Ngaphambi kokuthinta incazelo yezinja zohlobo lwe-Pekingese, ngingathanda ukusho amagama ambalwa ngomlando wabo wokubukeka. Ngokomlando waseShayina wasendulo, inzalo yalolu hlobo yayiyizingonyama ne-monkey. Incazelo yalo mlando ithi ngandlela-thile ingonyama inqume ukugibela emfuleni. Lapho efika ogwini lolwandle, iNkosi yezilwane yaqaphela emagatsheni omuthi oseduze imonkey enhle kakhulu futhi yazithanda ngayo. Kodwa izithelo zothando lwabo kwakunguPekingese, ovela kubaba wakhe othole ngokumangalisayo, futhi evela kumama wakhe ubuso obungavamile nenhle. Ngaphezu kwalesi sici, kwakungenxa yohlobo lwezinja ezazikhulunywe izikhathi ezingaphezu kweyodwa kwimibhalo yesandla yaseChina lasendulo. I-Pekingese yafanisa ngisho nezinja, ezazihlonishwa kakhulu nombusi waseChina. Bathola isimo sezinhlobo ezikhethekile, ezaba nobuhlobo obuqondile nawo wonke umndeni wasebukhosini. Imikhakha yama-Peking yahlanganiswa kuphela endlini ka-emperor futhi yayibizwa ngokuthi izinja zombuso waseChina. Lesi simo sehlonipho sePekingese sasibeletha cishe eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezimbili, kodwa izenzo zempi zika-1850-1864 zashintsha kakhulu. Umyalo wanikezwa ukubhubhisa ngokuphelele izinja zalolu hlobo, futhi uma kungengesiNgisi, lokhu kuzokwenzeka. Yilabo abavela eChina abayithunyelwa ePekingese emihlanu, okwakhulisa ukuthuthukiswa kohlobo lwePekingese lanamuhla. Ekuqaleni lo mhlanga wawukhona njengendwangu yamakhosikazi asebekhulile, kodwa ekugcineni konke kwashintsha, futhi abameleli balezi zizwe bazuza isimo sezinja ezidumile phakathi kwabantu abesilisa nabesifazane kuphela, kodwa futhi nabamele bonke abakwa-social strata.
Incazelo yezinja zalesi sizwe ibonisa ukuthi beyizithunywa ezikhanyayo zohlobo lokuhlobisa, olusinda kuze kube yilolu suku. Kodwa, naphezu kwalokhu, lolu hlobo aluyona neze umhlobiso wendlu noma isimo somnikazi. Le nto encane, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo inja enkulu kakhulu ihluke ngokuhlukile kwabanye abafowabo bamawele abahlakaniphile engqondweni yabo kanye nama-aristocracy aphelele, njengoba kuboniswe izimpande zayo ezide.
Abameli be-Pekingese uthando lohlobo lwezinhlobo zothando olubonakalayo nokukhathazeka. Ukuphila okumatasa nokukhamuluka akuzona kubo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inja ayihambisani nokuqeqeshwa ngokusebenzisa izindlela eziphoqelekile. Ngakho-ke, uma uthola i-Pekingese, yibani nomusa ngokwanele ukumdala zonke izimo ezidingekayo. Kulezi zinja, imodi efanele yosuku ibaluleke kakhulu, okungukuthi: ukudla nokuhamba kufanele kube ngesikhathi esifanayo. Kungenzeka ukuthi isilwane sakho sizokhetha isikhathi esikahle salokhu noma leyo nqubo. Lezi zinja ziyakuthanda kakhulu uma zithathwa futhi zithandwa, futhi ikakhulukazi zikwazi ukuhamba. Naphezu kobukhulu bayo, inja ingahamba amabanga amade kakhulu ngaphandle kwemibandela yokukhathala. Iqiniso elithakazelisayo liphinde ukuthi le nja encane nenhle kakhulu iyasebenza njengengcindezi engapheli futhi ikwazi ukunikeza amagxolo akhe ukunikeza iloli kunoma iyiphi inja enkulu, noma "isivakashi" somunye umuntu. Kodwa asisikhuthazi imizamo ekhuthazayo yePekingese ukukhuphukela kwezinye izinja nge-rozhon. Yinakekele "umlindi wakho omubi".
