Kooikerhondje

Ekuqaleni, umngane omuhle onemilenze emine wayesetshenziselwa ukuzingela amadada. Kulapho igama lakhe livela khona. Thola yonke into mayelana nokuziphatha, umlingiswa, umsebenzi kanye nezidingo zokuzivocavoca, ukuqeqeshwa, nokunakekelwa kohlobo lwenja ye-Kooikerhondje kuphrofayela.

Izicukuthwane zaseSpain cishe zafika nabangane abanemibala emine abanemilenze emine eNetherlands phakathi nokubusa kwazo. Ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-17 kunemidwebo eminingi ebonisa izinja ezincane ezinjenge-spaniel ezifana kakhulu ne-Kooikerhondje yanamuhla.

Enye yezinhlobo ezindala zezinja zama-Dutch

Ekuqaleni, umngane omuhle onemilenze emine wayesetshenziselwa ukuzingela amadada. Lapha kulapho igama laso livela khona: emachibini, emaxhaphozini, emifuleni, nasezintabeni ezindala eziphukile kunemishini yokubamba izinyoni zasemanzini, okuthiwa “idada kooien”. Zihlanganisa ichibi le-koi futhi lizungezwe i-Kooi scrub, ehlinzeka ngezindawo zokuzalanisa kanye nendawo yokukhosela yasebusika yezinyoni zasemanzini. Lapha i-Kooikerhondje yathuthukiswa kanye nomzingeli, "i-Kooibas", uhlobo olukhethekile kakhulu lokuzingela. Amadada abanjwa ngamakheji namashubhu okucupha. Izinja zidlala indima "yokukhohlisa". I-Kooikerhondje igijima ingene eshubhuni yokucupha ukuze kubonakale kuphela ichopho elimhlophe lomsila ogwini. Amadada anelukuluku lokwazi ngokuvamile abona kuphela ingemuva lenja, alilandela ngokunganaki eshubhuni elimnyama lokucupha. Ekugcineni, izinyoni zigcina zisekhejini lapho “amaKooiba” ekwazi ukuzikhipha khona kalula. Kusene-“duck kooien” engaba yikhulu namuhla eNetherlands, kodwa lapho izinyoni zivaleleke khona ngokuyinhloko ukuze kwenziwe ucwaningo lwesayensi.

Kulo muzi, umngane onemilenze emine owayenakekile wayeyimvukuzane, igundane, kanye nokubamba amagundane, naye owayegada impahla yomndeni wakhe. Naphezu kwalezi zimfanelo ezinhle, lolu hlobo lwaluzocishe lufe ukube u-Baroness van Hardenbroek van Ammerstol akazange akhankasele ukulondolozwa kwalo. Wanikeza abathengisi isihluthulelo sezinwele nesithombe senja ukuze babasize bathole ezinye izilwane. Eqinisweni, umhwebi othile walandelela abathile isixhwanguxhwangu esazakhela sona ngo-1939. Injakazi yakhe “uTommie” ibhekwa njengokhokho kaKooiker wanamuhla. Ngo-1971 lolu hlobo lwaqashelwa yi-Raad van Beheer, indikimba ebusayo eNetherlands. Ukuqashelwa kwamazwe ngamazwe yi-FCI akuzange kufike kuze kube ngu-1990.

Isibalo semidlwane sikhula njalo

Akumangazi ukuthi liya ngokuya liduma lapha, futhi, njengoba ingaphandle elihle lifihla umongo okhangayo nothandeka ngokwedlulele. Ubukhulu bale nja yezinyoni ehlakaniphile nabo bukhanga kakhulu. Lokho akusho ukuthi i-Dutch Spaniel ifanele wonke umuntu. Izidingo zakhe kumele zibhekwe ukuze akwazi ukuthuthukisa isimo sakhe esijwayelekile. I-Kooikerhondje iyinja futhi izohlala iyinja esebenzayo futhi ephapheme. Ngakho-ke, naye ufuna ukuphonselwa inselelo emndenini. Uthanda uhambo lokuzidela oluhlukahlukene olunobumnandi nemidlalo eminingi. Uphinde abe nomdlandla ngemidlalo yezinja. Edlala aze aguge, ucwebezela ngokoqobo nge-joie de vivre. Sekukonke, udinga ukuzivocavoca okuningi nokuhlukahluka.

I-Kooiker isakhombisa imvelo ethile yokuzingela, engalawuleka kalula ngokuqeqeshwa okufanele. Yiqiniso, lolu hlobo luphinde luphendule ngentshiseko emisebenzini ehlobene nokuzingela njengokulandelela, ukubuyisela, noma umsebenzi wamanzi. Ukuqeqeshwa kokuzingela nakho kungenzeka. Endlini, ngomthwalo womsebenzi onengqondo, i-spaniel izolile futhi ingabonakali, kodwa futhi iqaphile futhi inesibindi; nokho, ishaya kuphela uma kunesizathu. U-Kooikerhund unamathele kakhulu emndenini wakhe.

Kudingeka ukuzwela okuningi lapho ukhulisa umngane ozwelayo onemilenze emine. Akawabekezeleli amazwi anzima, aphezulu kanye nengcindezi. Naphezu kwalokhu, ukungaguquguquki kubaluleke kakhulu, okuvumela inja ukuba ibone igunya lemvelo lomnikazi. Ukwengeza, ukuhlalisana okuhle kwe-Kooikerhondjes enamahloni ekuqaleni kubalulekile. Ngakho-ke, qiniseka ukuthi unenkulisa efanelekile enomfuyi oqotho. Ukunakekelwa komngane omuhle onemilenze emine kulula, kodwa ukuxubha njalo kuyimpoqo ukuze ijazi lingahlangani. Ngakho-ke uma ufuna inja engumngane ojabulisayo, wezemidlalo ngefomethi esebenzayo futhi unesikhathi sokuyigcina imatasa, i-Kooikerhondje iyisinqumo esihle.
