hou ʻole ʻana o nā ulia pōpilikia hauʻoli, a aloha aku ʻo ia i ke ʻano o kēia mau keiki keiki, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e hoʻomaka e hana i ka lāhui.
No kēia, ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i nā pōpoki sila Siamese a me nā pōpoki bicolor ʻAmelika Shorthair. Ua nele nā keiki i kā lākou mau helu, a laila lawe hou ʻia mai me nā pōpoki Siamese, ua loaʻa ke ʻano i makemake ʻia. Ua kapa aku ʻo Dorothy i ka inoa hou "Snow Shoe", ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania "Snowshoe", ma muli o nā paws e like me nā pōpoki i hele wale i ka hau.
Ke hoʻomau nei e hānai iā lākou me nā Shorthairs ʻAmelika, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi koho kala i loaʻa i kahi kiko keʻokeʻo ma ka maka, ma ke ʻano o V i hoʻohuli ʻia, e pili ana i ka ihu a me ke alahaka o ka ihu. Ua komo pū ʻo ia me lākou i nā hōʻike pōpoki kūloko, ʻoiai he ʻano hau-shou ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike ʻia ma nā wahi āpau.
Akā ua lohi ka lilo o kāna hoihoi iā lākou, a ʻo Vikki Olander, mai Norfolk, Virginia, i lawe i ka ulu o ka lāhui. Ua kākau ʻo ia i ke kūlana laha, ua ʻumeʻume i nā mea hānai ʻē aʻe, a ua kū i ke kūlana hoʻokolohua me ka CFF a me ka American Cat Association (ACA) ma 1974.
Akā, e ka 1977, noho hoʻokahi ʻo ia, ʻo ka mea i haʻalele hoʻokahi iā ia, huhū ʻia e nā hoʻāʻo kūleʻa ʻole e kiʻi i nā pōpoki e kū i ke kūlana. Ma hope o kahi hakakā he ʻekolu mau makahiki no ka wā e hiki mai ana, ua mākaukau ʻo Olander e hāʻawi pio.
A laila hiki mai ke kōkua i manaʻo ʻole ʻia. ʻO Jim Hoffman lāua ʻo Jordia Kuhnell, no Ohio, e hoʻokaʻaʻike iā CFF a nīnau no ka ʻike e pili ana i nā mea hoʻohua hau. I kēlā manawa, hoʻokahi wale nō Olander i koe.
Kōkua lākou iā ia a hoʻolimalima i mau mea kōkua e hana hou i ka lāhui. I ka 1989, ua haʻalele ʻo Olander iā lākou, no ka ʻaihue i nā pōpoki, i loaʻa i kāna wahine hoʻopalau, akā ma kahi o kāna mau loea hou i hele mai i ka hui.
ʻO ka hope loa, ua uku ʻia ka hoʻomau ʻana. Hāʻawi ʻo CFF i ke kūlana poʻokela i ka makahiki 1982, a me TICA i ka makahiki 1993. I kēia manawa ua ʻike ʻia e nā hui nui āpau i United States, me CFA a me CCA wale nō.
Ke hoʻomau nei ka hana a nā nursery e loaʻa ai ke kūlana champion i kēia mau ʻoihana. Hoʻomaopopo piha ʻia lākou e ka Fédération Internationale Féline, ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa o Cat Cat, a me ka Cat Fanciers Federation.
Wehewehe
Koho ʻia kēia mau pōpoki e kēlā poʻe makemake i ka pōpoki Siamese, akā ʻaʻole makemake i ka lahilahi a me ke ʻano o ke poʻo o ka Siamese hou, ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻoi loa. I ka manawa i puka mua mai ai kēia ʻano, ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa ia mai ka pōpoki i kēia manawa. A ua hoʻomau ʻo ia i kona ʻike.
ʻO ka Snow Shoe kahi ʻano pōpoki liʻiliʻi me ka kino e hoʻohui i ka stockiness o ka American Shorthair a me ka lōʻihi o ka Siamese.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku kēia o ka mea holo marathon ma mua o ka mea kau kaupaona, me ke kino o ka lōʻihi waena, paʻakikī a muscular, akā ʻaʻole momona. ʻO nā pā ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi, me nā iwi lahilahi, ma ke kaulike o ke kino. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi, ʻoi aku ka mānoanoa ma ke kumu, a me nā lepe i ka hopena.
ʻO ke poʻo i ke ʻano o kahi wedge i ʻoki ʻia, me nā cheekbones i haʻi ʻia a me kahi ʻaʻa nani.
ʻAneʻane like ia i ka laulā i ke kiʻekiʻe a like me ka triangle kaulike. ʻAʻole ākea a ʻaʻohe huinahā ka waha, ʻaʻole hoʻi pelu.
Kūlike nā pepeiao i ka nui, maʻalahi, poepoe iki ma nā kihi a ākea ma ke kumu.
ʻAʻole makaʻu nā maka, polū, hoʻonohonoho ākea.
Pālei ka ʻahu, pōkole a semi-lōʻihi paha, pili pono i ke kino, me ka ʻole o ka undercoat. ʻO nā kala, like ka hau-shou me ʻelua mau hau hau, ʻaʻole like ke ʻano.
Eia nō naʻe, he mea nui ka waihoʻoluʻu a me ke kala a me ke kino kūlike. I ka hapanui o nā hui, paʻa loa nā kūlana. ʻO kahi pōpoki kūpono me nā kiko i kau ʻia ma nā pepeiao, ka huelo, nā pepeiao a me nā maka.
