Xoloitzcuintli: ʻIke Lai ʻIlio

ka xoloitzcuintli (pōkole: xolo, pū kekahi: ʻO Mexican ʻO ka ʻīlio lauoho ʻole ) mai Mekiko mai a no ka hui o nā ʻīlio "primitive". ʻO kona hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi kona lauoho ʻole. Manaʻo ʻia ka Xolo he mea paʻakikī, hiki ke hoʻololi, a naʻauao. He kiaʻi maikaʻi loa a mākaukau loa e pale aku. Ma muli o ka maʻalahi o ka mālama ʻana a me ka pilikia ʻole i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, ua kūpono hoʻi ia e like me ka ʻīlio hale a i ʻole he ʻīlio hoa no ka poʻe me ka maʻi ʻīlio.

Kumu a me ka mōʻaukala

ʻO ka Xoloitzcuintli ʻaʻole ia he mea hou i kēia manawa, akā kekahi o nā mea kahiko loa nā ʻīlio puaʻa ma ka ʻāina ʻo ʻAmelika. ʻO ka poʻe Aztec a me Toltec kahiko i mahalo i ka Xolo - akā ma ke ʻano he mōhai a me ka ʻono. Ma ke ʻano he mau ʻelele o ke akua Xolotl, ua hele pū nā Xolos me nā ʻuhane o ka mea i make i ko lākou wahi hoʻomaha mau loa. I kēia lā, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻano laʻa loa ma ka honua.

Keʻano

ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona ʻike maopopo loa o ka Xolo he lauoho ʻole. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka lauoho ma ke poʻo a me ka piko o ka huelo i kekahi manawa. ʻO ka mea kupanaha i kona helehelena, ʻo ia kona mau “pepeiao ʻeke” lōʻihi a me nā maka ʻalemona. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona kūikawā o ka Xolo ʻo ia hoʻi ka nele o nā molars mua a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka ʻūhū ʻana ma o ka ʻili a no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke pants.

Hiki ke ʻeleʻele ka waihoʻoluʻu o ka ʻili, ʻeleʻele-hina, ʻeleʻele, a keleawe paha, me ka ʻulaʻula a i ʻole ke kala kope, e ʻike pū ana. He ʻulaʻula ka Xoloitzcuintli hānau hou, ma hope o hoʻokahi makahiki e loaʻa ai kona malu hope. Hiki i nā Xolos ʻulaʻula ke ʻulaʻula, ka lā, a ʻeleʻele paha i ke kauwela.

Ua hānai ʻia ka Xoloitzcuintli ʻekolu papa nui: ʻO ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi he 25 - 35 cm ke kiʻekiʻe, ʻo ka nui waena he kiʻekiʻe poʻohiwi o 35 - 45 cm a hiki i ka Xoloitzcuintli nui i 45 - 60 cm.

Nature

He ʻīlio mālie a mālie ka Xoloitzcuintli. E like me nā ʻīlio mua, ʻaʻole lākou e ʻā. He ʻoliʻoli, hoʻolohe, a mālamalama. He mea kānalua ia i nā malihini a no laila he ʻīlio kiaʻi maikaʻi. Manaʻo ʻia he naʻauao, paʻakikī, a maʻalahi hoʻi e aʻo.

No ka lauoho ʻole, he ʻīlio maʻalahi loa ʻo ia e mālama, maʻemaʻe, a aneane ʻole ʻono ʻole. No laila, hiki ke mālama maikaʻi ʻia kēia ʻano i loko o kahi keʻena a kūpono i ka ʻīlio hoa no ka poʻe i loaʻa i ka maʻi ʻīlio a i ʻole ka poʻe kīnā i pilikia ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe maʻamau.

ʻAʻole koi ʻo Xolos i kahi hoʻoikaika kino akā makemake lākou i nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa a me nā hana ma waho, a he mea kupanaha ka hoʻomanawanui ʻana i ka hau a me ke anu i ka wā e neʻe ai.
