ʻO ka hopena o nā'īlioʻo Laikaʻo Russian-Europa e pili ana i ka huliʻana. Ua hānaiʻia i ka waenakonu o ke kenekulia hope loa ma muli o ka heleʻana i nāʻano likeʻole o Laikas : Arkhangelsk, Zyryan, Votyak, Karelian, Vogul, Kirov, Kostroma, Mari, a me nā mea'ē aʻe. ʻO nāʻano pilikino likeʻole ka mea iʻikeʻia ai nā kikowaena nui o kēia mau hives i St. Petersburg, Moscow, Novgorod, Kirov, Yaroslavl a me nā kūlanakauhale Lūkini'ē aʻe. I ka makahiki 1946, ua loaʻa i ke kāneʻo Putik, ke kāne'ōpio a me ke keʻokeʻo, me nā hana maikaʻi loa a me nā kikoohana i lawelaweʻia e Pityuhi. ʻO kēiaʻano puaʻa,ʻo Siberian Kiʻekiʻe a me Siberiaʻo Laika, uaʻikeʻia e ka International Cynological Federation.
Hōʻike
ʻO kahi kūlana kūlana o kaʻano o ka hīnaʻi Lūkini me'Aulopa e hōʻike nei i nā mākaʻi e like me Spitz. Aia kēia mau'īlio i ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kiʻekiʻe,ʻaʻole iʻoi aku i ke 56 knm i ka maloʻo a me ka 58 knm i nā'īlio. ʻO ke kumukānāwai o nā holoholona he ikaika, maloʻo, puʻupuʻu mele i hoʻoikaika maikaʻiʻia, loea, ola. ʻO ke poʻo o ka laika, ua maloʻo, ākea ma ka waha o ke kuʻi, keʻano o keʻano, me ka'ōleloʻana i nā limulima mana. ʻO nā maka o nā poʻe Lūkini me'Aulopa, ua maopopo, me ka leo hauʻoli a me ka hauʻoli. Hiki keʻeleʻele aʻeleʻele paha ke kala. ʻO ka loheʻana i keʻano o kahi triangle, i hoʻonohonohoʻia i ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kiʻekiʻe, e kū ana a me ka lohi. Ua hoʻokiʻekiʻeʻia ka huelo o nā holoholona, kūlou i ke kua, ua paʻa mau i ka'ūhā, aiʻole ia i kuʻiʻia e ke apo. I ka wā e holo ai, huliʻo ia, a ma kahi mālie, hiki ke hoʻokuʻuʻia.
ʻAʻole i piha nāʻano o ka hoʻopiʻiʻo Russian-European a ināʻaʻoleʻo ia e haʻi i ka hulu o ka'īlio. Hiki pololei, kūleʻa, nani loa a me kaʻoluʻolu haʻahaʻa. Ma luna o nā mea maloʻo, nā poʻohiwi a me ka'ā'ī, ka lauoho hoʻohaunaele e hana i kahi mea hoʻonani a me ka momona nani, a ma nā pepeiao, ke poʻo a me nā pāwae, he pokole ka pua. Aia kekahi līpī lush ma nā wāwae. ʻAʻole kahi huelo ma ka huelo. Hiki i ke kala o kēia mau'īlio ke keʻokeʻo-ʻeleʻele aʻeleʻele a me keʻokeʻo. I kēia mau lā, ua ho'āʻo nā mea hoʻohiwahiwa e hānai i nā'īlio me ka hulu o ke kapa keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo, no ka mea,ʻoi aku ka holomua o kaʻimiʻana me ka hulu o nā'īlio Pākehā-Europa. Mai kaʻike o nā mea huli holoholona, uaʻikeʻia he "maikaʻi loa ka holoholona" ma lalo o nā'īlioʻeleʻele.
ʻO nā hewa i loko o ka pale nui aʻoiʻoi paha, nā'āpana nui a liʻiliʻi paha, nā mea liʻiliʻi, nā pepeiao i'ōwiliʻia a'ōpiopio paha, kahi pūpū a me ka huelo lōʻihi, a me ka hoʻoiliʻana o ka ihu.
ʻAno
Ua palekanaʻia nāʻano pilikino Lūkini meʻApelika. Ma muli o keʻano liʻiliʻi nui,ʻaʻole i pilikia nā manaʻo o nā lālani Russian-European. Hiki i kēia mau'īlio ke hahai i ka huli holoholona, nā hoa a me nā meaʻai wale. ʻO kaʻoi aku,ʻo ia ka mea iʻoi aku ka maikaʻi iā lākou, akā, no kēia mea, he mea maʻamau ka aʻoʻana i ka Lūkini Lūkini. Ua hoʻohanaʻia lākou ma nā mea'ē aʻe eʻike i ka poʻe i nalowale.
Inā hōʻeuʻeu ka'īlio e kūʻai i kahi kula hānai kūikawā, e hāʻawiʻia ka inoa i kapaʻia no ka'īlio Lūkini-'Epelani e nā mea hoʻolele. Inā makemakeʻoleʻoe, hiki iāʻoe ke piʻi mai me kahi koho "home". Hoʻomaopopo kokeʻia ka inoa o ka pipi i ka inoa a me ka'īlio a me kahi mea maikaʻi. Eia kekahi laʻana, ma ka hānaiʻana, heleʻana a pāʻani paha i nā pāʻani. I kekahi mau lā ma hope mai, e hoʻomaopopo ka'īlio he pono ke hanaʻia kēia hui o nā leo.
ʻO ka palapala o Laika e hele mau ana i nā lā a pau, me nā kaumaha o ke kino, ka hoʻonaʻauaoʻana, mālama mau no ka huluhulu maʻemaʻe, a me ka hānaiʻana. ʻO nā pilikia me ka mea e hānai ai i ka huhū Lūkini meʻApelika,ʻaʻole e ala, no kaʻaiʻana o ka'īlio i ka meaʻai. Eia naʻe,ʻaʻoleʻoe e hoʻopolo i kāu pipi. E nānā pono i ka meaʻai, me ka meaʻai, aia nā poʻi, nā mea kanu a me ka hīnī.
