I-American Bandog (i-English Bandog noma i-Bandogge) akuyona inzalo yaseMelika ehlanzekile, etholakala ngokuwela izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zeMolossians (Mastiffs). Lona uhlobo olusebenzayo, umsebenzi oyinhloko ukugada nokuvikela.
Umlando wozalo
Izinhlobo zazivela eNgilandi yangenkathi ephakathi. Kepha, ngaleso sikhathi, igama elithi bandog lalingabizwa ngokuthi uhlobo oluthile, kepha uhlobo lwenja naleli gama akuhlangene nokuqonda kwanamuhla kohlobo olucwengekileyo.
Kukholakala ukuthi badabuka kuma-mastiffs, kepha lokhu akulona iqiniso ngokuphelele. Ama-bandogs achazwe emithonjeni engokomlando anezici ezifana nama-mastiffs, kepha angavela kunoma iyiphi inja. Ngemuva kwakho konke, i- "bandogge" kwakungeyona inzalo, kepha inhlanganisela yezinto ezisiza inja ukuxazulula inkinga.
Umlimi wangenkathi ephakathi wayengenandaba nokuthi inja yakhe yayingakanani nokuthi ngubani ukhokho wayo. Wayezibuza ukuthi uzoyivikela kanjani impahla yakhe. Futhi inja engakwazi ukuvikela izobizwa ngokuthi yini, kepha hhayi i-bandog. Akunandaba ukuthi ubukeka esongela kanjani.
Leli gama uqobo lwavela ngaphambi kukaShakespeare futhi lihunyushwa ngezindlela ezihlukile. Ukuhumusha okuvame kakhulu, ngokusho kwakhe, okubizwa ngokuthi ama-bandogs kwakuyizinja ezazigcinwa eketangeni futhi zikhishwe kuphela lapho kunesidingo sokuhlasela isisulu. Isisulu kungaba kokubili umuntu nesilwane.
Izinja ezinjalo zaziphatha unogada, umsebenzi wokuvikela, kwesinye isikhathi zazisetshenziselwa ukuzingela izilwane ezinkulu, futhi kwesinye isikhathi zazilwa emigodini.
Isibindi esingajwayelekile lezi zinja asinakukholwa. Zikhuliswe emgqeni omude wokhokho abanjengempi, lezi zinja zazinolaka futhi zinesibindi kangangokuthi zazibonakala zingenandaba nobuhlungu.
UWilliam Harrison, echaza iNgilandi yesikhathi sakhe (1586), ubalula "bandogge".
UBandog uyinja enkulu, enenkani, ethize imbi, iyesabeka, inamandla kakhulu, iyesabeka, futhi inesimo esinolaka kakhulu. Iningi lazo liboshwe ngamaketanga emini ukuze lingalimazi abanye.
Ngaleso sikhathi, kwakugcinwa kuphela izinja ezithembekile, ezinesibindi, ezinamandla, eziqinile, ezaziletha izinzuzo ezingaphezu kwezindleko zazo zesondlo. Banenkani futhi banonya, bakhombisa ikhono elingantengantengi nokuzimisela ukunqoba isisulu sabo.
I-bandog yangempela ibeke ngaphezu kwakho konke umnikazi nomndeni wakhe, angazidela ukuze afeze ukuhleleka. Lolu hlobo lwenja ludala njengobuntu uqobo, ngoba izinkulungwane zeminyaka abantu basinda futhi babengeke bakwazi ukukhokhela inja ukuzijabulisa.
Kodwa-ke, lezo zinja sezikhohliwe isikhathi eside, ukushiwo ngazo kwahlala ezincwadini kuphela. Ama-bandogs esimanje azalwe ngenxa yomuntu oyedwa.
Kwakungudokotela wezilwane waseMelika uJohn Swinford.
Wayekholelwa ukuthi izinja zokugada zanamuhla zilahlekelwe yizimfanelo zazo zokusebenza, futhi ama-molossians abe yisithunzi sobukhulu bawo bangaphambili. Abafuyi babedinga imali futhi baphoqeleka ukuba bafuye izinja okwakulula ukuzithengisa. Ngenxa yalokhu, ama-mastiff awakhuthazeki ukuthi asebenze, alahlekelwe ngamakhono awo ezelwe, ayavilapha, futhi abaningi banezinkinga zokulalela.
Abafuyi benza ukukhetha ukuguqulwa kwezimonyo ekubukekeni, bangazinaki izimfanelo zokusebenza. Ngemuva kwakho konke, izinja azisebenzi, kepha zibamba iqhaza kulo mbukiso. Kwesinye isikhathi bancama ngisho nempilo yohlobo lwangaphandle olungcono.
Ukubuyisela izimfanelo ezilahlekile nokubuyisela ukusebenza kahle, uJohn waqala ukukhetha izinja ngokusebenza kwazo. Lezi zinja bekufanele zizinze ngokuphelele embuthanweni womndeni futhi zingesabi lutho olungaphandle kwazo.
Ukuqina, impilo, ukukhuthazela, ukushayela, ukuzethemba - lolu akulona uhlu oluphelele lwezimfanelo ezidingekayo. UJohn wakhetha izinhlobonhlobo zamaMastiff (ikakhulukazi amaNgisi kanye neNeapolitan Mastiffs) futhi wawawela nge-American Pit Bull Terriers neAmerican Staffordshire Terriers.
USwinford usebenze kohlobo iminyaka eminingi futhi udale izizukulwane eziningana. Umsebenzi wakhe wathola ukuqashelwa ezincwadini nakumamagazini, lolu hlobo lwaqala ukubonakala, kepha ...
