Kūlike ʻole i nā manaʻo he nui, ʻaʻole hele mai ka Australian Shepherd mai Australia, akā mai ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. ʻAʻole i kūkulu hou ʻia ka mōʻaukala o ka ʻīlio ʻīlio a hiki i kēia lā, akā aia nā manaʻo e pili ana i ka moʻolelo moʻolelo o ka ʻīlio hānai. Wahi a nā manaʻo like ʻole, hele mai ka Australian Shepherd i ʻAmelika ma o ka neʻe ʻana o nā kahu hipa Basque i ka makahiki 19. Ua neʻe aku nā kahu hipa i ʻAmelika i ka wā o ka Gold Rush ma kahi o 1840, a haʻalele i ko lākou home ma Australia me kā lākou mau ʻīlio kahu. Ua hoʻohana lākou i kā lākou ʻīlio e hoʻokele a mālama i kā lākou hipa merino, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Australian Sheep" ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. ʻO kēia ke ʻano i loaʻa ai i ka Australian Shepherd kona inoa i ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa. Ma hope o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua, ua kaulana ʻo Aussie, ʻo ia hoʻi ka Australian Shepherd, me nā poʻe holo holo o ke Komohana a me nā mahiʻai. Laha koke ka ʻohana ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, a hele pū me nā kahu hānai he nui i kā lākou hana. Ua hoʻonui ikaika ʻia nā mākau kahu hānai a me ka hānai ʻana o ka pua, i ʻike ʻia i ke ʻano o nā Aussies i kēia lā.
I ka makahiki 1957 ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka ASCA (Australian Shepherd Club of America) a ua wehe ʻia ka papa inoa mua. ʻEiwa mau makahiki ma hope mai ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka IASA (International Australian Shepherd Association) a ma 1980 ua hui ʻia nā hui ʻelua. Ua paʻi ʻia ka maʻamau maʻamau i kēia lā i ka makahiki 1977 e ka ASCA. Ma waho aʻe o kēia maʻamau, ua paʻi ka American Kennel Club (AKC) i kāna maʻamau ponoʻī, i hoʻomaka ʻia i ka makahiki 1993. Ua ʻike ʻia ka Australian Shepherd e ka FCI i ka lohi, ʻo ia wale nō ma 1996. Ua paʻi ka FCI i kāna kūlana ma Iune 2009. ʻO ka ʻike hope ʻana e ka FCI ma muli paha o ka mea i hōʻike nui ʻia ka Aussie ma ʻEulopa mai ka makahiki 1970. Ua mālama pū ka CASD, ka Hui Kelemānia no nā kahu hipa o Australia i kahi puke haʻawina mai ka makahiki 2001.
No hea mai ke kahuhipa Australia?
Kūlike ʻole i nā manaʻo he nui, ʻaʻole hele mai ka Australian Shepherd mai Australia, akā mai ʻAmelika ʻĀkau.
Nature & Temperament from the Australian Shepherd
ʻO ka Australian Shepherd e hāhā me ka hauʻoli i ke ola a me ka naʻauao. Ua like loaʻo ia me ka Border Collie ma konaʻano, akā he ikaika loa kona manaʻo pale a mālama. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Aussie kekahi o nā ʻīlio agile o nā mea a pau, ʻo ia ke kumu e hoʻohālikelike ʻia ai. Makemake ʻo ia i ka hele wāwae lōʻihi a me ka holo kaʻa, akā ʻaʻole lawa kēia ʻano hana wale nō. Me he mea lā he hale kūʻai ikehu ko ka Australian Shepherd, ʻaʻole e puka i waho.
Ma waho aʻe o ka haʻuki, ʻo ka Aussie he ʻohana nui a aloha keiki. Nui loa kona pilikanaka a hoihoi a hauʻoli i kēlā me kēia huakaʻi hou. Makemake ʻo ia e pāʻani me nā mea ʻē aʻe a he aloha i nā mea a pau. ʻOiai ʻo kona ʻano maʻalahi, ʻaʻole hyper a i ʻole ʻino ka Australian Shepherd. He ʻoluʻolu loa kona a he ʻuhane kūpaʻa. ʻOiai ʻo nā ʻīlio liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi loa ka hele ʻana, i ka nui o nā manawa e pono ai lākou i kahi manawa e pumehana ai i nā malihini a hoʻomaʻamaʻa. Ke loaʻa iā lākou ka hilinaʻi, hōʻike nā ʻīlio maʻalahi i ko lākou ʻaoʻao pāʻani a leʻaleʻa. ʻAʻole haʻalele ka ʻAmelika i ka ʻaoʻao o kāna mea mālama. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Aussies he kūpaʻa loa, hoʻolohe, a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi. ʻOiai pono lākou i kahi kūlike i ko lākou hānai ʻana, aʻo koke lākou ma muli o ko lākou kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻomaopopo.
ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona o ka Australian Shepherd, ʻo ia kāna ʻano ʻano kahu hānai, ʻaʻole pono e hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia. Hōʻike ʻia kēia ma kāna ʻano i ka wā e hopu ai ʻoe iā ia ʻaʻole makemake wale e nānā i ka poʻe kaʻa holo kaʻa akā ʻo nā keiki pū kekahi, nā joggers, a me nā hipa hānai a me nā bipi. ʻO ka manaʻo palekana hoʻi i ʻōlelo ʻia e hoʻolilo ʻo Aussie i ʻīlio kiaʻi maikaʻi loa e makemake ana e pale i kona ʻohana ma mua o nā mea āpau. ʻOiai i kēia mau lā, mahalo nui ʻia e ka poʻe mahiʻai ke kiaʻi i kā lākou mahiʻai a me ka hoʻokele a me ka mālama ʻana i nā holoholona. ʻOiai ʻo ko lākou ʻano palekana ma luna aʻe o ka awelika a me ko lākou makaʻala ʻana, ʻaʻole ʻo ka Australian Shepherd he barker.
ʻO kahi kahuhipa Australia he holoholona ʻohana?
ʻAe, he ʻīlio ʻohana ka Australian Shepherd e pono ai ka hoʻoikaika kino a me ka hoʻoikaika kino.
Ke ano o ke kahuhipa Australia
ʻO nā ʻīlio liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi he kino lokahi. Hōʻike ʻia kona ʻano haʻuki a me kona ʻeleu i kona kino. Ua kūpono ke kino o ka Aussie a hiki i nā ʻīlio ke kaena i ka ikaika iwi maikaʻi. Loaʻa nā kāne i ka nui lāʻau ma waena o 51 a 58 cm, ʻo nā bitches ma kahi o 46 a 53 cm ke kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ke kino o ka Aussie ka lōʻihi ma mua o ke kiʻekiʻe, a ma muli o ka nui a me ke kāne, ʻo nā ʻīlio e ʻoki i nā unahi ma 17 a 27 kg.
ʻO ka Australian Shepherd he mau pepeiao ʻāpana triangular, he ʻūhā i hana maikaʻi ʻia, lohi, a me ke poʻo kūpono. ʻO ka ʻaʻahu o ka Australian Shepherd he ʻano-lōʻihi ka lōʻihi, wavy a pololei, a hele mai i nā kala ākea. ʻO ke ʻano maʻamau o ka pua ʻo ka undercoat paʻa, i manaʻo ʻia e pale aku i ka Aussie mai ka wā. 'O ka lō'ihi ka lō'ihi o ka 'a'ahu a koe na'e ma ke po'o, ma nā pepeiao, ma lalo o nā pu'u, a ma ke alo o nā wāwae mua. Ma laila ka ʻaʻahu lauoho ʻoi aku ka pōkole a me ka maʻalahi.
ʻEhā kala kumu:
- eleʻele;
- ʻupena;
- ʻulaʻula-merle (hina e like me ke kala kumu me ka ʻeleʻele marble);
- ʻulaʻula-merle (ʻulaʻula māmā a i ʻole ka waihoʻoluʻu kumu beige me ka ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula marble).
Hōʻike ʻia kēia mau kala maʻamau a i ʻole i hui pū ʻia me nā kaha, hiki ke keʻokeʻo a me ke kala keleawe. Wahi a ka maʻamau, aia he 16 mau hui kala i ʻike ʻia i ʻokoʻa i ka launa pū ʻana o nā hōʻailona a me nā kala kumu. ʻO nā hui kala i ʻike nui ʻia he ʻulaʻula-merle a me ka uliuli-merle, kēlā me kēia me nā hōʻailona i nā kala keleawe (copper) a me ke keʻokeʻo (keʻokeʻo). Hōʻike ʻia nā kaha ma ʻaneʻi ma kekahi o nā kala ʻelua a i ʻole ma ke keleawe a me ke keʻokeʻo. Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi poʻe Aussies ʻaʻohe hōʻailona.
