Lowchen. ʻO ka inoa o kēia ʻano o ka ʻīlio e like me ka "ke aliʻi o nā holoholona" a ʻike ʻia kekahi ʻano like i ka helehelena. Eia naʻe, ʻokoʻa kona nui mai ka inoa o kona inoa, no laila ka maʻalahi o ka inoa. Mai Farani mai, ʻike ʻia ka pua no kona ʻano aloha, pāʻani. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia he naʻauao, ʻimi a olaola: makemake ʻo Lowchen e hana me ʻoe!
"Liona Petit Chien" - he Liona liʻiliʻi o ka Aliʻi
He ʻīlio ʻīlio ka Lowchen nona ka moʻolelo mai ka Middle Ages: ma ka hale pule Gothic o Amiens ma Farani, i kūkulu ʻia i ke kenekulia 13, aia ʻelua ʻīlio i kālai ʻia i loko o ka pōhaku e like me ke ʻano o nā Lowchens o kēia lā. Loaʻa ka inoa o ka pua mai kona helehelena a i ʻole "ka lauoho liona": no ka hiʻohiʻona maʻamau, ʻoki ʻia ka hulu mai ka pūhaka i lalo, akā lōʻihi ka lōʻihi ma ka hapa mua o ke kino. Ma nā wāwae, waiho ʻia nā ʻokiʻoki a puni nā pasterns, a ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka hulu o ka huelo ma mua o ke koena o ka huelo. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka liona ma nā kiʻi pena he nui o ke kenekulia 17: makemake ka poʻe aristocrats i ka ʻīlio ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio lap, no ka mea he ʻano liʻiliʻi ia o ka pōpoki predatory ikaika.
Hiki i nā Lowchens ke kiʻekiʻe o 26 a 32 mau kenimika a he mau ʻohana pili ia o nā Bichon. I ka wā o ka French Revolution a me ka emi ʻana o ka poʻe aliʻi, ua poina nui ʻia nā hoa liʻiliʻi wāwae ʻehā. Akā mai ka waena o ke kenekulia 20, ua piʻi hou lākou: ua hānai nā mea aloha ʻīlio i ka "petit Chien lion", a i kēia lā he ʻano kaulana ka liona liʻiliʻi a puni ka honua.
Ke ano o ka Liona
He ʻano ʻoliʻoli a pāʻani ʻo Lowchen. He ʻoluʻolu loa ʻo ia a me ka maluhia: ʻaneʻane ʻaʻole hōʻike ʻo Lowchen i ke ʻano koʻikoʻi. Ua launa maikaʻi lākou me nā hoa a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe a ua manaʻo ʻia he aloha keiki. Kūpaʻa lākou i ko lākou mau mea nona, e noʻonoʻo pinepine ana i hoʻokahi kanaka o ka ʻohana. He mau ʻīlio hoa maikaʻi nā Lowchens, nā ʻīlio ʻohana, a me nā ʻīlio hoa no ka poʻe ʻōpio a me nā poʻe ʻelemakule, ʻoiai hiki iā lākou ke hāʻawi i nā ʻīlio me ka mālama pono a me ka hoʻoikaika kino.
ʻAʻole i wehewehe pono ka huaʻōlelo "ʻīlio pipi" i ke ʻano o ka ʻīlio, no ka mea, he ʻīlio ola a me ke ʻano o Lowchen. Pāʻani nui lākou a hauʻoli i ka pāʻani pū me nā mea nona a me nā ʻīlio ʻē aʻe. Manaʻo ʻia lākou he akamai, he wiwo ʻole, a he nīnau, makemake lākou e aʻo i nā mea hou. E ho'āʻo mau i ka naʻauao o kāu liona liʻiliʻi: ʻo ke aʻo ʻana i nā ʻīlio ʻīlio kūpono e like me nā mea pāʻani ʻīlio a i ʻole nā pāʻani honi.
