Amphaka a Munchkin amadziwika ndi miyendo yawo yayifupi kwambiri, yomwe idayamba chifukwa cha kusintha kwachilengedwe. Kuphatikiza apo, matupi awo ndi mutu wawo ndizofanana mofanana ndi amphaka wamba. Panabuka mikangano yambiri kuzungulira mtunduwu, chifukwa ambiri amakhulupirira kuti amphakawa ndi "olakwika."
M'malo mwake, ndi nyama zathanzi komanso zachimwemwe zomwe zilibe mavuto azaumoyo chifukwa cha miyendo yawo yayifupi ngati mitundu ina ya agalu. Munchkins si amphaka athanzi okha, amakondanso kuthamanga, kudumpha, kukwera ndikusewera monga mitundu ina. Amakhalanso okongola komanso amakonda anthu.
Mbiri ya mtunduwo
Amphaka okhala ndi miyendo yayifupi adalembedwa kuyambira 1940. Wachipatala waku Britain adanenanso mu 1944 kuti adawona mibadwo inayi ya amphaka ofupikitsa omwe amafanana ndi amphaka wamba kupatula kutalika kwa miyendo.
Mzerewu unasowa pankhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse, koma pambuyo pake panali malipoti amphaka ofanana ku America ndi USSR. Amphaka ku USSR adawonedwa ndi asayansi, ndipo adalandira dzina loti "Stalingrad kangaroos"
Mu 1983, a Sandra Hochenedel, mphunzitsi wanyimbo waku Louisiana, adawona amphaka awiri apakati akupita kwawo, akuyendetsedwa ndi galimoto ndi bulldog.
Atathamangitsa galu, adawona kuti amphaka amodzi amiyendo yayifupi, ndikumva chisoni, adapita nawo kwa iye. Adayitcha mphaka Blackberry, ndipo adayamba kukondana.
Zinali zodabwitsa kwambiri kuti theka la mphaka amene anabereka, nawonso, ali ndi zikono zazifupi. Hochenedel anapatsa mnzake mnzake, Kay LaFrance, ndipo anamutcha Toulouse. Zinachokera ku Blackberry ndi Toulouse komwe ana amakono amtunduwu adapita.
Toulouse adakula mwaulere, ndipo amakhala nthawi yayitali panja, kotero kuti posachedwa amphaka ambiri okhala ndi miyendo yayifupi adayamba kuwonekera m'derali. Poganiza kuti uwu ndi mtundu watsopano, Hochenedel ndi LaFrance adalumikizana ndi a Dr. Solveig Pfluger, woweruza ku TICA.
Adachita kafukufuku ndikupanga chigamulo: amphaka amphaka amawoneka chifukwa cha kusintha kwachilengedwe, jini lomwe limayang'anira kutalika kwa mapazi ndilocheperako ndipo mtunduwo ulibe mavuto am'mbuyo omwe agalu okhala ndi zikono zazifupi.
A Munchkins adadziwitsidwa koyamba kwa anthu mu 1991, ku chiwonetsero cha mphaka ku TICA (The International Cat Association) ku Madison Square Garden. Amateurs ovuta nthawi yomweyo adazindikira kuti mtunduwo ndi wosasinthika, chifukwa ukadakhala ndi mavuto azaumoyo.
Pambuyo pa mikangano yambiri, mu 1994, TICA idabweretsa a Munchkins mu pulogalamu yatsopano yopanga mitundu. Koma ngakhale apa sizinali zopanda manyazi, chifukwa m'modzi mwa oweruzawo adatsutsa, akunena kuti mtunduwu ndi kuphwanya malamulo a akatswiri azachipatala. Munchkins adalandira ulemu ku TICA mu Meyi 2003.
Kuphatikiza pa TICA, mtunduwo umazindikiridwanso ndi AACE (The American Association of Cat Enthusiasts), UFO (United Feline Organisation), Southern Africa Cat Council ndi Australia Waratah National Cat Alliance.
Mabungwe angapo samalembetsabe mtunduwo. Ena mwa iwo: Fédération Internationale Féline (chifukwa - wodwala chibadwa), Bungwe Lolamulira la Cat Fancy ndi Cat Fanciers 'Association.
Mu 2014, mphaka wotchedwa Liliput adaphatikizidwa ndi Guinness Book of Records ngati ocheperako padziko lapansi. Kutalika ndi mainchesi 5.25 okha kapena masentimita 13.34.
Monga mitundu yambiri yatsopano, a Munchkins adakumana ndi kukana ndi udani womwe ulipobe mpaka pano. Kutsutsana pa mtunduwu kumakhala kwakukulu kwambiri chifukwa kumadzutsa funso lamakhalidwe abwino. Kodi muyenera kubala mtundu wopunduka chifukwa cha kusintha kwa thupi?
Komabe, amaiwala kuti kusinthika kunali kwachilengedwe ndipo sikunapangidwe ndi munthu.
Amateurs akuti amphaka awa samavutika ndi zikoka zawo zapadera konse ndipo amatenga chitsanzo cha jaguarundi, mphaka wakuthengo wokhala ndi thupi lalitali ndi miyendo yayifupi.
Kufotokozera
Munchkins ndi ofanana m'njira iliyonse ndi amphaka wamba, kupatula kutalika kwa miyendo yawo. Thupi ndilopakatikati, ndi chifuwa chachikulu, chotalika. Kapangidwe ka mafupa kakufotokozedwa bwino, nyama zimakhala zolimba komanso zamphamvu.
Amphaka okhwima ogonana amalemera makilogalamu 3 mpaka 4.5, amphaka mpaka 2.5-3 makilogalamu. Kutalika kwa moyo ndi zaka 12-13.
