Hoʻonāukiuki mau nā ʻano laha a exotic hoʻi o ka ʻīlio i ka hoihoi a me ka makemake e ʻike ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana mana. I kekahi manawa kamaʻilio ka hiʻohiʻona o ka holoholona nona iho - he ʻīlio kēia o ke koko hanohano maoli a me ka ʻike kūlohelohe. o kahi laʻana, ʻĪlio leopadi Catahula (Ke ʻīlio leopadi ʻo Catahoula) he ʻīlio ʻimi holoholona ʻo ia mai ka parish o Catahoula Louisiana ma USA.
Kona inoa lua ʻO Dog Dog Leopard ʻo Catahula Louisiana... ʻO ka huaʻōlelo ʻo "Catahula" i ke ʻano o ka "hopu holoholona ma kai" mai ka ʻōlelo kūloko o nā Indians. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo Leopardova ma muli o nā kiko o kona kino. Kapa ʻia ʻo ia i kekahi manawa ʻo Catahoula Hog Dog (Catahoula Hog Dog), e hōʻike ana i ka hoʻohana kuʻuna o kēia mau ʻīlio i ka hopu puaʻa.
Hōʻike a me nā hiʻohiʻona
ʻO ka ʻīlio leopadi Catahula (ma kēia catahula) hana i ka manaʻo o kahi holoholona dexterous a paʻakikī. Kū waena lākou i ka nui (e pili ana i ka laina hānau). ʻAʻole pono keu keu i ke kiʻi, ʻaʻole hoʻi ke kaumaha a me ka nui o ka māmā.
Kaha, ʻano lōkahi a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi ke ʻano. Ma ke ala, loiloi ʻia ka helehelena o ka ʻīlio e pili ana i ka hopena o kāna ʻano hana. Ua hānai ʻia ʻo ia no kona ʻano a me kona mau hiki ma mua o kona helehelena. No laila, hiki ke loli ka nui o kēia mau ʻīlio, me nā keikikāne i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā kaikamahine.
ʻO ka ulu ʻana ma kahi o 51 a 66 cm, ke kaumaha mai 18 a 51 kg. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka ʻīlio pelu pololei ma mua o ke kiʻekiʻe. Ikaika ka pali, ua kīkē iki ka malo. Pālahalaha iki ka umauma, hāliʻiliʻi iki ka croup. Nui ke poʻo, akā ʻaʻole nui, e like me ka nui o ke kino. Ikaika nā iwi ā, me ka nahu o ka ʻokiʻoki.
Pono ke kapaʻahuʻula e pōkole i ke kaulike i ka lōʻihi a palupalu paha i ka paʻi a me ke ala. Single, ʻaʻohe undercoat, kokoke i ke kino. Ke wehewehe nei i ka hiʻohiʻona o ka catahula, e nānā pono i nā maka. Ke nānā aku nei iā lākou he mea kupaianaha. Ke mesmerizing a me ka hau lākou.
ʻO nā maka kekahi o nā mea hoihoi loa o kēia laha. Hiki i ko lākou kala ke aka o ka "cracked glass" a i ʻole "aniani marble". Hana kēia me heterochromia (nā maka o nā kala ʻokoʻa a i ʻole nā kala ʻokoʻa o nā ʻāpana like ʻole o ka iris i hoʻokahi maka).
ʻO ke aniani o Catahula a i ʻole nā polū keʻokeʻo ʻāwī a i ʻole nā maka kinikini e kapa pinepine ʻia ʻo "nā maka aniani ʻelua." Hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa nā wahi ʻeleʻele a māmā hoʻi. Aia kekahi mahele i ka hapalua ma kekahi iris - ka hapalua o kekahi kala, ka hapalua o kekahi. I kekahi manawa aia wale nō kahi kahakaha a i ʻole kahi o ke kala ʻokoʻa.
ʻO nā maka hina, no ka laʻana, māka ʻia me nā wahi polū a me nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo e hana i ka hina. Hiki i nā maka ke ʻano like, a i ʻole ʻelua mau maka ʻokoʻa. Ma ke ʻano laulā, kahi ʻano o ke kiʻi mosaic ʻaʻole hiki ke wānana ʻia i nā manawa āpau. ʻAʻohe kūlana kikoʻī, hiki ke hina, ʻōmaʻomaʻo, uliuli, ʻalani polū, amber, nā kala ʻeleʻele i nā hui like ʻole.
