ʻO ka ʻīlio pipi pipi o Australia he 46 a 51cm i ka maloʻo no nā kāne a me 43 a 48 cm no nā wahine. He ʻāʻī ikaika loa kāna. Kū pololei nā pepeiao, a kuhi iki. ʻAʻohe wai ke kapa kiʻekiʻe no ka mea paʻa a moe palahalaha. ʻOi aku ka pōkole ma ke poʻo, nā pepeiao o loko a me ka ʻaoʻao mua o nā lālā a me nā wāwae. Pākuʻi ʻia kona lole i ka polū me ka undercoat. Hiki iā ia ke ʻulaʻula.

Hoʻonohonoho ka Fédération Cynologique Internationale iā ia i waena o nā Sheepdogs a me nā ʻīlio pipi (pūʻulu 1 ʻāpana 2).

E like me ka inoa e hōʻike nei, ua hoʻomohala ʻia ka Dog Cattle Dog Australia e mālama i nā pipi ma Australia (Latin Cattle Bo (v) arius ʻo ia hoʻi "kahu pipi"). ʻO ka kumu o ka ʻīlio mai ka makahiki 1840, i ka wā i hele aku ai kahi mea hānau ʻo Kuini, George Elliott, i nā dingoes, nā ʻīlio hihiu o ʻAukekulelia, me nā collle merle polū. ʻO nā ʻīlio e pili ana i kēia keʻa i makemake nui ʻia e nā kahu bipi a hoʻāla i ka hoihoi o Jack lāua ʻo Harry Bagust. Ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi o kēia mau ʻīlio, ua hoʻomaka nā kaikuaʻana Bagust e hoʻomaka i nā hoʻokolohua, ʻo ia hoʻi me Dalmatian a me Kelpie. ʻO ka hopena he kūpuna ia o ka ʻīlio pipi ʻo Australia. Ma hope iki aku, na Robert Kaleski i hoʻoholo i ke kūlana hānau a ʻae ʻia i 1903.

Nui ka hauʻoli o ka ʻīlio pipi ʻo Australia ma nā wahi ākea. Mālama mau ʻo ia me ka makaʻala nui, me ka ikaika nui a me ka ʻike kū ʻole. ʻO kēia mau ʻano āpau e hoʻolilo iā lākou i ʻīlio hana kūpono. Hiki iā ia ke lilo i kahu bipi ʻoiaʻiʻo, akā maikaʻi hoʻi i ka hoʻolohe a i ʻole nā ​​hoʻokolohua agility. Kūpaʻa loa a palekana hoʻi, pili pili loa ka ʻīlio pipi ʻo Australia i kona ʻohana, akā he mea nui ia no ka mea nona ka mea e hoʻonohonoho pono iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi o ka pūʻolo e hōʻalo i nā pilikia o ka lawena. He kānalua maoli lākou i nā malihini, akā ʻaʻole huhū.

ʻO ka ʻīlio pipi ʻo Australian he ʻīlio paʻakikī loa ia a ma ke ʻano maʻamau. Wahi a ka 2014 UK Kennel Club Purebred Dog Health Survey, ʻaʻole pili ka ʻīlio pipi ʻo Australian i ka maʻi nui. ʻAneʻane ʻekolu hapahā o nā ʻīlio i hōʻike ʻia ʻaʻole hōʻike i ka maʻi. I ke koena, ʻo ka maʻi maʻamau ka mea maʻamau.

Pilikia ʻia nā ʻīlio pipi ʻo Australian i nā maʻi hoʻoilina, e like me ke atrophy retinal holomua a i ʻole ke kuli.

Hoʻoiho retina holomua

Kuhi ʻia kēia maʻi e ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa holomua o ka retina. Ua like loa ia ma waena o ka ʻīlio a me ke kāne. ʻO ka mea hope loa, alakaʻi ia i ka makapō āpau a hiki paha i kahi loli i ke kala o nā maka, e ʻōmaʻomaʻo a melemele paha iā lākou. Hoʻopili ʻia nā maka ʻelua a ʻoi aku paha i ka manawa like a like pū kekahi.

