Umlando wozalo
Njengoba izizukulwane kanye nemibhalo yokuzalaniswa kwama-ambulensi kungagcinwanga ngaleso sikhathi, kunezimfihlakalo eziningi ngomlando walolu hlobo. Ngokusobala, konke kwaqala nge-English Mastiff, nomlando wayo awucaci, ngoba bahlala eNgilandi iminyaka engaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezimbili.
Ekuqaleni, ama-mastiff ayesetshenziswa kuphela njengezinja zokulwa nokuqapha, kepha abalimi babona ukuthi zingasetshenziswa njengezinja zokwalusa. Ngalezo zinsuku, kwakuwumkhuba ojwayelekile ukukhipha imfuyo ukuze idliswe mahhala, izingulube nezimbuzi kwakhula njengendle futhi kwakunzima ukusebenza nazo. Amandla amakhulu ama-mastiffs awavumela ukuthi agcinwe endaweni kuze kufike umnikazi.
Ngeshwa, ama-mastiffs ayengawufanelekele kahle lo msebenzi. Ubukhulu bawo obukhulu babusho ukuthi isikhungo sawo samandla adonsela phansi sasiphezulu impela, futhi kwakulula ukuwadiliza bese uwashaya. Babentula ezemidlalo njengoba iningi laliphila izimpilo zalo ngamaketanga.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kwakhiwa imigqa ehlukahlukene, yancipha, yanolaka kakhulu futhi yezemidlalo. Mhlawumbe, lezi zinja zaziphambana njalo nama-mastiffs. Ngo-1576, uJohann Kai akasakhulumi ngama-bulldogs, yize ekhuluma ngamastiffs. Kodwa kusukela ngo-1630, izinkomba eziningi ziqala ukuvela, futhi ama-bulldogs nama-mastiffs ahlukaniswe kuwo.