Lōʻihi pinepine ka huelo a hiki i nā hock. I kekahi manawa, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē, hiki ke lilo i kahi ʻano bobtail pōkole (ʻo ka lōʻihi mai hoʻokahi a ʻekolu paha vertebrae i ka lōʻihi holoʻokoʻa). Hoʻopili pinepine ka mea lōʻihi ma ka lalo i ke ʻano o kahi māka nīnau - kahi hiʻohiona ʻokoʻa o ka huelo o ka catahula. Aia kekahi kiko keʻokeʻo ma ka huelo. ʻO nā huelo pōkole ka hoʻoilina hoʻoilina o ka laha a kākaʻikahi loa ia.
He wīwī nā wāwae o ka catahula, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi, a he membrane i haʻi ʻia ma waena o nā manamana wāwae. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi iā lākou e alualu i ka poho a hiki ke ʻauʻau maikaʻi. ʻO ka ʻīlio leopadi Catahula i kiʻi ʻia uʻi loa. Ka lokomaikaʻi, ka hanohano maoli, ke kala nani a me nā maka aniani ʻokoʻa - hana kēia āpau i mea hoʻomanaʻo a makemake ʻia ka lāhui.
Nā ʻano
Hele mai ʻo Catahoulas i nā kala like ʻole e like me ka merle blue, merle red, brindle, a me nā kala paʻa. Merle - hulu hipa me ke kala kaulike ʻole i ke ʻano o nā wahi pouli a māmā o ke kala like. ʻO ka hopena he nānā "marble". I kekahi manawa "kāpīpī" ʻia kahi waihoʻoluʻu paʻa loa me nā kiko o nā kala ʻē aʻe, e laʻa me nā kiko keʻokeʻo ma ka umauma, ma nā wāwae a i ʻole ke alo.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka gen "merle" ke kuleana no ke kala "leopadi" o ka ʻīlio. Eia kekahi, ke haʻi ʻia nei ʻaʻole ia ma kaʻaʻahu holoʻokoʻa, akā i kekahi mau wahi. E hōʻike aku mākou iā ʻoe i nā kala i makemake nui ʻia o ka ʻīlio Catahula, ʻoiai mākou e ʻōlelo hou nei ʻaʻole ke kala o ke kala o ke kapa i ke koho ʻana i kahi ʻīlio, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopili i kona maikaʻi ma kekahi ʻano.
- Leopadi ʻulaʻula - nā ʻano ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele, i kekahi manawa e ʻike ʻia nā kiko keʻokeʻo liʻiliʻi. ʻIke ʻia ʻo "ʻulaʻula merle".
- Leopadi polū - nā lau ʻokoʻa o ka hina, mai ke kukui a i ka ʻeleʻele, i kekahi manawa aia nā wahi keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo. ʻIke ʻia ʻo "merle blue".
- Leopadi ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele paha - ka mea liʻiliʻi maʻalahi ʻia i ka ʻāpana "merle", akā he mau kiko uliuli a hina paha kā.
- Leopadi hina a kālā paha - leopadi uliuli, kahi i hoʻoliʻiliʻi i ʻeleʻele i hina. ʻIke ʻia ʻo "merle shale".
- Tricolor - maʻa mau ʻekolu mau kala - ʻeleʻele, hina, keʻokeʻo.
- Lau ʻehā a ʻelima kala paha - nā ʻīlio me nā kala ʻokoʻa, brown a polū o nā aka ʻokoʻa i hoʻohui ʻia i nā kala nui ʻekolu.
- Patchwork - ʻO nā ʻīlio keʻokeʻo ma mua loa me kahi liʻiliʻi o nā kiko merle ma ke kapa āpau. Hiki iā lākou ke ʻeleʻele a i ʻole ʻeleʻele. Inā hoʻomau ʻoe i ka hoʻoulu ʻana i kēia mau merles, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokō i ke kala hina, polū, ʻulaʻula a i ʻole ke ake kala i loko o lākou.
Ma waho o nā kala, kūpono ia e ʻōlelo e pili ana i nā laina hānau o kēia lānai, kahi e hilinaʻi ai ka nui o nā ʻīlio o kēia ʻano. ʻEkolu mau laina like:
- Laina Wright - ka laina nui loa o catahoulas, ke kaumaha nei mai 40 a 50 kg, i hoʻomohala ʻia e Perston Wright. ʻO kēia laina ka mea i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i hana ʻia mai nā ʻīlio i hōʻea mai mai Hernando de Soto (16th kenekulia Paniolo lanakila, lanakila o ka Honua Hou).
