Uhlobo lwezinja zaseRhodesian Ridgeback linokusabalalisa okungalingani kwezwe. Ngakho eMpumalanga Ekude naseNingizimu Melika, ukuzaliswa kohlobo lweRhodesian Ridgeback kusencane, nakuba kulokhu kunezimo zonke, kufaka phakathi amandla amakhulu kulezi zifunda. Kodwa zonke izinja ezingenzeka, kanye nabantu, zikhetha lezo zindawo lapho zizwa zikhululekile khona, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, ukuthi ukukhiqiza inja yendawo kufanele kube ezingeni elifanele, ufisa ukuzala izinja zeRhodesian Ridgeback.
Umsuka wohlobo.
Insimu yaseLatin America, enekhono elikhulu, ikhula ngokuqinile, lapho izinzalo zezinja ze-Ridgeback zikwazi ukulingana kahle. Ngingathanda ukukholelwa ukuthi ukuzaliswa kwezinja eNingizimu Melika kuzothola intuthuko efanele futhi yemvelo, ngenxa yokuhlanganyela njalo kwamaqembu amancane abathandekayo beqiniso. Namuhla, amazwe aseMpumalanga Yurophu akhiqiza ukuthengwa okukhulu kwempahla yenja, ukuvula ibhizinisi labo kulokhu. Kodwa ngenkathi abakhiqizi bebhekene nokukhathazeka okuthile, ikusasa lezinzalo zabo, i-Rhodesian Ridgebacks izoba kanjani.
Uhlobo lweRhodesian Ridgeback luye lwagubha ukuzalwa kwalo kusukela ngo-1922, ngenxa yentshiseko yalo, intshiseko nokuzinikela okukhulu kwebhizinisi layo elisha, uMnu. Francis Richard Barnes.
Ngesithakazelo esikhulu ungabona amarekhodi kaDisemba 1950. Lapho uMnu. Duram ephawula encwadini yakhe yokubhala ukuthi wayengeyena ozibonela ngokuzibonela kuphela, kodwa futhi nomhlanganyeli lapho izinga leRhodesian Ridgeback livunyiwe. Kwabe sekuthi ngo-1922 abanikazi bezinja zezingonyama okokuqala, njengoba bebizwa ngaleso sikhathi, baletha izifuyo zabo edolobheni laseBulawayo ngokuzimisela kokuzalwa nokubhaliswa kwi-Club of Dog Breeders eBulawayo. Umgomo oyinhloko walesi sithangami ngokuqondene nohlobo olusha lwe-canine lwaluzohlonishwa yi-South African Hogweed Union.
Ukuze kubonakaliswe intshiseko enjalo, uMnu., Owayengomunye wabagqugquzeli beli sithangami, wahlala enelisekile, ngoba abanikazi baletha izinja ezingaphezu kwezingamashumi amabili. Ukulethwa kwezinja kwakunezinhlobo eziningi namasayizi, ukuqala ngesincane, ngobukhulu, inkunzi yezinkunzi futhi kuphethwe inja ephansi yesiDanish. Umbala, naye, wawuhlukile, umbala kakhulu, ikakhulukazi umbala obomvu. Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuthuthukiswa kohlobo, kunqunywe ukudala iqembu. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, esinye seziphakamiso zokuqala ngezinga elizayo lohlobo lwakhulunywa. Ekuqaleni, akukho ukuqonda okwakutholakali, kodwa kancane kancane, ngokubukwa kwezilwane ezifuywayo, ekugcineni kwamukelwa izinga elilodwa elivunyelwe ngokuvamile, elichaza ubukhulu, ubukhulu, umbala wezinja ezizayo zeRhodesian Ridgeback. U-Duram no-Edmonds, abasebenza ngaleyo minyaka njenge-veterinarian oyinhloko ye-Southern Rhodesia, nabo basebenze izinga elifanele lolo hlobo.
