ʻO ka Mastiff he ʻīlio nui loa, ikaika a ʻoʻoleʻa, me ke poʻo nui, ʻelua mau pepeiao triangular nui e hāʻule ana, ka waha ākea a me ka maka me he mea lā i uhi ʻia me ka uhi ʻeleʻele e hoʻopiha i ka hoʻohauʻoli.

He moʻolelo hanohano! ʻO ka Mastiff kekahi o nā lāhui liʻiliʻi i hiki ke haʻaheo no ke komo ʻana i ka moʻolelo nui o nā kāne, a ʻo kēia no nā kenekulia he nui. No ka laʻana, ua ʻike nā pūʻali koa Farani i kēia hound kōkua o nā pūʻali koa ʻEnelani i ka wā o ke kaua ʻana i nā haneli makahiki. ʻO kona noho kahiko loa ʻana ma Beretania ua pili ia i ka moʻomeheu kalepa o nā Phoenicians. No nā kenekulia, he ʻīlio kaua, hakakā, hopu, kiaʻi… ma hope o ka make ʻana, ua ikaika hou ka pua i ka hapa lua o ke kenekulia XNUMX.

Ma lalo o kāna mau lewa ogre weliweli, ʻo ka Mastiff he kanaka nunui mālie. He mālie a aloha nui ʻo ia i kāna poʻe aloha, nā kānaka a me nā holoholona ʻohana. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i ka huhū, akā mālama ʻia a mālama ʻole i nā malihini. Ua lawa kona kino nui e hoʻolilo iā ia i ʻīlio kiaʻi maikaʻi e pale aku i kekahi mai ka hoʻokokoke ʻana iā ia. ʻO kekahi ʻano maikaʻi ʻē aʻe e hāʻawi ʻia i kēia holoholona: he rustic a hoʻololi i ka mea ʻole.

Ma muli o kona ulu wikiwiki a me ka nui hope loa, ua ʻike nui ʻia ka Mastiff i nā pathologies orthopedic i ʻike pinepine ʻia i nā ʻano nui. Pono ʻo ia e hōʻalo i nā hoʻoikaika kino ma mua o ka makahiki ʻelua i ʻole e hōʻino i kāna cartilage ulu. ʻO kēlā ʻōlelo, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka Mastiff i nā dysplasias pinepine, e like me ka ʻikepili i hōʻiliʻili ʻia e kaOrthopedic Kahi hoʻokumu no nā holoholona : 15% me ka elbow dysplasia (22nd ma waena o nā ʻano nui i hoʻopilikia ʻia) a me 21% me ka hip dysplasia (35th kūlana). (1) (2) Ua ʻike pono ʻia ka Mastiff i ka pilikia o ka haki ʻana o ka ligament cruciate.

ʻO kekahi pilikia o ka pathology pili pono i kona nui nui: ka dilation-torsion o ka ʻōpū. ʻO nā hōʻailona maʻi (ka hopohopo, ka haʻalulu, ka hoʻāʻo ʻole i ka luaʻi) pono e makaʻala a alakaʻi i ka hana lapaʻau wikiwiki.

Ua ʻae ʻia e nā hui like ʻole ʻo ke kanesa ke kumu nui o ka make ma Mastiffs. E like me ka hihia me nā ʻano nui ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka maʻi maʻi iwi (ʻo ka Osteosarcoma ka mea maʻamau) e pili pono ana i kēia ʻīlio. (3)

Canine Multifocal Retinopathy (CMR): ʻike ʻia kēia maʻi maka e nā ʻeha a me ka wehe ʻana o ka retina e hiki ke hōʻino i ka ʻike ma kahi ala liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ke kumu o ka makapō piha. Loaʻa kahi hōʻike hōʻike genetic.

Cystinuria: ʻo ia ka hana ʻino o nā puʻupaʻa e hoʻoulu ai i ka mumū a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā pōhaku kīkī.

ʻO ka maʻi maʻi (cardiomyopathy), ocular (entropion), hypothyroidism ... ʻike pū ʻia nā maʻi ma ka Mastiff akā ʻaʻole kiʻekiʻe ko lākou prevalence i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe.

ʻOiai ʻo kona ʻano maikaʻi, ʻo ka Mastiff kahi holoholona muscular e kaupaona ana i ke kaumaha o ke kanaka makua. No laila hiki ke hōʻike i kahi hoʻoweliweli i nā haole. No laila, he kuleana ko kona haku e hoʻonaʻauao iā ia a pale aku i kekahi pilikia, i ʻole e hiki i kēia ʻīlio ke hana e like me kona makemake. ʻO ka hilinaʻi a me ke kūpaʻa ka ʻōlelo nui no ka hoʻonaʻauao kūleʻa. ʻAʻole pili ka Mastiff i ke kānāwai o Ianuali 6, 1999 e pili ana i nā holoholona weliweli.