ʻIke ʻia hoʻi nā hui kala ʻeleʻele-tri a me ʻulaʻula-tri, ʻo ia hoʻi, e like me ka manaʻo o ka inoa, aia ʻekolu kala. Loaʻa ka like me ka ʻulaʻula-bi a me ka ʻeleʻele-bi, ʻelua kala o kēlā me kēia. Eia hou, he nui nā ʻīlio i ke keleawe a me ke keʻokeʻo. ʻAʻole ʻike pinepine ʻia nā ʻeleʻele paʻa a me ka ʻulaʻula paʻa ʻo Aussies he mau kahuhipa Australia, akā ʻike ʻia kēia mau kala ʻelua i nā hui kala i ka maʻamau.
ʻO ke ʻano o ka Australian Shepherd ʻo ia nā wahi keʻokeʻo nui a puni nā maka a me nā pepeiao, e hāʻawi ana i nā ʻīlio i ko lākou "maka". ʻAe ʻia kēia mau hōʻailona ma ka maʻamau, akā nā kiko keʻokeʻo ma ke kino a i ʻole ka ihu e alakaʻi i ka disqualification. I kekahi manawa, loaʻa i nā kahu hipa o Australia ka ihu ʻole ʻole, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Dudley Nose".
He aha ke ʻano o kahi kahu hipa Australia?
He ʻīlio liʻiliʻi ka nui o ka Australian Shepherd. ʻO 51-58 knm ke kiʻekiʻe o nā kāne, 46-53 cm nā wahine.
Hoʻomaʻamaʻa a me ka hānai ʻana o ke kahu hipa Australia - He mea nui kēia e hoʻomaopopo
Pono ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ke aʻo ʻana i kahi kahuhipa Australian. ʻO nā ʻīlio liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi he akamai loa lākou ma ke ʻano a he kiʻekiʻe ko lākou ʻike, akā ʻike pono lākou i ke ʻano o ke kāʻei ʻana i ko lākou haku a haku wahine paha i ko lākou manamana lima. No laila, koi ʻia kahi kūlike a me ka paʻakikī i ka wā e hāpai ai i kahi Aussie. Eia naʻe, pono ka hānai ʻana i ke aloha a hāʻawi i ka ʻīlio i kahi hauʻoli. Manaʻo nui ʻia e hele i kahi papa ma ke kula ʻīlio kokoke loa. Hāʻawi nā kula ʻīlio a i ʻole nā kikowaena hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻīlio i ka manawa no ka ʻīlio e maʻa i nā ʻīlio ʻē aʻe i ka wā mua.
He ʻīlio akamai loa ka Australian Shepherd e pono ai ka hoʻoikaika kino a me ka hana. Inā makemake ʻoe e mālama i kahi Aussie, pono ʻoe e hoʻolālā i ka manawa he nui a he ʻano haʻuki. I ka mālama ʻana i kahi kahuhipa Australian, pono e mālama pono i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ka ʻīlio. Pili kēia i nā hana kino a me ka noʻonoʻo. ʻO ka hele wāwae, ka holo ʻana, ke kaʻa kaʻa, a i ʻole ka holo ʻana, aia ka Australian Shepherd ma nā wahi āpau. Akā, he mea leʻaleʻa nā haʻuki ʻīlio, hoʻomaʻamaʻa hoʻolohe, a me nā mea like ʻole no ka pūkuniahi haʻuki akamai.
ʻAi ʻai a ke kahuhipa Australia
ʻO ka ʻai a ka Australian Shepherd he ʻano like ia me kēlā me kēia ʻano ʻīlio ʻē aʻe, ma muli o ko lākou mau makahiki, pae o ka hana, ka ikehu o ka meaʻai i hoʻohana ʻia, ke olakino ākea, a me nā mea ʻai ʻole. He kuleana nō hoʻi ia inā ua neutered ka ʻīlio a i ʻole he ʻīlio neutered. Pono nā ʻīlio i ka ʻai i loaʻa ka ikehu kiʻekiʻe loa i ko lākou ulu ʻana. Pono pū nā ʻīlio hāpai a me nā ʻīlio i hoʻopaʻa ʻole ʻia i ka meaʻai me ka nui o ka ikehu a i ʻole ka nui o ka meaʻai.
