ʻO ka Miniature Poodle he hoaaloha ʻehā wāwae ʻaʻole e waiho ʻia. Me kāna mea hoʻohiwahiwa a me ka hoʻohenehene ʻole, e kāhāhā ʻo ia iā ʻoe a e ʻakaʻaka iā ʻoe. Ma nā hōʻikeʻike, ma nā haʻuki ʻīlio, a ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio lapaʻau ma ke kula - neʻe wiwo ʻole ka pygmy Poodle naʻauao maikaʻi loa i kēlā me kēia hana.
Hoʻomanawanui ʻole a me ka ʻiole wai maoli
ʻAʻole ʻike maopopo ʻia ke kumu o ka Poodle: mai Farani paha ia, kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo "Kanish". Hoʻohana nui ʻia kēia ʻano no ka hahai ʻana i ka ʻiole. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ke kupuna pololei ʻo ia ka ʻīlio wai Farani, a me ia i kaʻana like i kona makemake i ka wai o kēlā me kēia ʻano.
Akā, ua kaulana ʻo Poodles ʻaʻole wale me ka poʻe hahai holoholona: i ke kenekulia 17, ua lanakila nā hoaaloha ʻehā wāwae akamai i nā puʻuwai o nā aliʻi a lilo i mau ʻīlio hoa aloha. ʻO ka hoʻolohe a me ka agile, hoʻokani lākou ma nā pā circus a hoʻohauʻoli i ka lehulehu me nā ʻano hana hoʻopunipuni. I ka makahiki 1936, ua ʻike ka Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) i ka Standard and Miniature Poodles ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio ʻīlio. I kēia lā, ʻelua mau ʻelele o kā lākou ʻano: kahi dwarf a me kahi pāʻani Poodle. ʻO ka Miniature Poodle, a hiki i 45 kenimika ka nui, ʻo ia ka lua o ka Poodle nui loa.
ʻO ke ʻano o ka Poodle liʻiliʻi
I nā manawa a pau i ke ʻano maikaʻi, ʻoluʻolu, a me ka hoʻoikaika nui - ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka Miniature Poodle e hōʻike ai iā ia iho i ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā. Me ka naʻauao ma luna o ka awelika a me ka maka kūpaʻa, wikiwiki ʻo ia e hoʻopunipuni i kāna mau kahu. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole makemake ʻo ia e haʻalele iā ʻoe. Makemake ʻo ia e pāʻani, e hele wāwae i ka lā a pau. A koi pinepine ʻo ia i kēia nānā a hoʻopaʻa iā ʻoe me kona ihu. E hele pū me ʻoe i ka wā e hele wāwae ana, e holo ana, a i ʻole kaʻa uila lohi. Ma ke ʻano he hoa pāʻani maikaʻi loa no nā keiki, he aloha nui ʻo ia, akā he manaʻo ponoʻī kona.
Hoʻoulu a mālama i kahi Poodle liʻiliʻi
He ʻīlio haʻuki ka Miniature Poodle a pono i ka hoʻoikaika kino: pono ka hele lōʻihi ma ke ʻano. Akā, ua hoʻolālā ʻia no nā haʻuki ʻīlio e like me ka agility a i ʻole ka hula ʻīlio. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokūkū noʻonoʻo a hoʻohauʻoli i kāu hoa mākaukau ʻehā wāwae me nā hana ʻīlio liʻiliʻi.
Aia nō ka naʻau hahai holoholona, akā ʻaʻole ikaika a hiki ke maʻalahi me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa mau. Makemake ʻo Poodle i ka holo a hiki ʻole ke pale i ka luʻu ʻana i ka wai anuanu. Inā pili ka Poodle i ka wā ma mua—no ka laʻana, ma ke kula ʻīlio a i ʻole nā paka ʻīlio—e aʻo koke ʻo ia i ka mālama ʻana i nā malihini a me nā ʻīlio ʻē aʻe me ka mahalo. Mahalo i kona nui kūpono, hiki ke lawe pū ʻia ka Poodle me ʻoe ma nā wahi āpau.
Mālama Poodle liʻiliʻi
He paʻakikī loa ka mālama ʻana i kahi ʻaʻahu nani: ma ka liʻiliʻi i hoʻokahi manawa i ka pule, pono e hoʻopaʻa ʻia a hoʻopaʻa pono i ke kapa, no ka mea, paʻa ka lauoho lauoho i ke kapa. Pono kēia ʻano e hoʻomaʻamaʻa mau i kēlā me kēia ʻeono a ʻewalu pule. ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi ka liʻiliʻi o ka Miniature Poodle.
Nā hiʻohiʻona Poodle liʻiliʻi
Hiki i nā poodles ke loaʻa i nā maʻi maka genetic e like me ka cataracts a i ʻole PRA (progressive retinal atrophy), ʻo ia mau mea ʻelua hiki ke alakaʻi i ka nalowale o ka ʻike. Hoʻokaʻawale nā mea hānai kuleana i nā holoholona maʻi mai ka hānau ʻana.