Holomua ka nalo o ka hihi a hiki i nā hōʻailona lapaʻau mua ke lōʻihi i ka manawa no ka ʻike ʻana no ka mea ʻo nā hunaola mua i ka maka e hoʻopili ʻia e ka maʻi nā mea e ʻae i ka ʻike ʻana i ka pō.

Aia ke kuhi o kahi ninaninau ophthalmologic e hoʻohana ana i ka ophthalmoscope a me ka electroretinogram. He maʻi hiki ʻole ke hoʻōla ʻia a ʻike ʻole ʻia ka makapō i kēia manawa. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻehaʻeha a me kona helehelena holomua e ʻae i ka ʻīlio e hoʻololi iki i kāna kūlana. Me ke kōkua o kona haku, a laila hiki i ka ʻīlio ke ola me kona makapō. (2 - 3)

Loaʻa ka lohe pepeiao sensorineural Congenital

ʻO ka nalowale hoʻolohe pepeiao sensorineural ke kumu maʻamau o ka nalo ʻana o ka ʻīlio a me nā pōpoki. Hoʻohui pinepine ʻia me ka pigmentation keʻokeʻo o ka pale a me he mea lā e pili pū ana nā genes i ke kala o ka pale i ka hoʻoilina hoʻoilina o kēia maʻi. Ma waena o kēia mau ʻāpana hiki iā mākou ke kuhikuhi i ka gen merle (M) i hiki i ke kahu hānai ke hoʻoili ʻia mai kona hele ʻana me ka collle merle polū i ka XNUMXth kenekulia (e ʻike i ka ʻāpana mōʻaukala).

Hiki i ke kuli ke unilateral (hoʻokahi pepeiao) a i ʻole bilateral (nā pepeiao ʻelua). I ka hihia hope, e paipai nui ʻia nā hōʻailona maʻi. ʻO ka ʻīlio e laʻa me kahi hiamoe nui loa a me ka nalo o ka lohe ʻole i ka walaʻau. I ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, ʻo kahi ʻīlio me ka kuli unilateral e hōʻike ana i ka hōʻike liʻiliʻi o ka nalo ʻana o ka lohe. No laila paʻakikī i ka mea nona a i ʻole ka mea hānai ke ʻike mua i ke kuli.

Alakaʻi ʻia ka hōʻikeʻike e ka predisposition laha a ma ka nānā ʻana i ka hopena o ka ʻīlio i kahi mea hoʻonāukiuki kani. Hana ʻia ka hoʻokumu kūloko o ka hōʻailona e kahi hōʻike e ana i ka hana uila o ka cochlea: ke kumumanaʻo o ka auditory i hōʻeuʻeu ʻia (AEP). Hiki i kēia hana ke nānā pono i ka laha o ke kani ma ka pepeiao o waho a me waena a me nā waiwai neurological ma ka pepeiao o loko, ke aʻalolo lohe a me ka lolo.

ʻAʻohe lapaʻau i kēia manawa e hoʻihoʻi i ka hoʻolohe ʻana i nā ʻīlio. (4)

ʻAʻohe o ko lākou pale wai ʻole a ʻaila koena, a hoʻohou hou ʻia ka undercoat pōkole a mānoanoa i ʻelua mau manawa o ka makahiki. No ka mālama ʻana i ka palule pono wale nō i ka ʻauʻau ʻauʻau ʻana a me ka palaki ʻana i kēlā me kēia pule. E kōkua kahi palaki curry i ka mālama ʻana i ko lākou kapa komo i ke kūlana maikaʻi. E ʻoki mau ʻia nā māiʻu i mea e pale aku ai iā lākou mai ka haki a ulu nui ʻana paha. E nānā pinepine hoʻi i nā pepeiao e pale aku i ka wax a i ʻole nā ​​ʻōpala i hiki ke alakaʻi i ka maʻi. E nānā pono ʻia hoʻi nā niho a palaki pinepine ʻia.
