I-Inuit Dogs ngamahashe okusebenzela anomdla ukusuka emantla anokhenkce. Zijoliswe ngamandla kwipakethi kodwa zikwavulelekile ebantwini. Nangona kunjalo, ukuzigcina eSwitzerland akuqhelekanga kwaye kuyabiza, njengoko uTim Socha echaza.
"I-Nutcarsuitok" yafa ngoDisemba 6, i-2018, iqhosha leminyaka eyi-15 kunye neenyanga ezine. Wayengowokugqibela kwizinja ezintathu zama-Inuit ezigcinwe nguTimothy noSheena Socha kwilali yaseAargau eAuw kwaye wayegqalwa njengeyona ndoda indala yamaInuit. “Wawungazi ukuba banokuba neminyaka emingaphi,” utsho uSocha. Ngenxa yokuba iimeko zezinja ezisebenzayo zazinzima kangangokuba zazifa kwangethuba okanye zibulawe ngenxa yokuba izilwanyana “ezidla umhlala-phantsi” zazingakwazi ukutyiswa.
Kwilizwe labo lokuqala, iSiqithi saseBaffin esisemantla eCanada, iiNja ze-Inuit zazifuywa ekhaya njengabazingeli bebhere emhlophe, izinja ezipakishayo, kunye nezinja ezileyiweyo. Babonisa inzondelelo ephantse ibe ngaphaya kwamandla abo enoba bayatya, bayadlala okanye bayasebenza. Izinja ze-Inuit zinokuhamba ukuya kutsho kwiikhilomitha ezili-100 ngosuku kumphezulu womkhenkce ekulula ukuhamba kuwo kwaye zitsale ubunzima obufikelela kwiikhilogram ezingama-80. Izilwanyana zixinene ngokugqithisileyo kwaye zomelele ngokwakheka, zinamanqina abanzi, intloko enkulu, namazinyo amade; kananjalo banamehlo abalaseleyo.
Nabani na okhangela i-Inuit Dog kuluhlu lombutho wezinja wamazwe ngamazwe iFCI akayi kuyifumana; kuba iFCI idwelisa inzala njenge "Canadian Eskimo Dog". UTim Socha ubonisa ukuba igama elithi “Eskimo” lithetha “umntu otya inyama ekrwada” yaye sisithuko kubantu bomthonyama abangama-Inuit. Yiyo loo nto sisithi ii-Inuit Dogs. Uchaza kwakhona ukuba igama lenzala elithi Husky livela kwigama elithi Eskimo (isiFrentshi «Esquimau»), ngoko akukho nto ngaphandle
“Inja ye-Eskimo” ithetha kwaye ngoku isetyenziswa ngokubanzi ukubhekisa kwizinja zesileyi zaseNordic (bona ibhokisi eNxulumene Nenzala).
Ukuzilolonga okuninzi, Inyama, kunye naMafutha
"Kodwa ekuphela kwe-husky yiNja ye-Inuit," utshilo uSocha. Ngokungafaniyo ne-husky, unamehlo amdaka, kungekhona i-blue-gray okanye ithoni ezimbini. Ukongeza, ii-Inuit Dogs zikrelekrele kakhulu kwaye zinolwimi lwazo. Azikhonkothi ngendlela efanayo nezinja eziqhelekileyo kodwa zineentlobo ngeentlobo zeengoma ukusuka ekugqumeni, ukukhefuzela ukuya ekubhomboleni. Izinja ze-Inuit ngokwenene ziyingcuka kunenja, utsho umthonyama waseMelika, kwaye unokuva oko kwaye ukubone kwindlela yabo yokuziphatha.
UTimothy Socha wayechukumisekile zizilwanyana ezinoboya obungqingqwa, obumatyholo xa wayehamba kuhambo lwakhe lokuqala oluya eSpitsbergen ngowe-1999. “Awukwazi ukwenza uhambo olunje ngaphandle kompu neqela lenja,” utsho. "Ndizithande kakhulu ii-Inuit Dogs, ndifuna eyam." Wayesazi kakuhle ukuba izinja zeNordic azikho kwiflethi yaseSwitzerland. “Ndithathe ikhefu ndasebenzela umhloli welizwe uPaul Schurke kangangeenyanga ezintathu njengenkokeli yohambo oluncedisayo ukuze ndiqonde ngcono indlela yokujongana nezinja zama-Inuit.”
Ukubuyela eSwitzerland, owayeneminyaka engama-53 ubudala wakha indlu enkulu yezinja zakhe ezintathu, iimazi ezimbini kunye nenkunzi "Nutcarsuitok", ethetha "leyo inamandla amakhulu". Noko ke, umnini wenja kwakufuneka aqinisekise ukuba izinja zifumana umthambo owaneleyo kunye nokutya okukumgangatho ophezulu. «Inyama kunye namafutha ngaphezu kwazo zonke. Okanye ngamanye amaxesha isalmon, nentwana yerayisi.” USocha uzivelisela ngokwakhe uninzi lokutya kuba ukutya okomileyo okufumaneka ngokurhweba akululungelanga olu hlobo. Ayizozilwanyana zasekhaya eziqhelekileyo, kodwa zizinja zamahlakani kwiimeko ezinzima kakhulu. "Awunakuzisebenzisa njengezinja zokukhusela okanye zokugada, kuba ii-Inuit Dogs zizinja zabantu abangahlali phantsi kwaye abanayo impahla." Ngenxa yoko, babengenakuze bafunde ukukhusela nantoni na.
Ngonaphakade Unyanisekile kwiPakethi
Nangona kunjalo, uTimothy Socha kwafuneka alumke xa edibana nezinye izinja. Izinja ze-Inuit zibona zonke ezinye izinja njengeziphantsi. Kufuneka uyiqaphele le nyaniso ukuba ufuna ukugcina uhlobo. Ubalisa ngendlela awayesoloko esebenzisa ngayo inqwelo enamavili ama-3 nezinja ezazinokutsala ngayo ehlathini kwakusasa okanye ezinzulwini zobusuku ukuze ziphephe ukudibana nezinye izinja. Ngethamsanqa akuzange kubekho zingxaki ngenja yommelwane uBernie, i-Appenzeller engenise kwasekuqaleni.
Izinja ze-Inuit zijolise kakhulu kwi-pack-oriented - ngenxa yesi sizathu, akufuneki zigcinwe zodwa - kwaye zihlala kwizakhiwo ezicacileyo ze-hierarchical. “Enye yinja yomphathi, elawulwa ngokucacileyo yaye akuyomfuneko ukuba isoloko isiliwa,” itsho ingcali yama-Inuit. Kubalulekile ukuba inja nganye ibe nendawo yayo yokulala neyokutya. Kwaye akufanele wenze iphutha lokunika isilwanyana esisezantsi ibhiskithi kuqala, kungenjalo, kuya kubakho ingxaki. “Ziinkokeli. Ndikwazile ukufunda okuninzi kubo, ngakumbi njengomfundisi-ntsapho,” utsho umqhubi wesikolo uSocha, ophethe isikolo somculo eRotkreuz AG.
Kodwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo, utsalwa ukusuka e-Aargau ukuya kwi-Arctic, apho ahamba khona kukhenketho olukhokelwayo entlango - ehamba kunye neeNja ezithandekayo ze-Inuit, ngamanye amaxesha ezikhala kunye neengcuka.
