Ināʻoe e lawe i kahi kahuʻoihana pilikino aʻoiaʻiʻo o ka'īlio'īlio, hiki iāʻoe ke noʻonoʻo pono e kūʻai aku ka'īlio i ka lāhui iʻaelikeʻia aʻaʻohe mea e pili ai i ka mea nāna e hāʻawi. I kēia hihia, hiki iāʻoe ke nānā pono i nā puke a loaʻa i ka helu pololei o ka hopena e ulu ai ma muli o ka makahiki. ʻO ka nīnau, pehea ka nui o nā makahiki a nā'īlio e ulu ana, he mea nui ia i nā kānaka i lawe i ka home i ka'īlio home home. Eia kekahi, pono nā kahu o nā pīpī i nā pilikia likeʻole, e mau ana i ka kaumaha, e huli ana i kahi "bipi"'ōpio, akā naʻe ma ka mea kūʻai aku i ka mea kūʻai aku iā lākou e kūʻai ana lākou i kahi'īlio piha.
I ka wā hea e paʻa ai ka'īlio?
Hoʻonui mau i ka nui a kokoke i nā pupp a hiki iʻeono mahina. Akā eia kekahi mea koʻikoʻi kaʻano o ka holoholona. Inā ulu nā kāpili'ōpiopio, nā dachshunds, pugs a me nā pekinese i kahi o 8-10 mau mahina, a laila hoʻomau nā'īlio nui i ka nui o ka muscle i hope o ka makahiki. ʻO nā kahu hipa German aʻo Rottweilers lākou e hana i ko lākou kino noʻelua mau makahiki. ʻO nā kupa o nā'īlio e ulu ana i ka 12 mau malama, akā,ʻaʻole i pau kēia hanaʻana, aʻo kekahi makahiki'ē aʻe e hoʻomau lākou i ka pale. ʻO nā kumu koʻikoʻi'ē aʻe e pili ana i ka uluʻana i kaʻaiʻana, ka hānaiʻana, ke aʻoʻana, nā pilikia kūpono ma hope o ka'ōpiopio a iʻole ke kuhi.
Pehea ka wikiwiki o nā'īlio e ulu ana?
ʻEono mahina iʻoi aku ka nui o kāu'īlio i ka hapanui o ka manawa, a ma kaʻokiʻana eʻoi aku i ka pālua. Hoʻomaka ka uluʻana o nā iwi likeʻole ma nāʻano likeʻole. ʻO ka nui o ke kino e hilinaʻi ia i nā iwi niho i hanaʻia i loko o nā malamaʻeono mua. Ma hope o ia mea, a hiki i ka makahiki,ʻaʻole i hāʻule ka ikaika o ka ulu, akā, piʻi nui ka iwi pālahalaha o ka iwi o ka'īlio. Ke ulu neiʻo ia i ka laulā (e lilo iʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka sternum). ʻO ka hope, ua loaʻa i ka iwi hope o ka nui o nā mea nui ma nā 2.5-3 makahiki, ma mua o kaʻikeʻiaʻana o kāu mau puaʻa.
Inā makemake nuiʻoe i ka nīnau, ehia mau mahina e ulu ai nā'īlio, a laila ke'ōlelo nei mākou e hoʻomakaʻoe i kahi leka kūikawā a lawe i nā mākaukau o kāu holoholona. ʻAʻole hiki iāʻoe ke ana wale me kahi mea ana (e like me ke kuʻiʻana o ka pahu, ka kiʻekiʻe i ka'opihu, a pēlā aku), akā e kaupaʻi i ka'īlio. ʻAʻohe meaʻeha eʻike i nā makahiki o nā'īlio. ʻO kēlā me kēiaʻohana he mauʻano pono'ī kona, a e wikiwikiʻoe e wehewehe i nā kuhi hewaʻana keʻikeʻia ka hilahilaʻole o ka mea hoʻokele.