- Laina Fairbanks - aʻe ma ka nui, ke kaupaona 30-35 kg. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia e Mr. Lavi Fairnbanks. ʻO lākou nā ʻano melemele like ʻole, e like me ka brindle.
- Ke laina McMillin... ʻO kēia catahula maka aniani uliuli, e ana ana ma kahi o 25kg, i hoʻolālā ʻia e Mr. McMillin o Sandy Lake, Louisiana.
ʻO kēia mau laina ʻekolu nā kūpuna o nā ʻano like ʻole o ka catahula i ʻike ʻia i kēia lā.
Mōʻaukala o ka lāhui
ʻAʻole maopopo ke kumu o ka ʻīlio leopadi Catahula. A e like me ka mau i kēlā mau hanana, nui nā manaʻo. Keʻaʻa nei ka mea mua ʻĪlio Molossian (nā kānaka nunui i Molossia, kahi o Epirus kahiko) a me nā greyhounds, i hōʻike ʻia ma Louisiana a me nā Sepania i ka kenekulia 16.
ʻO ka lua o ke kumumanaʻo i ʻike ʻia ka hānau ma hope, i ka 19 kenekulia, ma hope o ka hoʻolauna ʻana o ka Farani kekele (Nā ʻīlio kahu hānai Palani, kahi lā kahiko a laha ʻole hoʻi) i ʻAmelika. A me ka laha ʻīlio leopadi me he mea lā mai ka hele ʻana i ka beauceron a me nā ʻīlio ʻulaʻula. ʻOiai ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomaopopo iki ʻia, ma hope o nā mea āpau, kokoke i ka manawa like, ua ʻike mua ka Palani i nā ʻīlio ʻano ʻē me nā maka aniani, aniani, i hoʻohana ʻia e nā Indians e ʻimi holoholona hihiu i ka poho.
Ke koi nei ke kolu o ke kumumanaʻo no ka hopena o ke keʻa ʻana i nā ʻīlio ʻōiwi o nā Indians kūloko nā ʻīlio ʻulaʻula (kahi hānai o ka ʻīlio hae ʻeleʻele a me kahi coyote, nā ʻōiwi o ʻAmelika, i nalowale pono a helu ʻia i ka Red Book). Akā ʻaʻole kākoʻo ʻia kēia kumumanaʻo e ke kālailai DNA o kēia au.
E like me ia, i ka makahiki 1979 ua hoʻolaha ke aupuni Louisiana iā ia ka hōʻailona mokuʻāina kūhelu i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka mea nui o kēia ʻano i ka moʻolelo o ka mokuʻāina. Hoʻomanaʻo ka ʻīlio o "aliʻi Louisiana" i ka pōmaikaʻi o kēia mokuʻāina.
ʻAno
Akamai a ikaika hoʻi ʻo Catahouls. Kūpaʻa lākou a kūpaʻa hoʻi, kamaʻilio, akā ʻaʻole komo i loko, hana a pāʻani hoʻi. I ka manawa like, akamai a kaulike lākou. Eia kekahi, hoihoi lākou, kūʻokoʻa, aloha a akahai. ʻO Catahula leopadi ʻīlio pilikino hiki ke wehewehe ʻia e ka huaʻōlelo: hoʻokaʻawale ʻokoʻa ia i ka poʻe i "mākou" a me "nā malihini".
I kekahi manawa e hōʻike i ka hoʻomanawanui a me kekahi huhū i nā malihini a me nā ʻīlio ʻē aʻe. Maliʻa paha e huki hope ʻia ka catahula i ka hālāwai mua, akā ʻaʻole ia e hōʻike i ka wiwo ʻole. I kekahi manawa hiki iā ia ke hoʻomanaʻo koke i kāna ʻano hopu holoholona a hoʻouka i nā holoholona home - nā moa a me nā pōpoki, ʻoiai inā ua ulu ʻo ia ma kahi o lākou.
