Aia kekahi ʻano nui o ka nui a me ke kaumaha i ka Alaskan Malamute a no laila ʻo ia ka wikiwiki a me nā kaulike e makemake ʻia e hoʻoholo i ke kūlana. Lawe maikaʻi ʻia ka umauma a muscled maikaʻi ke kino ikaika. Lawe ʻia kona huelo ma ke kua a ma ka plume. He mānoanoa mānoanoa kona, waho o waho me kahi kapa komo mānoanoa. ʻO ka maʻamau maʻamau ʻokoʻa kona kapa mai ka hina hina a i ka ʻeleʻele, akā ʻae ʻia nā ʻano he nui.

Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka Alaskan Malamute e ka Fédération Cynologiques Internationale ma waena o nā ʻīlio Spitz ʻano Sped Nordic. (1)

Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Alaskan Malamute he mamo ponoʻī na nā ʻīlio hānai i hele pū me nā mea ʻimi holoholona ʻo Paleolithic i ko lākou hele ʻana i ke kahakai ʻo Bering ma kahi o 4000 mau makahiki i hala, a laila, ma hope o ko lākou neʻe ʻana i ka ʻāina ʻAmelika ʻAkau. Manaʻo ʻo Alaskan Malamute ka mea hānai ʻo Paul Voelker ʻo kēia paha ka hānau ʻīlio mua loa ma ka ʻāina ʻAmelika.

ʻO ka inoa ʻo Alaskan Malamute e pili ana i ka dialect Malamute, i ʻōlelo ʻia e ka poʻe Inuit o Alaska, ka Iñupiat.

Ua hoʻohana mua ʻia nā ʻīlio o kēia ʻāina no ka hopu holoholona a ʻo ka ʻimi holoholona polar hoʻi. Wahi a ka noiʻi archaeological, aia wale nō i hala koke iho nei, ma waena o ʻekolu a me ʻelima haneli mau makahiki i hala aku nei i hoʻolaha nui ʻia ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka sliding ʻīlio. ʻOiai i kēia mau lā, i ka wā o ka Gold Rush o ka hopena o ka makahiki 1800, ua ʻike ka poʻe ʻimi i nā pono o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā sled ʻīlio a ua puka aʻe ka Alaskan Malamute ma ke ʻano he koho.

Ma ka hopena, ma hope o ka nalowale ʻana, ua ʻike ʻia ka laha i 1935 a i ka makahiki like i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ka Alaskan Malamute Club o ʻAmelika. (2)

Akamai loa ʻo ia a aʻo koke, akā hiki ke loaʻa i kahi ʻano ikaika. No laila pono e hoʻomaka i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ke kakahiaka nui. ʻO ka Alaskan Malamute kahi ʻīlio pack a ʻike ʻia kēia i kāna ʻano. Hoʻokahi wale nō mana o ka pack a inā ʻike ka holoholona iā ia iho e like me ia, hiki iā ia ke lilo i kaohi ʻole ʻia e kona haku. Eia naʻe, he hoa pili ʻo ia a kūpaʻa hoʻi. He ʻīlio aloha a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi ia me nā malihini. Hōʻike ka standard standard iā ia ma ke ʻano « hanohano hanohano i ka wā makua ”. (1)

He ola ke ola a ka Alaskan Malamute ma kahi o 12 a 14 mau makahiki. He ʻīlio paʻakikī ʻo ia a, e like me ka UK Kennel Club's 2014 Purebred Dog Health Survey, ʻaneʻane ʻekolu hapahā o nā holoholona i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i hōʻike ʻole i nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi. Ma waena o ka hapaha i koe, ʻo ka maʻi maʻamau ka lipoma, kahi tumo momona o ka momona momona. (3)

E like me nā ʻīlio hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻē aʻe, akā, maʻalahi ʻo ia i ka ulu ʻana i nā maʻi hoʻoilina. Hoʻopili kēia i nā kikoʻī dysplasia, achondroplasia, alopecia X a me polyneuropathy. (4-5)

ʻO Coxofemoral dysplasia

ʻO Coxofemoral dysplasia kahi kīnā hoʻoilina o ka hui pūhaka e hopena ai i ka ʻeha a me nā waimaka, nā waimaka, nā mumū, a me nā osteoarthritis.

Hoʻomaopopo nui ʻia ke kuhi a me ka loiloi o ke kahua o ka dysplasia e ka x-ray.

