Kukhona izingxabano eziningi mayelana namakhono engqondo wezinja. Kodwa ingqondo yenja ayikaze ifundwe ngokwanele ukuze ichaze izikhathi ezithile zokuziphatha kwazo. Phakathi nezifundo ezihlukahlukene kanye nokuqaphela, kwavezwa ukuthi yiziphi izinja zezinja ezihlakaniphe kakhulu, ukuthi izinja zithinta kanjani izimo ezihlukene, ukuthi zihlakulela kanjani ukucabanga okuyizinto eziyingozi . Kodwa kufanelekile ukucabangela ukuthi ukulinganisa kwezinja ezihlakaniphile kuncike ekutheni amakhono abo anqunywe ngawo. Isibonelo, uma umgomo oyinhloko ikhono lokufunda, izinja eziphezulu eziphezulu ziholwa ngamakholomu omngcele, okulula ukuqeqesha. Izinja ezibeletha iBorder Collie zikwazi ukusebenza zombili njengenja yokuphepha futhi njengengane. Indawo yesibili kulolu hlu ithathwa yi-poodle, ilandelwa umalusi waseJalimane. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izinja ezinjalo ezihlakaniphile njengoba iChow Chow inendawo engama-75 kuphela, naphezu kokuthi lezi zinja zinekhono elikhulu lobuhlakani. Isikhundla esiphansi ekulinganisweni kungenxa yokuthi i-chow ngeke isebenze ithimba ngaphandle uma ibona kuyadingeka. Okufanayo kuya kubelusi baseCaucasus, lapho ukuqeqesha amanye amaqembu awakwazi ngisho nokusebenza. Isibonelo, uMalusi waseCaucasus ngeke avikele inkosi ekuqeqeshweni evela kumhlaseli wokuqala. Uqonda ngokucacile ukuthi akukho usongo, kodwa uma ekwazi ukumkhohlisa futhi ukholelwa ukuthi ukuhlasela kungokoqobo, khona-ke umhlaseli uzobe esengozini enkulu, ngoba inja iziphatha ngendlela engafaneleki ezimweni ezinjalo. Okufanayo kuya kuLaikas. Benza ngesisekelo salesi simo, futhi bangase bangalaleli. Lokhu kuziphatha akubonisi izinga eliphansi lokuhlakanipha. Kwaphela isikhathi eside ama-huskies ayengabangane bomuntu ezimweni ezinzima zenyakatho. Abantu kwakudingeka bathembele ngokukhululekile, ukuhogela nokuzwa izinja zabo, isibonelo, izinja ezisezintweni zingayeka noma zithathe inkosi ngokugcwele uma zizwa ingozi, ngokwesibonelo, i-cracks eqhweni. Ngakho-ke, baye baqonda ngokuqondile ubuhlobo bomuntu, ukuzithoba okungekho emthethweni akuyona into ehambisana nalesi sizwe, kodwa nokho ikhono labo lokwenza izinqumo zabo nokwenza ngendlela edingekayo esimeni esithile kubonisa ukuthi kukhona amakhono aphakeme kakhulu engqondo.
Uhlobo ngalunye lwezinja lwakhiwa noma luthonywa yizinhloso ezithile, ngakho-ke kunzima ukucacisa ukuthi yiliphi uhlobo oluhlakaniphile kakhulu. Isibonelo, ngisho nenja ehlakaniphile kakhulu, etholwa ukuvikelwa, ayikwazi ukusiza ekuzingeleni, kanti umngane wezinja, oqonda inkosi yakhe ngezwi elilodwa, uyazi amaqembu amaningi, akanakulusa, noma aqaphele kahle insimu. Yingakho kungenakwenzeka ukucacisa izinja ezihlakaniphile kakhulu. Kanti akunakwenzeka ukucacisa ukuthi ubani onengqondo kunekati noma inja. Amakati ajwayele ukujwayela imvelo, acabange ngokuhlukile futhi aqonde ulwazi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ikati ngeke lenze noma yini ephikisana nesifiso salo, ngisho noma liqonda ukuthi yini edingekayo kuyo. Inja ehlakaniphile ingase futhi ingenzi imiyalo engacabangi ukuthi iyakufaneleka, kodwa isenzo sakhe nesimo sakhe sengqondo
Ngaphezu kwamakhono afana nabehlobo oluthile, kuncike kakhulu emfundweni nasebusweni. Ngisho nenja ehlakaniphe kakhulu, uma ingafundile kahle, ingase ilahlekelwe yizimfanelo zayo. Isibonelo, i-retradver ye-Labrador ibhekwa njengenja elinganiselayo futhi eqeqeshwe kalula, esetshenziselwa njengenja yokuqondisa yokulondoloza nokusebenza kwamaphoyisa. Ngoluhlu olunjalo lwezinzuzo, i-Labradors ithatha enye yezindawo zokuqala kuzibalo zokuhlaselwa kwabantu. Lokhu kuphazamiseka kuchazwa yiqiniso lokuthi, benethemba lekhwalithi yohlobo, abanikazi abazange banakekele kahle imfundo, okubangele ukungalaleli nokuhlukunyezwa. Uma ngaphambi kokuthola i-puppy, abanikazi besikhathi esizayo bayokwazi ukuthi yiziphi izimfanelo izilwane zabo okufanele zibe nazo, ukuthi bangakanani isikhathi abanganikeza ukuqeqeshwa, yikuphi ukukhulisa nokunakekela okudingekayo ngenja, khona-ke bayokwazi ukukhetha uhlobo olufanele futhi bakhule inja ehlakaniphile kakhulu.
