ʻAʻole hiki i nā Shetland Sheepdogs ke hōʻole i ko lākou pilina me Rough Collies. Akā ʻoi aku lākou ma mua o kahi mana liʻiliʻi o Lassie. Maikaʻi a naʻauao, he mau hoa kūpaʻa ʻo Shelties ma nā hikes a me ka ʻoliʻoli e komo i nā haʻuki ʻīlio. ʻO ko lākou ʻano maʻalahi e lilo lākou i ʻīlio ʻohana maikaʻi loa.
ʻOi aku ma mua o kahi Collie liʻiliʻi
ʻO ka Shetland Sheepdog, a i ʻole ʻo Sheltie no ka pōkole, he kamaʻāina ʻo ia i ka mokupuni ʻo Shetland. ʻO nā holoholona liʻiliʻi e like me Shetland ponies a me nā hipa Shetland e ulu maikaʻi i ka ʻino o nā mokupuni. No laila pono ka poʻe mahiʻai i kahi ʻīlio hānai liʻiliʻi a me kahi ʻīlio hana agile. Ua manaʻo ʻia he mamo ʻo Shelties mai ke keʻa ma waena o Border Collie a me kahi ʻīlio Greenland. 'Ōlelo lākou ua pili pū nā collies - ua ʻike ʻia kēia e ka like. I ka makahiki 1909, ua hoʻokumu ka poʻe hoihoi i ka Shetland Collie Club me ka manaʻo e hoʻohua i kahi mana liʻiliʻi o ka Collie. ʻO kēia hoʻi, ua hoʻoikaika i ke kū'ē ʻana mai nā mea hānai Collie, no laila ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia ka pua e ka British Kennel Club a hiki i ʻelima mau makahiki ma hope. Mālama ʻia ʻo Shelties ma ke ʻano he mau hoa a me nā ʻīlio hānai. ʻIke pinepine ʻia lākou i nā haʻuki ʻīlio e like me ka agility. ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o 37 kenimika no nā kāne a me 35.5 kenimika no nā wahine. ʻAʻole makemake ʻia ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana ma mua o ʻelua a me ka hapa kenimika. Hana ʻia nā ʻīlio hipa Shetland i ka sable, tricolor, blue merle, ʻeleʻele a keʻokeʻo, a ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele.
ʻO Sheltie Personality
He mamao loa nā shelties mai nā ʻīlio ʻūhā, akā ʻo nā ʻīlio hana ikaika. Aʻo wikiwiki a maʻalahi lākou. Ma luna o nā mea a pau, makemake ka Shetland Sheepdog e ʻoluʻolu i kāna kanaka a makemake e puni iā ia i ka lā a pau - aia nā mea āpau no kahi ʻīlio liʻiliʻi. E like me nā ʻīlio hānai, he paepae haʻahaʻa ko Shelties. ʻO kēia i kekahi manawa ke alakaʻi iā lākou me ka hauʻoli e hōʻike a me ka ʻōlelo. He mau ʻīlio koʻikoʻi kēia e hōʻike ana i ke aloha nui i ko lākou kahu. Ua mālama mua ʻia lākou i nā malihini, kahi e lilo ai lākou i mau kiaʻi home a me nā pā hale.
Hoʻomaʻamaʻa a mālama ʻana i ka Shetland Sheepdog
ʻO ka makemake e ʻoluʻolu a me ka noʻonoʻo e hoʻolilo iā Sheltie i ʻīlio maʻalahi e hoʻomaʻamaʻa. Akā: ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke mālama i ke koʻikoʻi nui i kāna hānai ʻana. He kūpono nā shelties no nā poʻe makemake i nā hana waho. Inā mālama ʻoe i kāu Shetland Sheepdog i ka noʻonoʻo a me ke kino, hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama iā ia i loko o ka hale. I ka wā e hānai ai i kahi ʻīlio, e mālama pono iā ia he mau manawa hoʻomaha. Ma kēia ʻano e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe kahi ʻīlio pae-poʻo e hui pū me nā leʻaleʻa āpau a ʻae ʻia ke kāhea ʻole ʻia kahi "hana".
Mālama ʻīlio hipa Shetland
ʻO ka Shetland Sheepdog he ʻīlio lauoho lōʻihi me ka ʻaʻahu nani a me ke kapa palupalu. Eia naʻe, maʻalahi ka mālama ʻana. Palaki i kou Sheltie i hoʻokahi pule. Pono e nānā pono i nā pepeiao a me nā underarms, kahi e hoʻopili ai ke kapa. Ma ʻaneʻi, ʻoki pinepine a ʻokiʻoki paha i nā puʻupuʻu i waho o ka hulu.
Ola Sheltie
Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Shetland Sheepdog he ʻano ikaika. Eia naʻe, ʻike ʻia nā hemahema hoʻoilina e like me HD (hip dysplasia), MDR1 defect (drug intolerance), a me CEA (collie eye anomaly) i kekahi manawa. No laila e kūʻai i kāu Sheltie mai kahi mea hānai kaulana.
