I-Coton de Tulear – Inja Kakotini Engavamile yaseMadagascar

ICoton de Tuléar encane (ngesiNgisi “Cotton from Toliara”) yaseMadagascar ingeyamaBichon. Izinja ezincane ezinoboya obumhlophe bakakotini zithambile futhi zithambile ngoba azinalo ijazi langaphansi. Ziye zanda kuphela e-Europe nase-USA eminyakeni engu-20 edlule. Kunezinto eziningi okufanele uzicabangele lapho ukhetha umfuyi.

Ukuvela Kwenja Kakotini

I-hound kakotini, njengezinja eziningi ze-bichon, imhlophe noma imhlophe nge-tinge encane. Uboya obunjengokotini buthambile ikakhulukazi futhi bunamagagasi kancane - njengembali kakotini. Njengoba i-undercoat ingekho ngokuphelele, ama-lapdog anamakhala amnyama ajabule ngamajakhethi ezinja ekuhambeni okude ebusika. Ukuze izinwele ekhanda zingawambozi amehlo, abanikazi abaningi basebenzisa i-braid noma bathathe njalo umngane wabo onemilenze emine kumlungiseleli wezinja. Imisipha, izici zobuso, kanye nokuma komzimba akulula ukuqaphela ngaphansi koboya bekotini obumpunga.

Ubukhulu nezilinganiso

Amaduna afinyelela ukuphakama ekubuneni okuphakathi kuka-26 no-28 cm, ama-bitches mancane kakhulu futhi alinganisela u-25 cm lapho abuna. Ngakho-ke, i-Coton de Tuléar iyinja yangempela ye-Teacup. Noma kunjalo, ama-bitches angaba namakhilogremu angu-5 kanti abesilisa bafinyelela ku-6 kilogram. Izibuni zisesilinganisweni sika-2:3 kubude obuphelele bomzimba.

Kulezi zici zohlobo lapho abalimi bezinja zikakotini bezinaka

• Uma kubhekwa ngaphambili, ikhanda limbozwe kancane ngokuma okugcizelelwe kancane kanye ne-zygomatic arch ethuthukisiwe. Amehlo ayindilinga, ahlukene kakhulu ayamangaza. Unqenqema lwejwabu leso luhambisana nekhala, eligcina liqonde nebhuloho lekhala futhi limnyama noma libe nsundu. Izinwele ezimpunga ebusweni zikhula ziphakathi ukuya ezinde zilenga ebhulohweni lekhala.
• Amadlebe efloppy angamanxantathu abekwe phezulu ogebhezini lwekhanda futhi mancane kakhulu. Awukwazi neze ukuzibona kubo bonke uboya bazo. Ngokwezinga lohlobo lwe-FCI, izinwele ezimpunga noma ze-fawn zivunyelwe.
• Umzimba ubonakala nge-backline ekhonjiswe kancane kanye nentamo egcwele imisipha. I-crest ifushane futhi inemisipha futhi umugqa wephrofayela ophansi uhlotshiswe phezulu. Umzimba wonke usongwe ngezinwele zikakotini ezithambile.
• Umsila nawo mude futhi unoboya futhi ngokuvamile uthwalwa “ngenjabulo” ugobe emhlane.
• Imilenze yangaphambili nengemuva imile futhi inemisipha enzima. Ibhulukwe elide liphinde limboze izidladla zezilwane eziningi, okungaholela ezinkingeni lapho zihamba eqhweni naseqhweni.

Ingubo kakotini emhlophe ye-Coton de Tuléar

Umbala oyisisekelo woboya kufanele uhlale umhlophe, ukumaka okuncane kuphela okunezinwele ezimbalwa ezinombala we-fawn noma ezimnyama kuvunyelwe ukuzalanisa. Ezindlebeni, ukuthunga okumpunga noma okunombala we-fawn kungase kuminyene kancane. Uboya abulokothi bube nzima noma buqine, kodwa bukhula buminyene kakhulu.

Ukuzalanisa "amabala" amancane

Ukuzalanisa, ukuchezuka okuncane kusukela kuzinga lohlobo kubalulekile, kodwa izici ezibonakalayo aziyona inkinga kubanikazi abazimele. Ngokuvamile ungathola imidlwane enamaphutha okuzalanisa eshibhile kunezilwane ezifanele ukuzalanisa. Nge-Coton de Tuléar, amaphutha amaningi okuzalanisa angabalulekile ngokwezempilo aphawulwe ku-FCI:

• Amehlo akhanyayo noma amise okwe-alimondi
• Izindlebe ezimfishane ezinoboya
• I-pigmentation enamabala yanoma yiluphi uhlobo
• Ngokuvamile izinwele ezimfushane kakhulu, ezisilika noma ezigoqene
• Izivalo ezinemibala ekhanyayo, izindebe, noma ikhala

Umehluko phakathi kwezinhlobo zezinja ezifanayo

• Ama-Lowchens afika ngayo yonke imibala futhi ngokwesiko agundwa emilenzeni yangemuva, umsila (kuya phezulu), kanye nemilenze yangaphambili phansi kuze kufike emaqakaleni.
• U-Bolonka Franzuska waseRussia ugqoke ijazi lakhe elimhlophe eligoqekile.
• I-Bolonka Zwetna ne-Havanese izaliswa ngayo yonke imibala yejazi (ngaphandle komhlophe).
• I-Bichon Frize nayo imhlophe futhi inama-curls ama-corkscrew amancane.
• I-Bolognese nayo imhlophe futhi inezinwele ezigoqene. Zikhudlwana futhi zakhiwe ngobunono kunezinja zikakotini.
• Ngesi-Maltese, ijazi elimhlophe elibusilika liwela phansi kahle.

Umlando we-Coton de Tulear

Amahemuhemu azungeza ku-inthanethi ukuthi okhokho bezinja zikakotini bafika esiqhingini bevela eMadagascar ngeNkathi Ephakathi ngabaphangi kanye nokuphahlazeka kwemikhumbi endaweni. Eqinisweni, izinja ezifanayo zazigcinwa njengezinja ezingabangane emikhunjini yenkathi ephakathi ukuze zinikezwe “njengamahhala” kubathengisi nezicukuthwane. Ama-Bichon amaningi eza esiqhingini namatilosi nabaphathi baseFrance ngo-1883 lapho iFrance isimemezela njengekoloni.

Ukuphumelela kwakamuva

Kuze kube yiminyaka engamashumi amabili edlule, inja kakotini engaxutshiwe yayiseyivelakancane eYurophu nase-USA. Manje sekunabalimi abaningi kanye namakilabhu amabili aseJalimane abhekana nokuzalanisa lolu hlobo. Ngenxa yokwanda kwabantu abaningi kule minyaka engu-20 edlule, abalimi kufanele banake ngokukhethekile uhlu lozalo olunezakhi zofuzo ezinkulu futhi ngokuvamile baze bafune nakwamanye amazwe izilwane ezifanelekayo ezizalayo.

Inja Yasethangeni Enenani Elimangalisayo Lamandla

Izigaxa zikakotini ezincane zihlala zijabule, azisoli noma zinolaka, futhi zibekezelelwa kahle kakhulu. Bazivumelanisa ngokushesha futhi bazwane kahle namalungu amasha ephakethe ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa. Amakati, izilwane ezincane, nabantu abangabazi ngokushesha bathatha izinja baziyise ezinhliziyweni zabo. Imvelo enokuthula nenjabulo ye-Coton ingenye yezimpawu ezibaluleke kakhulu zohlobo.