Miyendo ndi yaifupi, ndipo yakumbuyo ndi yayitali kuposa ija yakutsogolo. Mchira ndi wa makulidwe apakatikati, nthawi zambiri kutalika kofanana ndi thupi, wokhala ndi nsonga yozungulira.
Mutu ndi wotakata, ngati mawonekedwe osinthika okhala ndi mizere yosalala ndi masaya apamwamba. Khosi ndi lalitali komanso lalitali. Makutuwo ndi akulu pakati, otambalala kumunsi, ozunguliridwa pang'ono nsonga, zomwe zili m'mbali mwa mutu, pafupi ndi korona wamutu.
Maso ake ndi apakatikati, ooneka ngati mtedza, amakhala otakata komanso oyang'ana pang'ono kumunsi kwa makutu.
Pali onse tsitsi lalifupi komanso lalitali. Ma munchkins okhala ndi tsitsi lalitali amakhala ndi ubweya wa silika wokhala ndi kabudula wamkati ndi mane pamkhosi. Tsitsi lakuthwa limamera kuchokera m'makutu, ndipo mchira umadzaza kwambiri.
Tsitsi lalifupi ali ndi zamtengo wapatali, zofewa zazitali zazitali. Mtundu wa amphaka ukhoza kukhala uliwonse, kuphatikiza amalo.
Kuswana ndi mitundu ina ya amphaka ofupikitsa komanso atsitsi lalitali kumaloledwa. Amphaka okhala ndi miyendo yayitali yopezeka pamtanda wotere saloledwa kuwonetsero, koma atha kugwiritsidwa ntchito pakukula kwa mtunduwo ngati ali ndi mitundu yosangalatsa.
Popeza mtunduwo udakali wachichepere kwambiri ndipo umawoloka nthawi zonse ndi amphaka amitundu ina, mtundu, mutu ndi mawonekedwe amthupi, ngakhale mawonekedwe, amatha kukhala osiyana kwambiri.
Zitenga zaka miyezo ina isanakwane, makamaka yofanana ndi mitundu ina.
Khalidwe
Khalidwe lake ndi losiyana, popeza dziwe la jini likadali lalikulu ndipo amphaka wamba amagwiritsidwa ntchito. Awa ndi amphaka achikondi, amphaka okongola.
Amphaka ndi ochezeka, okongola komanso okonda anthu, makamaka ana. Ichi ndi chisankho chabwino kwa mabanja akulu, chifukwa munchkins amakhalabe amphaka amasewera m'miyoyo yawo yonse. Maonekedwe, ndi chizolowezi chokwera pa miyendo yake yakumbuyo kuti ayang'ane padziko lonse lapansi, sizisiya aliyense alibe chidwi. Amachita chidwi ndipo amayimirira ndi miyendo yawo yakumbuyo kuti akafufuze china chake.
Ngakhale ali ndi miyendo yayifupi, munchkins amathamanga ndikudumpha mofanana ndi amphaka wamba. Amakhala amphaka abwinobwino, athanzi, omwe ali ndi kutalika kwa miyendo. Inde, iwo sadzalumpha kuchokera pansi kupita kuchipinda kulumpha kamodzi, koma amalipira izi ndi mphamvu zawo ndi ntchito yawo, chifukwa chake mudzangodabwa.
Amatha kugwira mbewa, koma simuyenera kuwayika panja. Pali chiopsezo chotaya, chifukwa ma koloboks awa amakopa mawonekedwe a anthu osiyanasiyana.
Awa ndi amphaka omwe si onse omwe angawadziwa, koma ngati mumamukonda, simungamusiye kumukonda.
Osadziwa nkomwe kuti ndi osiyana ndi abale awo amiyendo yayitali, amakhala ndikukhala osangalala, amakhalabe oseketsa, achidwi, osangalala.
Chisamaliro
Palibe chisamaliro chapadera chomwe chimafunikira, ndikwanira kupesa malaya kawiri pamlungu, kafupi-kamodzi komanso kamodzi.
Njira zina zonse ndizoyenera pamitundu yonse: kuyeretsa khutu ndi kudula zikhadabo.
Zaumoyo
Sakhala ndi matenda aliwonse apadera, omwe amadza chifukwa cha unyamata wawo komanso amphaka osiyanasiyana omwe amapanga nawo.
Madokotala ena amadera nkhawa za msana wa amphakawa, makamaka, Lordosis, omwe amatha kukhudza mtima ndi mapapo amphaka.
Koma kuti mudziwe ngati ali ndi vuto la Lordosis, amafufuza zambiri, chifukwa mtunduwo udakali wachichepere. Otsatira ambiri amakana zovuta ngati izi mu ziweto zawo.
Palinso kukayikira kuti jini yomwe imayambitsa miyendo yayifupi itha kupha ikalandiridwa ndi makolo awiri nthawi imodzi. Amphaka amafa m'mimba kenako amasungunuka, ngakhale izi sizinatsimikizidwebe ndi mayeso. Koma, izi zimapezekadi mu amphaka amtundu wa Manx ndi Cimrick, komabe, zimayambitsidwa pamenepo ndi jini lomwe limayambitsa kusakhazikika. Asayansi akuyembekeza kuti adzawona momwe amathandizira amphaka amphaka omwe amadwala matendawa.
Makamaka chifukwa chapadera, mwina chifukwa chotchuka, koma mphaka amafunika kwambiri. Nthawi zambiri m'mazalewa pamakhala mzere wawo. Ngakhale sizosowa komanso zotchipa; ngati mukusinthasintha pankhani zamtundu, utoto, jenda, ndiye kuti mzere udzafupikitsa.
Vuto la kuswana munchkins ndi funso loti muchite ndi ziweto zazing'onoting'ono.
