IRhodesian Ridgeback intle kodwa inamandla okwenyani. Kwaye ngesizathu esihle, kuba le nto izingelayo le nja iphantse ibe yinto engakholelekiyo!
Ngandlel’ ithile, iRhodesian Ridgeback yeyona nto ibalaseleyo phakathi kweentlobo zezinja: uya kuziqonda ngoko nangoko, nokuba awuzange ujongane nenzala yaseMzantsi Afrika ngaphambili. I-trademark yayo kunye ne-namesake ngumcu woboya emqolo okhula kwelinye icala elichasene noboya bonke.
Kodwa izinja ezino “Ridge” azimi ngaphandle nje. Bagqalwa njengabazithembileyo kakhulu, abakrelekrele, abalungeleleneyo, abatyekele ebantwini, nabanyanisekileyo, kodwa abathobi nangayiphi na indlela.

Kumfanekiso wethu wohlobo, sishwankathele lonke ulwazi olubalulekileyo malunga nenzala: ukusuka kwinkangeleko kunye nomlingiswa ukuya ekukhulisweni, ukhathalelo kunye nempilo.
Ikhangeleka njani iRhodesian Ridgeback?
Olona phawu lubalaseleyo lweRidgebacks ngokucacileyo lunwele ngasemva. I-crest ibaleka ngokulinganayo ukuya kumqolo ukusuka emagxeni ukuya kwisiseko somsila. I-ridge eneneni sisiphene sonyango sokuzalwa. Ibangelwa (kakhulu) uhlobo oluthambileyo lwe-dermal sinus, okt umngxuma esikhumbeni. Kuba umgca omfutshane uthathwa ngokuba "mhle ngokubonakalayo", ibithandwa kakhulu ekufuyeni ukusukela ngoko. Nangona kunjalo, kukho amantshontsho azalwa ngaphandle kolu phawu lubonakalayo.
Umzimba wezinja unamandla, kunye nemisipha ebonakalayo ngokucacileyo kunye nesifuba esibanzi, esine-arched. Intloko ibanzi inomlomo omde, onamandla kunye neendlebe zefloppy ezivalelekileyo. Idyasi emfutshane, eshinyeneyo, negudileyo yohlobo lwenja nayo iyamangalisa. Ifumaneka kwimithunzi emihle yengqolowa ekhanyayo kwingqolowa ebomvu. Ngokubanzi, inkangeleko yezinja kufuneka ikhanyise amandla, ubuhle, kunye ne-agility, ehambelana nexesha labo elidlulileyo njengeenkomo kunye nezinja zokuzingela.
Inde kangakanani iRhodesian Ridgeback?

Inzima kangakanani iRhodesian Ridgeback?
Ngaphandle kobukhulu bazo, iiRidgebacks zinesakhiwo esincinci. Oku kubonakala kubunzima babo: amadoda kufuneka alinganise umyinge we-36 kg kunye nabasetyhini 32 kg.
Iba neminyaka emingaphi iRhodesian Ridgeback?
Umndilili wobomi beRidgebacks umalunga neminyaka elishumi. Oku kuyafana nezinye iintlobo zeenja ezinkulu. Ngempilo entle kunye nenkathalo, izinja ezintle zinokuphila ukuya kuthi ga kwiminyaka elishumi elinesibini.
Ngowuphi umlinganiswa okanye indalo enaye iRhodesian Ridgeback?
Ubume be-Ridgeback bubunjwe zizinto zayo ezidlulileyo njengenja ekhutheleyo kwaye ezingisayo ekuzingeleni kwindawo eyinkqantosi kunye nendle yasendle eMzantsi Afrika. Ukrelekrele, uyazithemba, ukulungele ukufunda yaye ulungelelene. Kwangaxeshanye, ubuthathaka kakhulu kwaye unentloko enenkani.
Ukuba inja inikwe umsebenzi oyithandayo kwaye uyawuqonda, uziphosa emsebenzini ogcwele amandla kunye nentshiseko. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba umsebenzi awunangqiqo kwi-Ridgeback, uya kuxhathisa kwaye ngokuzithandela ahambe ngendlela yakhe.
Inja ithathwa njengobungane kakhulu kwaye inothando kusapho lwayo ngelixa igcinwe kwaye ikrokrela abantu abangabazi nezinja. Uthathwa ngokuba unemithambo-luvo eyomeleleyo kwaye akakho ndlongondlongo kunye nomda we-stimulus ophakathi. Noko ke, akalibazisi ukukhusela abo bamnyamekelayo kwiimeko eziyingozi, kwanaxa kukho ugonyamelo kwiimeko zongxamiseko.
Ithuku lakhe lokuzingela nalo linamandla ngokwentelekiso kwaye linokuvela kwiimeko ezingalindelekanga. Unyanisekile kwaye uyathandeka kubakhathaleli bakhe, kodwa akathobeki nangayiphi na indlela. Inja ngokuqinisekileyo inekratshi layo kwaye ayifuni ukuhamba kunye nesigqibo ngasinye "esingenangqondo" kuyo.
Ivela phi iRhodesian Ridgeback?
Ukuzithemba nokuzingca kweRhodesian Ridgeback kuhambelana kakuhle nembali yemvelaphi yayo kumazantsi eAfrika. Kwanangaphambi kobukoloniyali belizwekazi, ookhokho baseRidgeback babefuywe ngokuyinxenye ngabemi bomthonyama kwaye basetyenziselwa ukuzingela nokukhusela. I-characification ridge emqolo nayo iphuma kwezi zinyanya.
Xa uMzantsi Afrika wawulawulwa ngenkulungwane ye-17, amakoloniyali awayezingela ayenehlombe ngeempawu kunye nempilo eyomeleleyo yezinja ezinkulu zaseAfrika. Baqalisa ukuzala izinja zabo ababeze nazo. Phakathi kwazo kwakukho inzala yeenja ezifana neGreat Danes, Terriers, kunye neGreyhounds. Oku kufanele “kudala” inja eqhelene nemozulu embi yaseMzantsi Afrika.

Ixabisa malini iRhodesian Ridgeback?
Izinja ezinkulu, ezintle zinqabile eJamani xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iintlobo zezinja kwaye inani labafuyi liyalawuleka. Yiyo loo nto amantshontsho eJamani enokuzingca ngexabiso eliphakathi kwe-1,500 yee-euro kunye ne-2,000 yee-euro. Kudla ngokufuneka ngakumbi.
Ukuba iinjana zisabukeka, zincinci, kwaye zigcina indawo ekuqaleni, kufuneka uhlale ubeke iliso kubungakanani bezinja zabantu abadala kwaye uzilungiselele ngokwezimali oku. Ukutya, izixhobo zokunyamekela, ibhokisi yezothutho efanelekileyo ukuba kuyimfuneko, iindleko kwi-vet, kunye namathoyizi ahlafunwayo angenakubalwa (kwaye kungekuphela nje iintsana) kufuneka ubale ngesamba esicocekileyo kwiminyaka.
