He aha ke ʻano o ke ola o ka ʻīlio hōʻikeʻike?

E hui me Susan, Libby a me Echo

ʻO Susan McCoy, ka Pelekikena o ka Glen Falls Kennel Club, New York, ka mea nona nā ʻīlio hōʻike mua ʻelua. ʻO kāna Scottish Setters he XNUMX makahiki ʻo Libby a me XNUMX makahiki ʻo Echo.

Ua makemake mua ʻo Susan i nā hōʻike ʻīlio ma hope o ka nānā ʻana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Big Red a Walt Disney i ka makahiki 1962. He kiʻiʻoniʻoni kēia e pili ana i kahi hōʻike ʻīlio koʻikoʻi a me kahi keiki makua ʻole mālama ʻole i hoʻopakele i kahi Irish Setter i nalowale i ka wao nahele. ʻO ke aloha o Susan i ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni i hoʻoikaika iā ia e kiʻi i kāna ʻīlio mua, ʻo Bridget the Irish Setter.

"ʻAʻole ʻo Bridget he ʻīlio hōʻike piha piha, akā he pipi maikaʻi ʻo ia," wahi a Susan. "Ua lawe au iā ia i nā papa a hōʻike i kona mākaukau hoʻolohe, a ua alakaʻi iaʻu e komo i ka Kennel Club."

Ua hauʻoli ʻo Bridget, e like me nā ʻīlio he nui i ka hui o nā ʻīlio a me nā kānaka ʻē aʻe, i ka hōʻikeʻike. Wahi a Susan, ua hoʻoikaika ka hana aʻo i ka pilina ma waena o lākou.

"Akā, hoʻolilo ʻoe i ka manawa nui me kāu ʻīlio," wahi āna. “A pono ʻo ia e launa pū me ʻoe ma ke kahua. Pono e kālele iā ʻoe. No nā holoholona makemake iā ia, ʻo ia ka manawa pāʻani. Makemake lākou i ka pane maikaʻi a me ka mahalo i loaʻa iā lākou.

ʻOiai ke hele nei ka hapa nui o nā holoholona hōʻikeʻike i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa nui, ʻōlelo ʻo Susan ʻaʻole pono. "ʻAʻole wau e ʻōlelo he mea nui loa ia," wahi āna. "Pono ʻoe e aʻo i kāu ʻīlio e hele maikaʻi ma luna o ke kaula, e mālama pono i ka hele ʻana, e hoʻomanawanui i ka nānā ʻia ʻana a hoʻopā ʻia e nā malihini, a me ke ʻano maʻamau."

He aha nā ʻīlio e pono ai ke aʻo? E kāhāhā ka poʻe i hele i ke kula ʻīlio i ka ʻike ʻana e pili ana ia i nā kumu kumu.

"ʻAʻole pono lākou e ʻike i ke kauoha noho," wahi āna. - A i ʻole ke kauoha "kū".

ʻAʻole hiki i kēlā me kēia ʻīlio ke lilo i ʻīlio hōʻike

ʻO Libby, he poʻokela hōʻikeʻike, ua hoʻomaha loa ia mai ke kahua. Akā "hana" ʻo ia i kēia manawa ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio therapy: hele mau ʻo ia me Susan i nā kula a me nā home hānai.

“Kokua ʻo ia i nā keiki e aʻo i ka heluhelu,” wahi a Susan. "A hāʻawi i ka hōʻoluʻolu i ka poʻe pono."

I ka manawa like, wahi a Susan, pono e lilo ʻo Echo i ʻīlio hōʻike.

Akā ma hope o kekahi mau hōʻike, ua ʻike ʻo Susan ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā Echo ke ʻano o ia mau hoʻokūkū.

"He ʻīlio maikaʻi loa ʻo Echo, a ua hoʻolālā wau e hōʻike iā ia ma nā hōʻikeʻike, akā no ia ua lilo ia i mea hoʻokaumaha loa," wehewehe ʻo ia. – Ua ʻoluʻolu ʻole ʻo ia. He nui wale: nui nā ʻīlio, nui nā kānaka, nui ka walaʻau. A he hewa ka waiho ʻana iā ia i kēlā mau hoʻokolohua no ka mea makemake maoli wau. "

Ua hauʻoli ʻo Susan i nā hōʻikeʻike āna e hele pinepine ai ma ke ʻano he pelekikena o ka Glen Falls Kennel Club. Nui kona hauʻoli i ka nānā ʻana i nā ʻōpio e aʻo i ka hoʻokūkū.

"Manaʻo wau e aʻo ana i nā keiki e lilo i poʻe mālama kuleana, aʻo iā lākou i ka hilinaʻi a me ka poise," wahi āna. "A he mea leʻaleʻa no ke keiki a maikaʻi hoʻi no ko lākou pilina me ka ʻīlio a me kā lākou paʻa."

