Ikati le-Snowshoe luhlobo lwamakati afuywayo, igama lawo elivela egameni lesiNgisi elihunyushwe ngokuthi "isicathulo seqhwa", futhi litholakala ngombala wezidladla. Kubonakala sengathi bagqoke amasokisi amhlophe qhwa.
Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yobunzima bezakhi zofuzo, kunzima ukufeza i-shoo ephelele yeqhwa, futhi namanje ayitholakali emakethe.
Umlando wozalo
Ngasekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-1960, umfuyi waseSiamese ozinze ePhiladelphia uDorothy Hinds-Daugherty wathola amazinyane angavamile kudoti wekati elijwayelekile laseSiamese. Babebukeka njengamakati amaSiamese, anephuzu lawo lemibala, kodwa futhi babenamasokisi amane amhlophe ezinqeni zabo.
Iningi labalimi lalizothuswa iqiniso lokuthi lokhu kubhekwa njengomshado ongenacala, kepha uDorothy wayebathandile. Njengoba izingozi ezijabulisayo zingaphinde zenzeke, futhi wathandana nokukhethekile kwalezi kittens, wanquma ukuqala ukusebenza ngohlobo.
Ngalokhu, wasebenzisa uphawu lwamakati amakati eSiamese namakati e-American Shorthair bicolor. Amantshontsho azelwe kubo ayengenawo amaphuzu, kwathi ngemuva kokuba ephinde elethwe namakati eSiamese, ukutholakala okufunwayo kwatholakala. UDorothy uqambe uhlobo olusha oluthi "Snow Shoe", ngesiNgisi "Snowshoe", ngenxa yezidladla ezibukeka njengamakati zisanda kuhamba eqhweni.
Eqhubeka nokuzalanisa ngama-American Shorthairs, wathola inketho yombala eyayinendawo emhlophe ebusweni, ngesimo se-V eguquliwe, ethinta ikhala nebhuloho lekhala. Waze wabamba iqhaza nabo embukisweni wekati lendawo, yize njengohlobo lweqhwa-shou babengaziwa ndawo.
Kepha kancane kancane waphelelwa yisithakazelo kubo, futhi uVikki Olander, waseNorfolk, eVirginia, waqala ukuthuthukisa lolu hlobo. Wabhala indinganiso yokuzalanisa, waheha abanye abafuyi, futhi wazuza isimo sokuhlola neCFF kanye neAmerican Cat Association (ACA) ngo-1974.
Kepha, ngo-1977, uhlala eyedwa, njengoba umfuyi ngamunye emshiya, ekhungathekile yimizamo engaphumelelanga yokuthola amakati ahlangabezana nezinga. Ngemuva komzabalazo weminyaka emithathu wekusasa, u-Olander ukulungele ukudela.
Futhi-ke kufika usizo olungalindelekile. UJim Hoffman noJordia Kuhnell, wase-Ohio, bathintane neCFF bese becela imininingwane ngabazalisi beqhwa beqhwa. Ngaleso sikhathi, kusele i-Olander eyodwa kuphela.
Bayamsiza futhi baqashe abasizi abaningana ukuze baqhubeke nomsebenzi wohlobo. Ngo-1989, u-Olander ngokwakhe uyabashiya, ngenxa yokungezwani namakati, okuyinto ingoduso yakhe enayo, kodwa esikhundleni salokho kwafika ongoti abasha eqenjini.
Ekugcineni, ukuphikelela kwavuzwa. I-CFF inikeza isikhundla sobumpetha ngo-1982, ne-TICA ngo-1993. Okwamanje iyaziwa yizo zonke izinhlangano ezinkulu e-United States, ngaphandle kwe-CFA ne-CCA.
Izindawo zokugcina izingane ziyaqhubeka nokusebenza ukuthola isimo sobuqhawe kulezi zinhlangano. Ziyaziwa ngokuphelele yiFédération Internationale Féline, iAmerican Association of Cat Enthusiasts, neCat Fanciers Federation.
Incazelo
Lawa makati akhethwa yilabo bantu abathanda ikati lamaSiamese, kepha abathandi uhlobo oluncane kakhulu nokuma kwekhanda lamaSiamese anamuhla, okuthiwa ngokweqile. Lapho lolu hlobo luqala ukuvela, lwaluhluke kakhulu kunekati manje. Futhi wagcina ubunikazi bakhe.
ISnow Shoo luhlobo lwakati lekati olumaphakathi ngomzimba ohlanganisa isitokwe se-American Shorthair nobude bamaSiamese.
Kodwa-ke, lo umgijimi webanga elide kunowesisindo, onomzimba wobude obuphakathi, onzima futhi onemisipha, kodwa hhayi amafutha. Ama-paws anobude obuphakathi nendawo, anamathambo amancane, ngokulingana nomzimba. Umsila ungobude obuphakathi nendawo, uqine kancane kusisekelo, bese uthinta ngasekugcineni.
Ikhanda lisesimweni somgogodla osikiwe, onamathambo ahlonishwayo nomugqa onomusa.
Cishe ilingana ngobubanzi nokuphakama kwayo futhi ifana nonxantathu olinganayo. Isifonyo asibanzi futhi asisikwele, futhi asikhonjwa.
Izindlebe ziphakathi ngosayizi ophakathi, ziyazwela, ziyindilinga kancane ezincwadini futhi zibanzi ezansi.
Amehlo awaphumeli ngaphandle, aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ahlukene kakhulu.
