Okungenani ngenxa yemizimba yabo enemisipha, abashayisibhakela badinga isilinganiso esingaphezu kwesilinganiso sokuzivocavoca nokuhamba kakhulu nokugijima imijikelezo yokugijima ukuze banelise isifiso sokuzivocavoca. Kungcono kakhulu uma umnikazi ehlala eduze kwepaki, insimu, izimfunda, noma ihlathi noma uma inja ikwazi okungenani ukusebenzisa ingadi ukuze igijime. Njengoba izwela emakhazeni, umbambi kufanele akugweme ukuphola.
Umshayisibhakela uyinja ehlakaniphile: uyayithanda - futhi uyayidinga! - imisebenzi ehlukahlukene kanye nemisebenzi engagcini nje ngokubekela inselelo ngokomzimba kodwa nangokwengqondo. Lokhu kungafaka imidlalo yezinja, imidlalo yezobunhloli, noma ukulalela. Abangane abanemilenze emine bayadlala baze baguge. Phakathi kwezikhathi ezimatasa, umshayisibhakela ubuye ajabule ngezikhathi zokuphumula. I-German Boxer endala iphumula phakathi kwamahora ayi-17 nangama-20 ngosuku.
#1 Njengazo zonke ezinye izinja, i-German Boxer ikhetha ukudla inyama, nakuba iyi-omnivore.
Ikhala loboya lingadla ukudla okumanzi kakhulu kunokudla okomile okunamandla amakhulu. Ukuthi inja yakho kufanele idle ukudla okungakanani ngaso sonke isikhathi kuncike ekuhambeni kwayo, ubudala bayo kanye nesimo sayo sempilo.
#2 Ngokuyisisekelo, kungashiwo ukuthi imidlwane yondliwe kangcono izikhathi eziningana usuku lonke ngezingxenye ezincane (cishe izikhathi ezine kuya kweziyisihlanu).
Kubashayisibhakela abanempilo, abadala, ukudla okukodwa ekuseni nokukodwa kusihlwa kuthathwa njengokufanelekile.
#3 Amabhokisa ngokuvamile anempilo, kodwa njengazo zonke izinhlobo, athambekele ezinkingeni zempilo.
Akuwona wonke ama-Boxer azothola noma yiziphi lezi zifo, kodwa kubalulekile ukuqaphela lapho ucabangela lolu hlobo. Uma uthenga umdlwane, qiniseka ukuthi uthola umfuyi ohloniphekile ongakubonisa izitifiketi zezempilo zabo bobabili abazali bomdlwane.
Izitifiketi zezempilo zifakazela ukuthi inja ihlolelwe futhi yasuswa isifo esithile. Kubashayisibhakela, lindela ukukwazi ukubuka izitifiketi zezempilo ze-Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) ze-hip dysplasia (enesilinganiselo phakathi kokulungile nokungcono), i-elbow dysplasia, hypothyroidism, kanye ne-Willebrand-Jürgens syndrome, kanye ne-thrombopathy yase-Auburn University; kanye nezitifiketi ezivela kuCanine Eye Registry Foundation (CERF) ezibonisa ukuthi amehlo ajwayelekile.
Ungaqinisekisa izitifiketi zezempilo ngokubheka iwebhusayithi ye-OFA (offa.org).