Udokotela wezilwane uJohn Bayard Swinford ushone ngoNovemba 1971, ehluleka ukufeza inhloso yakhe yokwenza inja ephelele yokuqapha. Kodwa-ke, ngosizo lwemikhuba yakhe emihle kakhulu nezindlela zokuzalela, abangane bakhe bawuqeda umsebenzi baphinde bavuselela umqondo we-bandog.
Ibizwa nangokuthi yi-American Swinford Bandog, yize leli gama lingajwayelekile. Iphupho lakhe lalifakwe ezinja eziningana ezinkulu, ezinamandla, zezemidlalo ezinomlingiswa ozinzile.
Kuze kube manje, umsebenzi wohlobo uyaqhubeka. Uhlobo alwamukelwa yinoma iyiphi inhlangano yomhlaba wonke ye-canine futhi aluhlanjululwa. Kepha kukhona abathandi bohlobo emhlabeni wonke futhi bayaqhubeka nokuzala.
Incazelo
I-American Bandogue Mastiff inemisipha eqinile namathambo aqinile, kepha ngasikhathi sinye iyasubatha futhi iqinile. Ngawo wonke amandla ayo, i-bandog akufanele isindwe.
Lapho kubuna, izinja zifinyelela kuma-63-73 cm, abesilisa banesisindo esingu-45-63 kg, abesifazane bangama-36-54 kg. Isikhathi sokuphila siyiminyaka eyi-10-11.
Ikhanda likhulu, linemihlathi eyisikwele. Izindlebe zinkulu, ziyalenga, kepha abanye abanikazi bazisika.
Uhlobo lunengubo emfushane, emahhadlahhadla enomsila nomsila omude onomsila. Umbala wejazi uvame ukuba yibrindle noma umnyama, kepha kunezinja ezinombala obomvu nofana. Izinja ezimhlophe futhi ezimhlophe ngokwengxenye zibhekwa njengezingathandeki.
Uhlamvu
Ama-bandogs anokuziphatha okuhlangene, kepha awaphikisi indawo yabo esigabeni sabaphathi kakhulu futhi, ngokukhuliswa okufanele, baba ngamalungu omndeni afanelekile.
Zilungele izingane ezithandwayo futhi ezivikelwe. Bazimisele futhi banzima emsebenzini, bayazola futhi bakhululekile ekhaya.
Lapho uhlangana nabantu ongabazi nezinja, bayazola, kepha bangaba nolaka uma bengakahlangani ngokwanele.
Ama-bandogs athembekile enkosini yawo, zama ukujabulisa nokuthanda umsebenzi. Uma umdlwane ukhula uzungezwe amakati nezinye izilwane, khona-ke uwabona njengamalungu ephakethe, edlulisela ukuvikela kwakhe kuwo.
Kodwa-ke, esimweni esibucayi, konke ukuzola kwabo kuyanyamalala khona manjalo. Lokhu kwenza i-bandog ibe unogada nomvikeli omuhle kakhulu.
Azikhonkothi ngisho ngaphambi kokuhlaselwa, okuba isimanga esingemnandi kulowo ohlasela. Ngasikhathi sinye, ikhono labo lokuqonda isimo lihle kakhulu. Baqonda ukuthi kukuphi ukuziphatha okuvamile nokuthi kuyasolisa kuphi.
Ngaphandle kokuthi lezi zinja zizolile futhi ziyazethemba, akufanele zinconywe kubafuyi be-novice. Ngaphezu kwalokho, akufanele kube ithoyizi.
Ngumnikazi onolwazi kuphela ongakwazi ukuqonda izinhloso zabo, aziphathe futhi azilawule. Ngeshwa, iphesenti labanikazi abanjalo lingaphansi kwe-100 oyifunayo.
Lokhu kuholele emiphumeleni edabukisayo - i-bandog yaseMelika usohlwini lwaseRussia lwezinto ezingaba yingozi. Ukuhamba ngezinja ezinjalo akuvunyelwe ngaphandle komlomo nesibopho.
Ukunakekela
Kulula ngokwanele, njengoba inja inezinwele ezimfishane. Kepha, udinga ukufundisa ukunakekela kusukela ebuntwaneni. Kunzima impela ukubamba inja enesisindo esingama-60 kg uma ingafuni.
Ekuqaleni, imidlwane imelana nokushiya, kodwa bekezela futhi konke kuzolunga. Qala ngemizuzu embalwa ngosuku, ukwanda kancane kancane kwesikhathi.
Ukuxubha njalo kunenzuzo ngisho nangamajazi amafushane. Ngakho-ke, ususa inkwethu, izinwele ezifile futhi unciphise iphunga lenja.
Inja ingagezwa ngezikhathi ezithile, kodwa hhayi kaningi, ngoba iyingozi esikhunjeni, lapho kuhlanzwa khona amanoni okuvikela. Ngokuvamile kwanele ukugeza inja yakho kanye ngenyanga.
Ezempilo
Njengezinhlobo ezihlanzekile, ama-nzalo angabhekana nezifo zofuzo. Kuma-bandogs, izifo ezifanayo ziyisici se-mastiffs. Esikhathini esiningi lezi yizinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zama-dysplasias nomdlavuza.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, bathambekele kuma-volvulus, njengoba benesifuba esikhulu. Qiniseka ukuthi uzijwayeza lesi sifo nokuthi ungasinqanda kanjani, njengoba amaphutha wokudla elula angabiza impilo yenja yakho.
