Galu waku Iceland kapena Icelandic Spitz (English Icelandic Sheepdog; Icelandic Íslenskur fjárhundur) sikuti imangokhala ya mtundu wakale kwambiri - Spitz, komanso ndiyakale kwambiri. Amakhulupirira kuti makolo ake adafika ku Iceland ndi ma Vikings oyamba pakati pa 874 ndi 930.
Mbiri ya mtunduwo
Ngakhale kuli umboni wochepa kwambiri wanthawi yakukhazikika ku Iceland, nthano zakale ndi nthano zimanena kuti abusa aku Iceland adabwera kumeneko limodzi ndi anthu. Ndiwo mbalame zokhazokha pazilumba zolimba izi zomwe zakhala zikukhala kwazaka zambiri patokha.
Kugwira ntchito molimbika kwa mtunduwo, kudzipereka kwake ndi kukhulupirika kwa anzawo omwe anali nawo kumalemekezedwa kwambiri pakati pa anthu. Agalu amenewa ankawalemekeza kwambiri ndipo ankawaika m'manda ngati anthu.
Nyengo yoipa kwambiri ku Iceland idadzetsa mavuto ambiri, ndipo m'zaka za zana la 10 kudali njala yayikulu. Kuti apulumuke, anthu amapha ndikudya agalu, ndipo ndi omwe ali anzeru kwambiri, athanzi komanso osowa kwambiri omwe amatha kupulumuka.
Popeza kunalibe zilombo zazikulu kuzilumbazi, ndipo kulibe nyama zambiri, zikutanthauza kuti abusa aku Iceland sanagwiritsidwe ntchito ngati agalu osaka, ndipo machitidwe awo amakhala ochezeka komanso okonda kwambiri anthu.
Nthawi zambiri samazigwiritsa ntchito kwenikweni poteteza gulu la ziweto komanso kuwongolera. Ankadziwa nkhosa iliyonse m'gulu lawo, kuwasiyanitsa ndi kununkhiza. Amati woyang'anira ku Iceland amachita bwino kwambiri izi kotero kuti amatha kupeza nkhosa yomwe yaikidwa pansi pa chipale chofewa mita zingapo.
Agalu abwino kwambiri a ng'ombe, amagwiritsidwabe ntchito pazinthu izi ndipo amatha kuthana ndi nyama zazikulu monga mahatchi.
Kuswana kwa ng'ombe kunayambitsidwa makamaka ku Middle Ages, ndipo agalu aku Iceland nthawi zambiri amatumizidwa kumayiko oyandikana nawo. Makamaka ku Great Britain, komwe amakondedwa ndi olemekezeka ndipo ndiwo oyamba kulembedwa za mtunduwo. Munthu wina wodziwika bwino komanso woyendetsa ndege wotchedwa Martin Beheim anatchula za iwo mu 1492.
Zolemba zamtunduwu zimapitilizabe kuonekera m'zaka zotsatira. Wolemba ku Sweden Olaf Magnus alemba mu 1555 kuti agaluwa ndi otchuka kwambiri ku Sweden, makamaka azimayi ndi ansembe. Ndipo mu 1570, a John Klaus adatchulanso agalu aku Iceland kuti ndi amodzi mwa otchuka kwambiri ku Britain.
Popita nthawi, kutchuka kumeneku kumafalikira ku Europe konse ndipo mu 1763 agaluwa amadziwika ngakhale ku Poland. Ngakhale zinali choncho, chakumayambiriro kwa zaka za zana la 19, agalu olondera ku Iceland anali atatsala pang'ono kutha.
Kufalikira kwa mliri pakati pa nkhosa, kufalikira kwa agalu, nthawi yomweyo kufalikira ndikupha nyama. Pafupifupi magawo atatu mwa agalu amafa chifukwa cha mliriwo.
Chifukwa chakuchepa kwakukulu kwa anthu (kuphatikiza omwe akutulutsa), agalu amatumizidwa kudziko lina kuchokera kunja. Wolemba buku lonena za Icelandic Spitz, a Christian Schierbeck adayenda mdzikolo kufunafuna agalu osapsa. Anakwanitsa kupeza agalu 20 okha ofanana ndi mawonekedwe apachiyambi komanso omwe ali kumafamu akutali a anthu wamba.
Kalelo, agalu a ku Iceland anali osowa kwambiri mwakuti mtengo wagalu unali wofanana ndi kavalo wabwino kapena nkhosa zochepa. Boma linaletsa kulowetsa agalu kunja kwa 1901 pofuna kuteteza anthu.
Pang'ono ndi pang'ono, mtunduwo umabwezeretsedwanso ndipo mu 1969 kalabu yoyamba idapangidwa - Icelandic Dog Breeder Association (HRFÍ), mu 1979 yachiwiri - Icelandic Sheepdog Breed Club. Mamembala a gululi akuchita nawo zikhalidwe ndi kuswana.
Pakadali pano, agalu pafupifupi 4,000 adalembetsa. Ngakhale panali zaka zopitilira 1000, mtunduwo sunazindikiridwe ndi AKC mpaka Julayi 2010.
