Ngaba inja yam ilumkile ngakumbi okanye isisidenge? Abanye abanini bezinja bazibuza lo mbuzo xa abahlobo babo abanemilenze emine behamba ngengqondo. I-PetReader ichaza ukuba zeziphi iintlobo zeenja ezingabonanga krelekrele kwaye kutheni kungekabikho zinja okanye iintlobo.
Mhlawumbi ukhe wayiva le nto ngaphambili okanye wacinga, "Inja yam isisidenge ngokwenene." Amaxesha amaninzi ukuziphatha komhlobo onemilenze emine akunanto yakwenza nobukrelekrele bakhe – asimqondi nje ngokwembono yomntu.
UStanley Coren, unjingalwazi wezengqondo kunye nombhali we-Intelligence of Dogs, uqinisekile ukuba izinja nazo zinobukrelekrele. Njengabantu, iyinkimbinkimbi kwaye inokwahlulwa kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo - umzekelo, kubantu, ingqiqo inokumiselwa ngokusekelwe ekuqondeni amanani kunye nolwimi, imemori, okanye ukucinga okunengqiqo. Kuthekani ngezinja?
Kwinqaku lePsychology Namhlanje, uStanley Coren wachaza iindawo apho abahlobo abanemilenze emine banokuba nobulumko:
- Ubukrelekrele bemvelo: izinja zenza njani imisebenzi apho inzala yazo yayifuyelwe ekuqaleni?
- Ubukrelekrele obuguqukayo: inja ikwazi kangakanani?
- Ubukrelekrele bomsebenzi kunye nokuthobela: Inja ukuthobela nokusabela kakuhle kangakanani kwimiyalelo?
UStanley Coren uthi indlela yesithathu yobukrelekrele inokulinganiswa ngokukodwa. Ukuze ufumanise ukuba zihlakaniphile kangakanani iintlobo zeenja ezahlukeneyo kule ndawo, wabuza abagwebi be-American Kennel Association kunye neCanadian Kennel Association, abavavanya ukuthobela inja kukhuphiswano, ukuba bazalise iphepha lemibuzo. Kuyo, kufuneka – ngokwesiseko samava abo – bayixabise intobelo yeentlanga ngeentlanga.
Ngokutsho kukaKoren, abagwebi abaphantse babe ngama-200 babefana ngendlela emangalisayo kwiireyithingi zabo. I-190 kwi-199 yabaphenduli babeka i-Border Collie kwindawo yeshumi eliphezulu. I-Afghan Hound, kwelinye icala, yawela kwenye yeendawo ezilishumi ezisezantsi kwi-121 yazo.
Ngokusekwe kolu kulinganisa, uKoren uqulunqe olu luhlu lulandelayo lweentlobo zezinja “ezingenabukrelekrele kangako”:
I-10 ephezulu kakhulu "yeSiphukuphuku" seNja yokuzala
- Indawo yokuzingela yaseAfghan
- IBasenji
- Bulldog
- Chow-chow
- Greyhound
- Igazi
- IPekingese
- Beagle
- Umkhulu uDane
- Isound Hound
Nangona kunjalo, musa ukuba nomsindo ngoku ukuba unenye yeenja zeenja. Ngenxa yokuba zijongwa njengezikrelekrele kangako xa kufikwa kumba wokuthobela, kakade, akuthethi ukuba izinja ziziziyatha-umzekelo, ezinye zazifuyelwe nje ukwenza imisebenzi engasabalulekanga kuthi kubomi banamhlanje bemihla ngemihla, njengesixeko. inja.
Umsebenzi wokuqala we-Afghan Hound - ngokwale ndlela yokulinganisa inja "esisidenge" - kukubona, ukugxotha nokubulala amabhadi kunye ne-antelopes. Ayisiyiyo kanye le nto siyicelayo kwizilwanyana zethu zasekhaya namhlanje. Kwaye i-Beagle inokugqalwa "njengesidenge", kodwa ngokukodwa inothando kunye nentlalontle.
Ngenzeka, uStanley Coren kamva waphinda wavavanya iindidi zeenja ngokobungakanani. Kwavela ukuba izinja zeentlobo eziphakathi kunye nezikhulu zaziqwalaselwa ngokukodwa zihlakaniphile. Kwelinye icala, iintlobo zezinto zokudlala kwakunye nezincinci nezinkulu ngokukodwa iintlobo zezinja zaphelela kudidi olusezantsi.
Ubukrelekrele beNja buxhomekeke kuvavanyo
Nangona kunjalo, izinto zinokubonakala zahluke kakhulu ukuba, endaweni yokuthobela, eminye imiba yobukrelekrele bezilwanyana ibiphandwa. “Ikrelekrele kangakanani inja yakho kuxhomekeke kuvavanyo,” utsho uNicholas Dodman.
“Ngandlel’ ithile, ukuzimela mhlawumbi kusengqiqweni ngakumbi kunokuthobela,” uqukumbela ngelitshoyo ugqirha wezilwanyana.
