Ingabe lukhona uhlobo lwenja olungaqeqeshelwa ukuthatha isimo? Abanikazi abavamile ukufundisa imidlwane yabo leli khono, kodwa ukuqeqeshwa kulokhu kungaba nezinzuzo zako.

Ibukeka kanjani inja uma ithatha isimo sokuzingela?

Inja ithatha ukuma, ibekwe endaweni eqandisiwe, ivame ukuphakamisa udladla olulodwa lwangaphambili bese ikhomba ikhala layo ohlangothini oluthile. Lokhu ukwenza ukuze adonsele ukunaka kokuthile futhi atshele umnikazi wakhe amthandayo ukuthi abheke kuphi. Nakuba abaningi bethi lokhu kuziphatha kubangelwa izinja ezazizalelwe ukuzingela, ezinye izinhlobo nazo zingasithatha lesi simo.

Kusho ukuthini ukuma kokuzingela enjeni? Lokhu ngokuvamile kusho ukuthi uthole okuthile okuthakazelisayo. Kungaba idada, ingwejeje, noma ngisho nebhola lethenisi. Emagameni ezinye izinhlobo ngesiNgisi kukhona igama elithi pointer ("pointer"), isibonelo, i-shorthaired pointer yaseJalimane, okusho ukuthi izinja ezinjalo zithanda ukuthola izilwane ezincane, zikhomba indawo yazo futhi zizidonsele ngaphandle.

Uma inja yakho iyinyoni, lokhu kungase kukusize ufunde ngamanye okhokho bayo!

Uma kuziwa ezinhlotsheni zezinja zezemidlalo, umuntu kufanele akhumbule inhlanganisela eyingqayizivele yokucabanga kwabo okuzimele kanye nokuzimisela ukubambisana. Pho kungani izilwane ezifuywayo zithatha ukuma, zibanda phambi kwabantu? Ngaphezu kokujabulela ukuhlola izwe elibazungezile bebodwa, bajabulela nokusebenza nezinye izinja nokuba abalingani nabantu. Zombili izici zomlingiswa wabo okhethekile zivela esimweni.

Amathiphu okufundisa izinja ukuthatha ukuma
