Ekuqaleni, igama elithi “umalusi” lalibhekwa njengenja yomalusi. Wasiza umalusi elusa umhlambi. Ngakho waqinisekisa ukuthi akukho silwane esibalekela umhlambi futhi avikele umhlambi, isibonelo ezimpisini. Ngakho-ke babuye babizwe ngokuthi izinja ezelusa umhlambi, izinja zemihlambi, noma izinja ezigada imihlambi.
Namuhla, lapho abantu abaningi becabanga nge-German Shepherd, bacabanga ngohlobo oluthile lwenja, i-German Shepherd. Ngamafuphi, umuntu uvame ukuthi "inja yomalusi". Indoda yazala umalusi waseJalimane ekwaluseni izinja. Lokho kwenzeka eminyakeni engaphezudlwana kwekhulu edlule.
Iyini i-German Shepherd Dog?
Iklabhu ichaze kahle ukuthi umalusi waseJalimane kufanele abukeke kanjani: inosayizi ophakathi futhi inemisipha eqinile. Akufanele ibe namanoni kuwo futhi akufanele ibonakale ixakile. Imilenze yangemuva ithatha izinyathelo ezinde ikakhulukazi. Yingakho egijima ngesivinini futhi enomfutho omningi. Amahlombe akhe aphakeme kune-pelvis.
Ikhanda lakhe liqondile, isiphongo sakhe siphansi. Ikhala kumele libe mnyama. Izindlebe ziqondile. Akumele balenge phansi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuvulwa kufanele kube ngaphambili, hhayi eceleni. Umsila, ngakolunye uhlangothi, akufanele ume, kodwa ngokuvamile, uvele ulenga phansi. Ngaphansi kwezinwele, ugqoke ijazi elingaphansi eliqinile, elifudumele. Ingxenye ebalulekile yejazi kufanele ibe mnyama. Okunye okumpunga noma okunsundu nakho kuvunyelwe.
Umalusi waseJalimane kufanele abe nezinzwa ezinamandla futhi ahlale ezolile ngisho nalapho ebhekene nengozi. Ngakho akumele athuke. Lokho kudinga ukuzethemba okukhulu. Kufanele abe mnene futhi angahlaseli muntu ngokuthanda kwakhe futhi ngaphandle kwesizathu.
Abanye abelusi baseJalimane abahlangabezani nazo zonke lezi zidingo. Isibonelo, azikho neze izingane ezimhlophe. Bangafunda noma yini okufanele bayifunde. Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi umbala wabo awulungile, abavunyelwe ukubamba iqhaza emibukisweni. Futhi ababhekwa njengama-German Shepherds.
Uyini umalusi waseJalimane ofanele, noma cha?
Inja yokwelusa yaseJalimane kufanele ikwazi ukwenza imisebenzi ehlukahlukene: Kufanele ikwazi ukuphelezela abantu futhi igade noma ivikele izinto. Yingakho evame ukusetshenziswa ngamaphoyisa, kodwa namasiko ngisho namasosha.
Namuhla futhi iyinja yokusesha evame kakhulu. Incane kune-St. Bernard eyayisetshenziswa esikhathini esidlule. Yingakho ekwazi ukumba kangcono indlela yakhe phakathi kwezixuku zeqhwa futhi asindise abantu.
Umalusi akayona ngempela inja yasekhaya. Akalona ithoyizi elithandeka futhi udinga ukuzivocavoca okuningi. Uyadlala impela esemncane. Njengoba ekhula, ubonakala engathi sína.