I mea e hōʻalo ai i kēia, pono e lawe i ka ʻīlio pēpē i ka manawa a pololei. Ma hope o nā mea āpau, hōʻike ʻia ke ʻano inā alakaʻi ʻia nā papa me ia i kahi ʻaoʻao koʻikoʻi. A he ʻano pīhoihoi loa kā ka catahula, maʻalahi lākou e aʻo i ka maikaʻi a me ka maikaʻi ʻole.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā ʻīlio e launa maikaʻi me nā keiki, ka pale ʻana iā lākou i ka makaʻu iki. Eia kekahi, aloha lākou i nā keiki me he mea lā, ʻo nā malihini hoʻi. Akā ʻaʻole makaʻu nā mākua mai "kā lākou ʻeke" a kiaʻi pū ʻia me lākou. ʻOiai nā mea maikaʻi he nui i ke ʻano, hiki iā lākou ke hōʻike i ka paʻakikī a me ka hoʻokuli. Hiki ke hōʻalo ʻia kēia, ma ka hōʻike ʻana i kou alakaʻi ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi.
I kekahi hihia pono ʻole ʻoe e hōʻike i ka hana ʻino, loaʻa i ka ʻīlio kahi hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi a me ka lawa o ka mahalo iā ʻoe iho. I ka wā e hiki mai ana, e nalowale kāna hilinaʻi iā ʻoe, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻaʻole e aloha me ke aloha pū kekahi. ʻO ke aʻo kūmau mau wale nō.
Pono e alakaʻi i nā papa a aʻo i ka ʻīlio mai ka wā kamaliʻi i hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia i ka pilikanaka. Me ka hānai kūpono ʻole ʻana me ka huhū ʻole, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokō i ka hoʻopau loa ʻana i nā ʻano maikaʻi ʻole i ke ʻano. E hoʻomanaʻo mākou iā ʻoe i kā lākou kumu mua e alualu i ka puaʻa hihiu, dia, raccoons, a me ke kōkua i ka hānai holoholona.
Ma ka ʻimi holoholona, alualu lākou i ka mea pio ma ka noho hāmau a hoʻomaka e hae wale ma kahi kokoke iā ia. Mālama lākou i ka holoholona, ʻaʻole kokoke iā ia, e hoʻohana wale ana i ka hae ʻana a me kahi leka uila. Ke hānai holoholona, hoʻohana ʻia lākou e mālama i ka hoʻopaʻi a me kekahi hoʻoweliweli i loko o ka pūʻā.
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ʻo Catahul i nā lawelawe ʻimi hoʻopakele, a me nā haʻuki ʻīlio hoʻi. Akā he nui nā poʻe i kēia mau ʻīlio kupaianaha ma ke ʻano he lālā o ka ʻohana, hoaaloha a hoa hele. I ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana, hiki iā mākou ke ʻōlelo wiwo ʻole: ʻo ka ʻīlio leopadi Catahula kahi laha loli.
Meaʻai kūpono
ʻO ka papaʻai he 70-80 ka pākēneka o nāʻiʻo momona. Pono e hoʻopili i ka papa kuhikuhi i nā mea kanu, nā palaoa, nā huahana waiū, nā hua manu. Hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia kaʻuala a me ka pasta ma mua o 2 manawa o ka pule. Inā ʻoe e hānai nei i kahi meaʻai maoli, e hoʻohui i kahi aila mea kanu no ka maka maka, a me nā wikamina a me nā minelala pono. Hiki iā ʻoe ke koho i kahi meaʻai i hoʻomākaukau ʻia no nā ʻīlio hana.
ʻO "premium" makemake ʻia a i ʻole "holistic" (hoʻokumu ʻia i nā huahana kūlohelohe). Ua kaulike ke kaulike kūpono ma laila. ʻAi ʻia nā ʻīlio liʻiliʻi 3-4 mau manawa i ka lā, ʻīlio makua - 2 manawa i ka lā. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e hoʻopilipili i kāu pipi me ka meaʻai mai kāu papaʻaina, ʻoiai nā meaʻono, nā pā, nā ʻāhi puhi a me nā meaʻai kēpau. Hoʻopili maikaʻi lākou i ka ʻōpū o ka ʻīlio a hiki i nā maʻi. Pono e loaʻa ka wai hou.
ʻO ka hana hou a me ke ola o ke ola
ʻO ka mea mua, mai poina he ʻīlio kupaianaha loa kēia a ʻaʻole pono e hoʻomaka kahi kahu ʻīlio novice i kēia ʻano. akā ʻO nā ʻīlio ʻīlio leopadi Catahula no ka hoʻopā, loaʻa iā lākou kahi huluhulu nani a me nā maka kū hoʻokahi he paʻakikī e pale aku. No laila, hāʻawi mākou i nā ʻōlelo aʻo nui loa: ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohui i ʻelua merles i ka wā hānau.