ʻO ka hoʻomohala holomua me ka makahiki o ka maʻi paʻakikī i kāna ʻike a me ka hoʻokele. ʻO ka lālani mua he lāʻau anti-inflammatory pinepine a i ʻole corticosteroids e kōkua me ka osteoarthritis. Hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia nā hana ʻoki lāʻau, a i ʻole ke kūpono ʻana i kahi hoʻokalakupua. Hiki i ka hoʻokele lāʻau maikaʻi ke lawa e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻoluʻolu o ke ola o ka ʻīlio. (4-5)

Lʻachondroplasie

ʻO Achondroplasia, kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo dwarfism lālā pōkole, kahi ʻano e hoʻopili i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā iwi lōʻihi. Loaʻa iā ia ka hopena o ka pōkole a me ka curvature o nā lālā.

ʻIke ʻia ka maʻi mai ka wā ʻōpio. Lohi mālie nā ʻīlio e pili ana ma mua o kā lākou mau hoa a ʻoi aku ka pōkole o ko lākou mau wāwae ma mua o ka awelika, ʻoiai ke poʻo a me ke kino he nui maʻamau. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka lālā a palupalu paha nā lālā.

Hoʻokumu nui ʻia ka hōʻailona ma ka hoʻokolohua kino a me ka x-ray. Hōʻike ka hope i nā iwi lōʻihi mānoanoa a pōkole hoʻi. (4-5)

ʻAʻohe lāʻau lapaʻau a he ʻilihune loa ka wānana no nā ʻīlio e like me ka Alaskan Malamute ʻoiai hiki i ka maʻi ke pale iā lākou mai ka hele wāwae.

Alopecia X

ʻO Alopecia X ka maʻi maʻamau i nā ʻīlio Nordic a me Spitz. He kūlana ʻili ia i ʻike ʻole ʻia nā kumu. Hoʻohālikelike ia i ka mea mua e nā ʻano loli o ke kapakomo (lauoho maloʻo, ʻeleʻele a palupalu) a laila, lohi, ua lilo ka ʻīlio i kona lauoho āpau ma nā wahi i hoʻopilikia ʻia.

Hōʻike pinepine nā hōʻailona mua i nā wahi o ka hakakā, e like me ka ʻāʻī a i ʻole ke kumu o ka huelo. ʻO ka mea hope loa, hiki i ka maʻi ke hoʻopili i ke kino holoʻokoʻa a me ka ʻili i nā wahi i hoʻopili ʻia e lilo i maloʻo, ʻino a hyperpigmented.

ʻO ka predisposition Breed kahi mea nui diagnostical criterion, akā he laʻana o ka ʻili mai kahi wahi i hoʻopilikia ʻia a me ka hoʻokolohua histological e pono ai e kāpae i nā alopecia ʻē aʻe. Hoʻopili nui kēia maʻi i nā ʻīlio makua, me ka ʻole o ka moekolohe a me ke ʻano maʻamau o ka holoholona.

ʻAʻohe ʻae i kēia manawa e pili ana i ka lāʻau. I nā kāne, hopena ka castration i ka ulu hou ʻana o ka lauoho ma kahi o 50% o nā hihia, akā hiki nō ke hoʻi hou. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mālama i kēia manawa ke māka i ka hana ʻana o ka hormone. (4-5)

Polyneuropathy

ʻO Polyneuropathy kahi kūlana neurological i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana o nā pūnana nerve i nā aʻa e pili ana i ka iwi kuamoo i ke kino holoʻokoʻa. Hōʻike nā ʻōuli mua ma hope o 1 a i ʻole 2 mau makahiki. ʻAno ʻole ka ʻīlio i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana, hāʻawi i kahi maʻi lōlō o nā lālā o lalo a me kahi hele maʻamau. Hiki pū kekahi me ka maʻi maʻi a me ka dyspnea.

Hiki i kahi hoʻāʻo genetika ke ʻike i kēia maʻi

ʻAʻohe lāʻau lapaʻau, akā i nā manawa liʻiliʻi hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka hoʻomaikaʻi kūpono ʻole. (4-6)

• ʻO ka Alaskan Malamute kahi ʻano haʻuki nui, no laila pono ka hoʻoikaika i kēlā me kēia lā.
• Koi aku ka ʻahuʻula i ka palaki maʻamau a i kekahi manawa i ka ʻauʻau.