Kufotokozera
Iwo ndi amodzi mwamagulu akale kwambiri - Spitz ndipo mawonekedwe ake ali pafupi ndi mimbulu. Awa ndi agalu apakatikati, amuna omwe amafota amafika 46 cm, akazi 42 cm, olemera 12-15 kg. Amuna amamangidwa molimba, amakhala ndi minofu, pomwe akazi amakhala okongola komanso okongola.
Agalu Achiheberi aku Iceland amatha kukhala achidule kapena ataliitali, koma nthawi zonse amakhala awiri, okhala ndi malaya akunenepa, osalowa madzi.
Chovalachi chimakhala ndi malaya apamwamba komanso chovala chofewa koma chothithikana chomwe chimathandiza galu kuti azitenthedwa. Tsitsi lalitali komanso lalifupi ndi lalifupi pamaso, makutu ndi kutsogolo kwa miyendo, motalika pakhosi ndi pachifuwa. Mchira ndiwofewa, wokhala ndi nthenga zazitali.
Amasiyana mitundu mitundu, pomwe imodzi yayikulu imatha kuthandizidwa ndi mawanga amitundu yosiyanasiyana. Nthawi zambiri agalu amakhala akuda, otuwa, abulauni, omwe amatha kutuluka kuchokera kirimu mpaka kufiira.
Nthawi zambiri, agalu onse amakhala ndi zolemba zoyera kumaso, pachifuwa, kapena pamiyendo. Agalu achikuda owala ali ndi chigoba chakuda pamphuno.
Kwa agalu omwe akuchita nawo ziwonetsero, kudula ndi koletsedwa, popeza nyama iyenera kuwoneka mwachilengedwe momwe zingathere.
Khalidwe
Agalu osadzichepetsa, okhulupirika, osewerera. Mwa zochitika zapakatikati, amakonda kukhala pafupi ndi anthu, ali okhulupirika modabwitsa, kuwapanga agalu oyenera kusamalira mabanja.
Choyipa chake ndikuti popanda kulumikizana amatopa, sakonda kukhala okha kwa nthawi yayitali ndipo amafunikira chisamaliro chochuluka kuposa mitundu ina ya agalu.
Kuphatikiza apo, chidwi chotere chimakhudza maphunziro ndipo simuyenera kukhala okhwimitsa kwambiri.
Maphunziro ayenera kukhala osasintha koma odekha ndikuyamba mwachangu momwe angathere. Galu waku Iceland ndiwosachedwa kupsa, koma mwamakhalidwe amakula msanga kuposa mitundu ina.
Kukula kwa mwana wagalu kumapitilira mpaka chaka chachiwiri cha moyo. Maphunziro oyenera ndi mayanjano okwanira ndizofunikira kwa alonda aku Iceland.
Kukonda anthu kumapitilizabe, ndipo kwa alendo, agalu nthawi zambiri amawapatsa moni ngati anzawo. Pochita mantha, amakalipa ndipo amangothawa m'malo mokangana. Koma nthawi zambiri amangofuna kupanga anzawo ndipo siabwino oyenera achitetezo.
Ana agalu omwe amakula popanda mayanjano abwino amatha kuwonetsa agalu aamuna kapena akazi anzawo, koma amakhala mwamtendere.
Wopangidwa kuti azigwira ntchito, azolowera nyengo yovuta, agalu awa m'nyumba amakhala ndi mphamvu yochulukirapo. Ntchito ndi zomwe amafunikira kuti azisamalidwa mwakuthupi ndi m'maganizo. Kuphatikiza apo, ndiosavuta kuphunzitsa komanso kukonda kuphunzira.
Ngakhale ndi ochepa, amafunikira malo oti athamangire ndikukhala achangu, ndipo amakula bwino m'nyumba yomwe muli malo okhala nyama zina.
Amakhala oyenera mabanja kapena osakwatira, anthu omwe akufuna galu kuti akhale mnzake wokhulupirika komanso mnzake. Abusa aku Iceland amakonda madzi, kusambira, ndipo ena amayesanso kusewera ndi omwe amamwa.
Monga galu woweta, anthu aku Iceland nthawi zambiri amagwiritsa ntchito mawu. Kukuwa ndi gawo la chikhalidwe chawo ndipo amafotokoza bwino mosiyanasiyana malingaliro awo. Taganizirani izi, chifukwa mwina sangakhale oyandikana nawo bwino.
Kuphatikiza apo, awa ndi akatswiri othawa, omwe sangayimitsidwe ndi mipanda iliyonse.
Ponseponse, galu waku Iceland ndi mnzake wokonda komanso wokhulupirika yemwe amakonda kucheza ndi kucheza ndi banja lake. Amagwira ntchito molimbika akafunika, ndipo akakhala kunyumba, amasangalala kucheza. Ndi abwino kwa anthu achangu, okonda kudziwa omwe amakhala mnyumba yachinsinsi.
Chisamaliro
Ponena za galu wokhala ndi malaya akuluakulu, amafunikira kusamalidwa pang'ono. Kutsuka mlungu uliwonse kumathandiza kupewa zingwe ndi zinyalala pa malaya. Nthawi zambiri, mumafunikira kutsuka kawiri pachaka agalu akukhetsa mwachangu.
Zaumoyo
Galu wamphamvu komanso wathanzi. Amakhala zaka 12 mpaka 15 ndipo nthawi yomweyo samadwala matenda amtundu winawake.