ʻOiai ʻo ka nani o nā mākua ke nani loa, hiki i nā keiki ke lilo i mau kīpē hauʻoli ʻole - kuli, makapō, a me nā ʻano maʻi ʻē aʻe. ʻOiai ke olakino maikaʻi lākou, hiki iā lākou ke ulu aʻe me ka kaohi ʻole, ka hakakā, a i ʻole, ka makaʻu.
I kahi huaʻōlelo - ʻaʻole kauoha nā genetics! Lawe pinepine ʻia ke "kaikamahine a Catahula" i ke kāne mare no ka male ʻana, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi inā aia ke kāne ma kāna ʻāina. Aia nā ʻīlio he 5-6 i kahi ʻōpala. Hiki i kēlā me kēia ke loaʻa nā kala ʻokoʻa. Waihoʻoluʻu kapa - passport ʻīlio pākahi. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ke ola ma kahi o 11-14 mau makahiki.
Mālama a me ka mālama ʻana
He mea maʻalahi ka mālama ʻana i nā lauoho pokole o kahi nani. Ua lawa ia i kekahi manawa, ma kahi o hoʻokahi manawa i kēlā me kēia ʻehiku lā, e holoi iā ia me kahi kāwele waiū a i ʻole kou lima wale nō, e ʻoluʻolu loa ia no ka ʻīlio. I kekahi manawa hiki iā ʻoe ke lomilomi me kahi mitt paʻakikī. E hoʻoneʻe kēia i ka lauoho nui a wili i nā ʻaoʻao o kāu holoholona.
I ka wā hoʻoheheʻe, pono e hoʻokō pinepine ʻia nā kaʻina hoʻohui - 2-3 mau manawa i ka pule. Nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo laulā, e like me nā ʻīlio he nui - nā niho, nā maka, nā pepeiao. Pono e hoʻomaʻemaʻe mau i nā mea āpau. Paipai ʻia e ʻokiʻoki i nā kui inā ʻaʻole pau lākou i ke kūlohelohe. ʻAʻole ia e koi ʻia e mālama i ka ʻīlio i loko o kahi keʻena, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi i loko o ka hale pilikino, kahi e nui ai ka hana o waho.
ʻO ke koho kūpono e noho ma kahi ma kahi holoholona a i ʻole ma kahi mahiʻai. Aia ma hea kahi hana no kāna i manaʻo ʻia. Eia naʻe, inā he nui kou manawa e hele pū me ia no kahi manawa lōʻihi, malia paha e ʻike ʻo ia he ʻoluʻolu i loko o ke keʻena. Pono lākou e noho me nā gymnastics, hoʻomaʻamaʻa, a aʻo i nā kauoha like ʻole.
Ma ke ala, he poʻe aloha nui lākou i ka ʻeli ʻana i ka pā. Kāohi i kēlā mau "hoʻomaʻamaʻa" ʻana, i ʻole aia kou teritori holoʻokoʻa i loko o nā lua. A hoʻokahi ʻōlelo aʻo hou aʻe - ʻaʻole makemake lākou i ke anuanu anuanu, no ka mea pōkole ko lākou kapa, no laila he mea pono e noʻonoʻo i kēia mea.
No ka loaʻa ʻana o kēlā ʻīlio e pono ai no kahi kanaka wale nō i loaʻa ka ʻike i ka cynology. No laila, paipai ʻia e hoʻopili koke i kahi loea ʻike. He mau pilikia olakino kā lākou.
- ʻO ke kuli kahi predisposition genetical, hōʻike pinepine ʻia i nā ʻīlio keʻokeʻo, pili ia me ke alo o nā melanocytes i ke kino. No laila, ke koho ʻana i kahi ʻīlio, pono e kiaʻi aia he keʻokeʻo liʻiliʻi i ke kala. Loaʻa i kēia mau ʻīlio he 80% hiki ke kuli a hoʻolohe ʻole paha (kuli kuli). Hoʻopili nā Breeders i nā ʻīlio kuli. Inā "Merle" nā mākua ʻelua, a laila he 25% ka manawa o kā lākou keiki e makapō, kuli, a i ʻelua paha. Kapa ʻia kēlā pēpē "pālua merle".
- ʻO ka Hip dysplasia kekahi maʻi maʻi a pili i ke kuleana o nā mea hoʻohua. Wahi a ka Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, ma kahi o 20% o catahoulas i loaʻa i kēia maʻi. Pono e lawe i nā kukuna x i ka manawa a nānā ʻia e ke kauka.