I mea e hāʻawi ai i ke kahuhipa Australia i ke kākoʻo meaʻai maikaʻi loa, pono e uku ʻia i ka meaʻai kaulike a olakino. Ua like ka ai o ka ilio me ko ke kanaka. He mea nui ka hoʻokele waiwai me nā kuki ʻīlio, no laila e loaʻa i ka ʻai nui hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha nā meaʻai e pono ai. Ma muli o kona ʻano haʻuki a me ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe o ka agility, makemake ka Australian Shepherd i ka ʻai ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ikehu ma mua o nā ʻano ʻīlio ʻē aʻe. Paipai mākou i ka meaʻai i loaʻa i ka nui o ka protein e hoʻoulu pono i nā ʻiʻo o ka ʻīlio. Hoʻomaikaʻi pū ka metabolism mai kahi meaʻai momona i nā micro a me nā macronutrients.
Hiki ke hānai ʻia ka ʻīlio i ka hui ʻana o ka meaʻai maloʻo a me ka meaʻai pulu a me ka meaʻai i kuke ʻia i ka home. Eia kekahi, he moho maikaʻi ka Australian Shepherd no ka barfing. Hōʻike ʻo Barf i kahi meaʻai kahi e hānai nui ʻia ai ka ʻīlio i ka ʻiʻo maka, i hui pū ʻia me ka papa inoa o nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu a me nā momona kiʻekiʻe. Ma ke ʻano he mea pāʻani, pōmaikaʻi ka Aussie mai kēia ʻai ʻana e like me nā iwi, nā ʻiʻo, nā tendons, a me nā ligaments e pōmaikaʻi mai ka ʻike protein kiʻekiʻe a me nā mea hou.
Ola Ola - Ka Manaʻo Ola & Nā maʻi maʻamau
ʻO ka mea maʻamau, loaʻa i ka Australian Shepherd ke ola ma waena o 12 a 14 mau makahiki. No ka hiki ʻana i kēia makahiki, pono ʻole ka Aussie i nā maʻi hoʻoilina, loaʻa ka ʻai kaulike, a lawa ke kino a me ka noʻonoʻo.
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, e like me nā ʻīlio moʻopuna ʻē aʻe, ua loaʻa pū kēia ʻano ʻīlio i nā maʻi i hoʻoili ʻia ma ka genetically. Hoʻopilikia pinepine ʻia ka poʻe Aussie i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo MDR1 defect, kahi e hoʻoulu ai i ka hypersensitivity i nā lāʻau lapaʻau like ʻole. Pili kēia hemahema ma kahi o 40% o nā ʻīlio. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Aussies kēlā mau ʻīlio pedigree e hōʻike ana i nā maʻi genetic koʻikoʻi ma muli o ka hoʻoulu ʻia a hoʻonui ʻia.
ʻO nā kūlana e like me ka epilepsy, nā maʻi autoimmune, nā allergies, thyroid a me nā pilikia naʻau, a me ka hip a me ka elbow dysplasia he mea maʻamau i kēia ʻano. I loko o nā makahiki, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā maʻi i hele mai i ka genetically ma o ka hoʻoilina hoʻoilina a koi ʻia ma o ka hānau ʻana.
ʻO nā kahu hipa Australia no ka male merle x merle e loaʻa pinepine i nā hemahema koʻikoʻi o ka mea ʻike a me ka lohe. Nui nā ʻīlio he makapō a kuli paha mai ka hānau ʻana a ma hope paha o ke ola. No laila ua pāpā ʻia ka hānau ʻana o kēia mau matings ma Kelemania a ua helu ʻia ʻo ia he hānau hoʻomāinoino.
ʻEhia makahiki i loaʻa i nā kahu hipa Australia?
He 12 a me 14 makahiki ko ka Australian Shepherd.
Hoomakaukau i ke kahuhipa Australian
He mau ʻīlio mālama haʻahaʻa ʻo Aussies. Ma muli o ko lākou ʻaʻahu lalo mehana a me ka lōʻihi lōʻihi, pono ke kāhili a ʻoki mau ʻia ke kahuhipa Australian. He mea pono e kipa aku i kahi kahu ilio ina aole oe i ike mua. Hiki i kēia ke hoʻoheheʻe i ke kapa lalo me ka ʻole o ka hōʻino ʻana i ke kapa luna. Pono ka ʻauʻau ʻana i ka Aussie i kēlā me kēia manawa, akā ʻaʻole pono ia.
Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka ʻaʻahu, pono ke nānā pono i ke olakino kino. Ma muli o ka maʻi o ka Australian Shepherd i ka nui o nā maʻi hoʻoilina, pono ka nānā ʻana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau maʻamau. ʻOiai he ʻīlio, i ka wā o nā lāʻau lapaʻau like ʻole, pono e hōʻike ʻia ka ʻīlio i ke kauka holoholona a nānā nui ʻia i mea e pale aku ai i nā pilikia ma hope.
Nā hana a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana o nā kahu hipa o Australia
Ma keʻano laulā, ua hoʻoikaika nui ʻia ka Aussie e aʻo a aʻo i nā hoʻopunipuni hou a me nā kauoha wikiwiki loa. Pono ke aʻo kumu ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio a ʻaʻole ia he pilikia no ka Australian Shepherd. ʻAʻole paʻakikī kēia ʻīlio ʻīlio a ʻaʻole makemake nui iā ia iho i ke aʻo ʻana. Hoʻoikaika nui ʻia ʻo Aussies e hoʻolohe i kā lākou mau mea nona a hauʻoli i ka kali ʻana i nā makemake āpau o ko lākou haku.
No ka mea, ʻo ka Australian Shepherd kekahi o nā ʻīlio haʻuki nui loa, ua hoihoi ʻo ia i nā hana waho a me nā haʻuki ʻīlio. Inā he kaʻa kaʻa, ka holo ʻana, ka skateboarding, ke hele pū me ʻoe ma nā kaʻa lio, ka holoholo ʻana, a i ʻole ke hele pū ʻana me ʻoe i nā huakaʻi ski, hauʻoli loa ka Australia i ka hoʻoikaika kino. Hōʻike pinepine ʻia kēia ʻano ʻīlio i nā haʻuki ʻīlio. ʻOiaʻiʻo nō kēia ma muli o ka maikaʻi o ka Aussie ma luna o ka awelika, akā ma muli o kona kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻomaopopo a me kona naʻauao. ʻO ka mea makemake i ka ʻīlio e makemake ai e hoʻāʻo i nā ʻīlio hoa like ʻole a i ʻole e komo i nā hoʻokūkū agility e loaʻa iā ia ka hoa haʻuki kūpono i ka Australian Shepherd.
He kūpono hoʻi ʻo Aussie no ka hoʻolohe, lele, nā haʻuki kaulana, a me nā haʻuki ʻīlio ʻē aʻe he nui. ʻO ka mea mālama i kahi kahuhipa Australian e hāʻawi i ka ʻīlio i nā ʻano hana ākea me ka hana kūpono. Hana pū ʻo Aussies i ka hoʻopakele maikaʻi ʻana, therapy, a i ʻole nā ʻīlio hoa.
Maikaʻi e ʻike: Nā hiʻohiʻona kūikawā o ke kahuhipa Australian
He ʻokoʻa me nā ʻīlio ʻīlio ʻē aʻe, he mau hiʻohiʻona kūikawā ko Aussie. Loaʻa iā ia kahi huelo stumpy congenital, i kapa ʻia ma ka jargon ʻenehana ʻo "Natural Bobtail" (NBT pōkole). Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia ka hihia no nā ʻīlio āpau. Me kekahi mau ʻīlio, hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka huelo ma hope, akā ma nā ʻāina wale nō kahi i pāpā ʻole ʻia ai kēia "hoʻokiʻoki kino". Ma Kelemānia, pāpā ʻia ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka huelo a me ka pepeiao e like me ka Pauku 6 o ke Kānāwai Ola Ola.
ʻO kekahi hiʻohiʻona kūikawā o ka Australian Shepherd ka waihoʻoluʻu o kona mau maka. Mai ka uliuli uliuli a hiki i ka ʻulaʻula, hiki i nā maka ke lawe i kēlā me kēia kala a me ka hui kala. I kekahi mau hihia, loaʻa i nā ʻAmelika ʻelua mau maka kala like ʻole.
ʻEhia ke kumu kūʻai o kahi kahu hipa Australia?