Nā hemahema o ke ola hōʻikeʻike

"Akā naʻe, aia kekahi ʻaoʻao i ke ola o kahi ʻīlio hōʻikeʻike," wahi a Susan. Pono nā hōʻikeʻike i kahi huakaʻi lōʻihi, ʻōlelo ʻo ia, a ke piʻi aʻe nei ke kumukūʻai o ka hele ʻana iā lākou, kahi e hoʻolei ai i nā mea hoʻokūkū.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i nā ʻīlio no ka hōʻike a lanakila i ka hōʻike Westminster hiki ke uku i ka mea nona ka ʻīlio i nā haneli haneli mau kālā. Ua haʻi aku kekahi o nā mea nona ka Westminster Show i ka makahiki 2006 i ka New York Times, ʻo ka huakaʻi ʻekolu makahiki i kēia lanakila, ua kūʻai ʻo ia ma kahi o $700.

A inā ʻoluʻolu ʻo Susan i ka launa pū ʻana i kēia mau hanana, aia kekahi poʻe (me ka poʻe ma Westminster Exhibition) e manaʻo nui iā lākou. No ka laʻana, nui nā mea nona nā ʻīlio hōʻike maikaʻi loa e hoʻolimalima i nā mea mālama ʻīlio ʻoihana e hele pū me kā lākou mau puaʻa e hōʻike ma mua o ka hana ʻana iā lākou iho. Hoʻolimalima kekahi i nā mea mālama pilikino.

I kēia manawa, ua hopohopo ka poʻe noiʻi a me nā mea kākoʻo olakino holoholona e pili ana i nā pilikia olakino i nā ʻīlio purebred e kū ana i nā kūlana AKC.

"I mea e hoʻokō ai i ka hiʻohiʻona i makemake ʻia, huli pinepine nā kahu hānai i ka hānau ʻana maʻemaʻe, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka inbreeding kahi i hānai ʻia ai nā ʻohana pili pono, e like me ke kupuna wahine a me ka moʻopuna. Inā lanakila ke kāne i nā hoʻokûkû he nui, ua hānai nui ʻia ʻo ia - he hana i ʻike ʻia ʻo ka maʻi makua kāne kaulana - a ʻo kona mau genes, olakino a ʻaʻole paha, pālahalaha ʻia e like me ke ahi ahi a puni ka ʻohana. ʻO ka hopena, ʻaʻole i hoʻonui wale nā ​​ʻīlio purebred i ka nui o nā maʻi hoʻoilina, akā hoʻonui pū i nā pilikia olakino ma ka laulā, ”kākau ʻo Claire Maldarelli no Scientific American.

ʻAʻole ia he mea huna e hele lōʻihi loa ana kekahi poʻe hoʻokūkū i kā lākou ʻimi e lanakila. Ua uhi ʻo Vanity Fair i nā kikoʻī i ka make ʻana o kahi ʻīlio poʻokela 2015 nona ka poʻe nona ka manaʻo ua make ia ma ka hōʻike ʻīlio hanohano loa o ʻEnelani, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki ke hōʻoia ʻia kēia.

“He haʻuki leʻaleʻa ia!”

No nā mea maʻalahi e like me Susan, ka mea makemake wale i nā holoholona, ​​ʻo ka hōʻike he ala e hoʻolimalima manawa me kāu holoholona, ​​e hālāwai me nā poʻe like like, e ʻike i nā ʻīlio hoihoi a aʻo hou e pili ana iā lākou.

Hōʻike ka poʻe pā i ka hoihoi i ka nānā ʻana i ka poʻe nona ka huluhulu e pili ana i ka lauoho o kā lākou mau holoholona, ​​​​ka ʻike ʻana i nā ʻano hou ("Ua ʻike anei ʻoe i ka American Hairless Terrier?"), a pili paha i ka mea lanakila.

“He haʻuki leʻaleʻa ia,” wahi a Susan. "ʻAʻole pili kāu ʻano, he ala ia e hoʻolimalima manawa me kāu ʻīlio, e hui pū ai."

Pehea e hoʻomākaukau ai i kahi holoholona no kahi hōʻike? Inā makemake ʻoe i ka hōʻike ʻana i kāu ʻīlio, e nānā pono ʻoe i nā hōʻike i mālama ʻia ma kahi kokoke iā ʻoe. ʻAʻole like nā hōʻike a pau e like me nā mea hanohano, a hāʻawi lākou iā ʻoe i ka manawa e hōʻike ai i kāu ʻīlio punahele i kahi ʻano hoaaloha. ʻOiai inā ʻaʻole ʻoe hoihoi i ka hōʻike ʻana i kāu pipi, hiki i nā hōʻike ʻīlio ke lilo i hana leʻaleʻa ʻohana e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka manawa e aʻo ai e pili ana i nā ʻīlio like ʻole ma kou wahi, a he manawa kūpono ʻole ia e hoʻolilo i kahi lā i hoʻopuni ʻia e ka nui o nā ʻīlio. nā ʻīlio!