Ijazi libushelelezi, lifushane noma lilingana, liseduze ngokulingene nomzimba, ngaphandle kwembatho yangaphansi. Ngokuqondene nemibala, iqhwa-shu lifana namakhekheba eqhwa amabili, awalokothi afane.
Kodwa-ke, zombili imibala nokufaka imibala kubalulekile kanye nomzimba olinganayo. Kuzinhlangano eziningi, amazinga aqinile impela. Ikati elihle elinamaphuzu asezindlebeni, emsileni, ezindlebeni nasebusweni.
Isifihla-buso sihlanganisa sonke isifonyo ngaphandle kwezindawo ezimhlophe. Izindawo ezimhlophe ziyi- “V” eguquliwe esifubeni, emboza ikhala nebhuloho lempumulo (kwesinye isikhathi linabela esifubeni), kanye “nezinzwani ezinyaweni” ezimhlophe.
Umbala wamaphoyinti uncike enhlanganweni. Kokuningi, kuvunyelwe kuphela iphuzu lokubeka uphawu nephuzu eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, noma kunjalo kuvunyelwe ushokoledi we-TICA, onsomi, obomvu, ukhilimu nabanye.
Amakati amadala anesisindo esisuka ku-4 kuye ku-5.5 kg, kuyilapho amakati e-sleeker futhi enesisindo kusuka ku-3 kuye ku-4.5 kg. Ezimweni eziningi, ukweqa i-American Shorthair namakati aseSiamese kwamukelekile, yize iningi lamathambo evika amakati aseMelika.
Ikati laseThai livame ukusetshenziselwa lezi zinhloso, ngoba ukwakheka komzimba wayo nombala kusondele kakhulu ku-shoo yeqhwa kunekati lesimanje eleqile kakhulu laseSiamese.
Uhlamvu
Izicathulo zeqhwa ezingenabo ubuhle ngaphambi kokubonisa isigaba (ezimhlophe kakhulu, ezincane kakhulu, noma ezindaweni ezingafanele) ziseyizilwane ezifuywayo ezipholile.
Abanikazi bajabulela isimilo esihle esizuzwe njenge-American Shorthair nezwi elizwakalayo lamakati aseSiamese. Lawa amakati asebenzayo athanda ukukhuphukela endaweni ephakeme ukuze abuke konke kusuka lapho.
Abanikazi bathi bahlakaniphe kakhulu, futhi baqonda kalula ukuthi bangavula kanjani ikhabethe, umnyango, kwesinye isikhathi ngisho nesiqandisi. NjengamaSiamese, bayathanda ukuletha amathoyizi abo ukuze uwawise bese bebuya.
Futhi bayawathanda amanzi, ikakhulukazi amanzi ahambayo. Futhi uma ulahlekelwe okuthile, qala ubheke kusinki, indawo oyithandayo yokufihla izinto. Oompompi, ngokuvamile, bakhangwa kakhulu yibo, futhi bangase bakucele ukuthi uvule amanzi njalo uma ungena ekhishini.
I-Snow shou igxile kubantu futhi ithambekele kakhulu emndenini. Lawa makati anezidladla ezimhlophe azohlala engaphansi kwezinyawo zakho ukuze uzinake futhi uzifuye, hhayi nje ukuhamba ngebhizinisi lakho.
Bazonda isizungu, futhi bazokhalaza uma ubashiya isikhathi eside. Yize kungeyona umsindo omkhulu futhi ongahlonipheki njengamaSiamese akudala, noma kunjalo ngeke bakhohlwe ukuzikhumbuza besebenzisa imephu ekhishiwe. Noma kunjalo, izwi labo lithule futhi limnandi ngokwengeziwe, futhi lizwakala limnandi ngokwengeziwe.
Iziphetho
Inhlanganisela yokuzivumelanisa nezimo nomzimba oqinile, amaphoyinti, amasokisi amhlophe kanokusho nebala elimhlophe esifubeni (amanye) abenza babe amakati akhethekile futhi afiselekayo. Kepha, inhlanganisela eyingqayizivele yezinto iyenza futhi ibe olunye lwezinhlobo ezinzima kakhulu ukuzala nokuthola izilwane ezikhethiwe.
Ngenxa yalokhu, bahlala bengavamile ngisho noma sekudlule amashumi eminyaka bezelwe. Izinto ezintathu zenza ukuzalanisa iqhwa shoo kungumsebenzi owesabekayo: i-white spot factor (i-gene ephendulayo iyaphendula); umbala we-acromelanic (isakhi sofuzo esibhekene naso sinomthwalo) nokuma kwekhanda nomzimba.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, into ebhekene namabala amhlophe yinto engalindelekile kakhulu nangemva kweminyaka yokukhethwa. Uma ikati lizuza isakhi sofuzo esivela kubo bobabili abazali, lizoba mhlophe kakhulu kunokuthi kudlule umzali oyedwa kufuzo.
Kodwa-ke, ezinye izakhi zofuzo nazo zingathinta ubukhulu nenani lomhlophe, ngakho-ke umphumela kunzima ukuwulawula futhi akunakwenzeka ukubikezela. Ngamanye amagama, kunzima ukuthola izindawo ezimhlophe ezindaweni ezifanele nangezilinganiso ezifanele.
Faka ezinye izinto ezimbili kulokho, futhi une-cocktail yezofuzo enemiphumela engalindelekile kakhulu.