Uma nje unqume ukukhetha lokho kuzinja zezinja, khona-ke incazelo elandelayo impela kuwe. Okokuqala, udinga ukucacisa injongo oyokhetha ngayo i-puppy: wena, othandekayo noma imibukiso. Uma i-puppy yakho isilwane nje - kufanelekile kunoma yimuphi ummeleli walolu hlobo. Kodwa uma ukhetha inja yombukiso, kufanele usebenzise iseluleko sabantu abanekhono kule ndawo.
Ngakho, ukuthenga i-Pekingese ngokwakho kunconywa, uma i-puppy izoba amasonto amahlanu noma ayisithupha. Ukwethula inja izindleko kusukela ngosuku lokuqala lokubonakala kwakho ekhaya lakho. Kodwa ungaqinile kakhulu, vele ukhuthaze isilwane sakho ngezenzo zakhe zokunene. Indawo yokulala ingcono ukukhetha ikhoneni elingasese lapho kungekho khona umsindo nomdwebo. Lezi zinja azithandi ukuphoqelelwa ukudlala noma ukudla, ngokuqinisekile zizoveza izifiso zazo ngokwazo.
Ngendlela, i-Peking inja yezinja idinga ukunakekelwa ngokucophelela okukhulu. Okokuqala ixhunywe nezinwele ezinamahloni nezinhle zenja. I-Pekingese idinga ukulwa nsuku zonke, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi se-moult. Ungakhohlwa ukuthi isimo sesikhumba siphila kanye nempilo yenja. Abamele balolu hlobo bayanconywa ukuthi bahlambe kanye ngenyanga, kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bahlambulukile. Ngalokhu kudingekile ukuthi usebenzise ama-shampoos akhethekile "ngezinqubo zamanzi ezinja".
Ekudleni kwabo kwansuku zonke, i-Pekingese ayithandi, kodwa, naphezu kwalokhu, kunezici ezithile ekudleni kommeli walolu hlobo. Ekudleni kwe-Pekingese enkulu kumele kubandakanye inani elibalulekile lamakhalori. I-Overfeeding Pekingese ayikhuthazwa, ngoba isebenzisa amandla amancane ngakho-ke akudingeki ukuthi idliwe. Lezi zinja zithandwa kakhulu ngekhwalithi. Futhi, uma ufaka umkhiqizo omusha noma ongezingeni eliphezulu esitsheni kuye, i-Pekingese ingabonisa uhlamvu lwakhe futhi iqale isiteleka sokulamba. Ngakho-ke qiniseka ukuthi uqapha ikhwalithi nokudla okuhlanzekile kumngane wakho ohlaziye ezine. Ukudla okungcono kakhulu kwePekingese ukudla okulungile nokulinganiselayo. Inhlekelele ekhethekile yenja ingaletha imikhiqizo elandelayo: isoseji, inyama enamafutha. Kodwa imifino, izithelo nemikhiqizo yobisi omuncu kuyoba ukunambitheka okuthandayo futhi kuzosiza ukwengeza ubungqabavu nempilo.
Ngakho sihlolisise izici eziyinhloko zabameleli besizwe samaPekingese. Khumbula ukuthi emithanjeni yomngane wakho wegazi ophethwe yi-four imperial blood flows, ngakho-ke ziqhayise ngesilwane sakho futhi wenze konke okusemandleni ukuze wenze uzizwe "esihlalweni sobukhosi." Ngoba yini iPekinese yakho ezokuphendula ngokuzinikela kweqiniso nangothando, ngoba lokhu kuyisisekelo esiyisisekelo sokuphila kulezi zinja ezincane.