Uhi ka pale maka i ka waha holoʻokoʻa a koe nā wahi keʻokeʻo. ʻO nā wahi keʻokeʻo kahi "V" i hoʻohuli ʻia ma ka waha, e uhi ana i ka ihu a me ke alahaka o ka ihu (i kekahi manawa e hoʻonui ana i ka umauma), a me nā "manamana wāwae" keʻokeʻo ma nā wāwae ".
Aia ke kala o nā kiko i ka hui. I ka hapanui, ʻae ʻia ka lae sila a me ka kiko polū wale nō, ʻoiai e ʻae ʻia i ka kokoleka, ka poni, ka fawn, ka kirima a me nā mea ʻē aʻe ʻē aʻe.
Kaupaona nā pōpoki makua mai 4 a 5.5 kg, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā pōpoki a kaupaona ʻia mai 3 a 4.5 kg. I ka hapanui o nā hihia, ʻae ʻia ka outcrossing me Shorthair ʻAmelika a me nā pōpoki Siamese, ʻoiai ka hapanui o nā pōpoki e hōʻalo i nā pōpoki ʻAmelika.
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka pōpoki Thai no kēia mau kumuhana, ʻoiai ke ʻano o ke kino a me ke kala i kokoke loa i ka hau-shou ma mua o ka pōpoki Siamese nui loa.
ʻAno
ʻO nā snowshoes i nele i ka nani ma mua o ka hōʻike ʻana i ka papa (keʻokeʻo loa, liʻiliʻi, a i nā wahi kūpono ʻole) he mau holoholona maikaʻi.
Hauʻoli nā mea nona ka hana maikaʻi i hoʻoili ʻia mai ka American Shorthair a me ka leo leo o nā pōpoki Siamese. ʻO kēia nā pōpoki hana e makemake e piʻi i kahi kiʻekiʻe e nānā i nā mea āpau mai laila.
ʻ saylelo nā mea ʻona he akamai loa lākou, a maʻalahi hoʻi e hoʻomaopopo pehea e wehe ai i kahi keʻena, puka, a i kekahi manawa ʻo ka pahu hau. E like me ka poʻe Siamese, makemake lākou e lawe mai i kā lākou mau mea pāʻani naʻu e hāʻule a hoʻihoʻi mai lākou.
Aloha pū lākou i ka wai, keu hoʻi i ka wai kahe. A inā ua nele ʻoe i kekahi mea, e nānā mua i ka poho, kou wahi punahele e hūnā ai i nā mea. ʻO ka poʻe Faucets, ma ka laulaha, hoihoi loa iā lākou, a noi paha lākou iā ʻoe e huli i ka wai i kēlā me kēia manawa ke komo ʻoe i ka lumi kuke.
ʻO Snow shou ka poʻe a me ka ʻohana loa. ʻO kēia mau pōpoki me nā paws keʻokeʻo ma lalo o kou mau wāwae no ʻoe e hāʻawi iā lākou i ka nānā a me ka holoholona, a ʻaʻole hele i kāu ʻoihana.
Ke inaina nei lākou i ka loneli, a e namunamu inā ʻoe e haʻalele iā lākou no kahi manawa lōʻihi. ʻOiai ʻaʻole nui a koʻikoʻi e like me ka Siamese maʻamau, ʻaʻole lākou e poina e hoʻomanaʻo iā lākou iho e hoʻohana ana i kahi meow i huki ʻia. Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka mālie o ko lākou leo a melodic hou, a ʻoluʻolu ke kani.
Nā hopena
ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka maʻalahi a me ke kino ikaika, nā kiko, nā kākini keʻokeʻo maikaʻi a me kahi kiko keʻokeʻo ma ka waha (kekahi) e hana iā lākou i mau pōpoki kūikawā a makemake ʻia. Akā, he hui kū hoʻokahi o nā kumu i hoʻolilo iā ia i kekahi o nā ʻano paʻakikī paʻakikī e hoʻohua a loaʻa nā holoholona kiʻekiʻe.
Ma muli o kēia, noho kaʻawale lākou a hala nā makahiki he nui ma hope o ko lākou hānau ʻana. ʻEkolu mau mea e hana i ka snow shoo i kahi hana koʻikoʻi: ʻo ke keʻokeʻo kiko keʻokeʻo (pane nui ka ʻāpana nui); ke kala acromelanic (he kuleana ko ka ʻaoʻao recessive) a me ke ʻano o ke poʻo a me ke kino.
Eia kekahi, ʻo ke kumu no nā kiko keʻokeʻo ka mea hiki ʻole ke ʻike ʻole ʻia ma hope o nā makahiki o ke koho ʻana. Inā hoʻoilina ka pōpoki i kahi ʻāpana nui mai nā mākua ʻelua, ʻoi aku kona keʻokeʻo ma mua o ka hala ʻana o hoʻokahi makua ma ka ʻāpana.
Eia nō naʻe, hiki i nā genes ʻē aʻe ke hoʻopili i ka nui a me ka nui o ke keʻokeʻo, no laila paʻakikī ka hopena i ka mālama a hiki ʻole ke wānana. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē, paʻakikī e kiʻi i nā kiko keʻokeʻo ma nā wahi kūpono a me nā helu kūpono.
Hoʻohui i ʻelua mau kumu hou aʻe i kēlā, a loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi cocktail genetics me nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole.