ʻO ka hoʻonaʻauao a me ka mālama ʻana i ka Lowchen
He mea nui ka nānā pono ʻana no nā hoa liʻiliʻi ʻehā wāwae, ʻaʻole ʻoe e mālama i kāu Lowchen i loko o ke kūlanakauhale a i ʻole hale ʻāina. No ka mea ʻaʻole makemake ʻo Lowchen i ka noho hoʻokahi. Makemake lākou e hoʻolimalima i ka manawa me ʻoe a noho pū me ʻoe ma nā wahi āpau. ʻO ko lākou liʻiliʻi he mea maikaʻi: ʻaʻole pono ʻoe i nā hikes lōʻihi e mālama iā ʻoe iho. Eia nō naʻe, makemake ʻo Lowchen i ka nui o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa - hele pū nā ʻīlio makua a hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia i nā huakaʻi lōʻihi me ʻoe a i ʻole holo pū me ʻoe i kou wā e holo ai.
He mea nui ka pāʻani ʻana a me nā ʻīlio ʻē aʻe i ka poʻe Lowchen, ʻo ia ke kumu e hauʻoli ai lākou i ka noho ʻana me ka ʻīlio lua i loko o ka hale. ʻO nā liona ʻōpio i kekahi manawa ke manaʻo nui nei lākou iā lākou iho a lilo i mea hihiu loa i ka pāʻani - ʻo ia kahi e pāʻani ai ka "koa o ka liona". I kekahi manawa alakaʻi kēia i ka hōʻeha.
ʻO ka hele ʻana i ke kula ʻīlio ʻīlio he mea kūpono ia: ʻoiai ʻo Lowchens e pili pono ana i ka pilikanaka ma ke ʻano, he mea maikaʻi iā lākou ke ʻike i nā ʻīlio o nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā nui i ka wā ʻōpiopio a hoʻonui i kā lākou repertoire o ka nohona kanaka mai ka wā ʻōpiopio. Kōkua ke kula kennel i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa kumu o kāu Lowchen, ʻoiai inā ʻike ʻia ka ʻīlio ʻīlio maʻamau a maʻalahi hoʻi e hoʻomaʻamaʻa, ʻoiai ke kūpaʻa mau ʻoe.
Mālama Lowchen
Aia iā ʻoe inā makemake ʻoe e ʻoki ʻia kāu Lowchen a ʻaʻole paha. Eia nō naʻe, pono paha i nā ʻīlio ʻoki ʻoki liona i ka ʻaʻahu ʻīlio i ka hoʻoilo, a i ke kauwela e hōʻoia ʻoe ʻaʻole e puhi ʻia kāu liona. ʻO ka ʻaʻahu o kēia ʻano ʻīlio he silika a maʻemaʻe, ʻaʻole hiki ke kahe. ʻAʻohe kapa lalo o Lowchen. Pono ʻoe e palaki i kēlā me kēia lā ʻelua, no ka mea, hiki ke hili ʻia ka hulu. E nānā pono i nā puʻupuʻu hulu ma hope o nā pepeiao, ma lalo o ka ʻāʻī, a ma ka ʻāʻī. E ʻoki i kou mau bangs a me ke alahaka o kou ihu inā pono, no ka mea hiki i nā mea ʻelua ke kaupalena i ka ʻike a hoʻonāukiuki i nā maka. ʻOhi koke ka lepo a i ʻole ka hau hau i ka hulu ma nā pā o nā wāwae o Lowchen, no laila e ʻoluʻolu e ʻoki i ka lauoho lōʻihi ma ʻaneʻi i kēlā me kēia manawa. E nānā koke i nā kui: I nā ʻīlio kahiko, liʻiliʻi ka ʻeleʻele, lōʻihi loa lākou i kekahi manawa, hiki ke alakaʻi i nā ʻīlio e paʻa i nā puʻu a hōʻeha iā lākou iho. I kēia hihia, e hoʻopōkole i nā kui me kahi ʻoki kui kūikawā.
Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Lowchens he ʻīlio ikaika e hoʻomau i ka ʻeleu a hiki i ka wā ʻelemakule. ʻAʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohua i nā maʻi a ola i ka awelika o 12 a 14 mau makahiki. E hōʻoia e loaʻa iā ʻoe kāu Lowchen mai kahi mea hānai kaulana: ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, e ʻike i nā mākua ʻelua.