Izimpande zeRhodesian Ridgeback zivela enja yokuzingela eholela ekuzingeleni isilwane esikhulu sezilwane. Inzuzo enkulu yalezi zinja kwakuwubuqotho babo obungabonakali ekuboniseni ubumnene, okwakusiza ukuba umngane omuhle kubomdabu basekhaya, oholele impilo yokuzidela, ehlala evelele ezingozini. Lokhu kubhekisela kubantu besizwe sama-Hottentot, owayehlala endaweni esifushane yaseBush yaseNingizimu Afrika. Ngaphambili kwakhiwe izwe laseGibhithe, iSouth Sudan ne-Ethiopia.
Imiphumela yemichibi yokuvubukula.
Uthole izithombe eGibhithe, kusukela ngo-4000 BC, lapho izithombe ze-hounds ezithengiswayo zibonakala ngokucacile, kufaka phakathi umfanekiso wesigca ngemuva. I-hypothesis yokubukeka kweRhodesian Ridgeback yokuqala emadodaneni ase-Hottentot iyabonakala kakhulu. Njengoba ama-Hottentot isizwe sathuthela eningizimu ezindaweni eziseNingizimu Rhodesia, iZambia naseTanzania, ekugcineni zifuduka zize zifike ePeninsula Point, lapho abaqotjhi bokuqala baseDutch babonakala khona ngo-1652, besungula indawo eKapa yeGood Hope. Kukhona ubufakazi obungenakuphikwa ukuthi, kanye nabantu abavela ezizweni zase-Hottentot, izinja zazivame ukuzingela, negijimi emhlane. Lokhu kuboniswa futhi ngemidwebo yamadwala etholakala endaweni yeZimbabwe yanamuhla, elitholakala ngamakhilomitha angamashumi amathathu enyakatho yeRussia.
Izinja ezikhulile ezizweni zase-Hottentots zazikhula kancane, ngamasentimitha angamashumi amane nesithupha nje kuphela. Isazi-mlando uGeorge McCaulhill sichaza le nja njengesidalwa esabekayo, esasifana nomzimba wengubo enejazi elikhukhumezayo emhlane, kodwa ekhula ngesizathu esithile ngendlela ehlukile. Inja yayizinikele kumnikazi wayo. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, lo mhlobo wenza ngcono ngokuhamba nezinja njengeGreyhound eyesizwe sakwaBakalahari. Kusukela kulokhu kuwela, ukuzalwa kwezinja ezizweni zaseHottentot kwaphakamisa izinga labo.
Phakathi nokucwaningwa okwenziwe ogwini loMfula i-Orange ngo-1936, iqembu labavubukuli eliholwa nguVou Schulmot lithola izinsalela zama-Hottentot. Futhi zitholakala endaweni yokulala engxenyeni ejulile ngamamitha amabili. Inhlanhla yayihambisana nabososayensi, njengoba inja ihlala ivunyelwe ukukhomba uboya bezinja, okuyinto eyisiliva neyifushane, nombala obomvu ukolweni. Ezinye izinsolo ezitshengiswayo zesizwe samaHottentot zatholakala esiqhingini saseVietnam sasePhuk Oak. Kulesi senzakalo ezincwadini ezahlukene kwakukhona ukuphikisana okuningi, okuyisisekelo sokuthola iqiniso, kusukela lapho inja ifike khona, ukusuka e-Afrika kuya empumalanga noma ngokuphambene nalokho. Enye yezingqinamba ezinelungelo lokuba khona, libonisa ukuthi kube khona ukuthula kwalolu hlobo kulezi zindawo, njengezinhlobo ezihlukene ezingenalo ukuthintana.
Kusukela ngo-1651, amaDashi ngaleso sikhathi ahlakulela ukuzaliswa kwezinhlobo ezintsha ze-canine, ngokuwela izilwane ezalethwa eYurophu ziye ezinhlotsheni zezinja zendawo. Ngakho kwakukhona inja ebomvu yase-African, eyayiba ngumholi weRhodesian Ridgeback yanamuhla.
