A full breed german shepherd should be between 35k-45k
As for a caucasian, they grow too big and i don't trust them with kids

Technically there is no pedigree dog in Nigeria,because we have no registry or kennel club,therefore you can only take the breeders word for it.

Let me show you what a pure breed gsd looks like in Naija and nobody will sell it @45k those dogs are mutt.

Well this female is expecting.

A pedigree gsd can never be 45k oga,you guys should start telling buyers the difference between pure bred dogs and dogs mixed with other dogs. Please see the pictures I posted above,the guy wey get these dogs are in Onitsha.

how much is a puppy ?

I've seen GSDs bigger than this and d puppy cost just #30,000.
If ure doubting me, I can give u d contacts here in Ibadan.

People reserve the right to sell their pups at whatever price dey deem fit, but not every dog that is big and with black mouth is a gsd. Those dogs there have full akc pink papers with their pedigree registration, so Please kindly upload the pictures of the parents let us compare the dogs and I'll show you the difference. Cheers.

Here in Lagos, I know a guy that sells rottweilers for 200k in festac. 21 rd D close house 16 and if you see dem no be person go tell you. There are breed standard and those gsds are perfect breed standards.

N:B you can cross a gsd with a mastiff and it will grow bigger and still look like a gsd, does that make it a pure gsd?!! Also did you notice the slant back?

Hi guys, I have gotten calls from clients interested in having a pup.. Most questions are "are you in Lagos?", then followed by "how can we meet?", am in Jos, Plateau state. My Email is geoffreymadu@yahoo.com or send me a message on faceboook and the name is "jeff madu". You can also call me on 2348036095726. Its good meeting fellow breeders and dog lovers. Regards.

Like i said, I can give you the contact. I don't own the dogs and i don't have their pictures.
About a rottweiler been sold for 200k, there'll be people who'll buy them, but as for me I can get a rott of the same quality at a lower price. My neighbour has a rott thats just 9 months old and if you see the dog...[i'll get the pic soon].
Telling me that not all big dogs are GSDs...I recognise a full breed when I see them sir.
If you cross a GSD with a mastiff, do you think it'll still look like a GSD? NO! so don't think I mistake any big dog for a GSD
And about the slant back[roach back], its not a slant back that makes a full breed GSD. Straight back GSDs are also full breeds[not all tho]. In fact, straight back GSDs are more healthy than the slant backs cos slant back GSDs are more prone to hip displaysia.
Feel free to google straight back GSDs and roach back[slant back] GSDs if you don't beleive me sir

Here's a full breed with no roach back

dapsondou: Here's a full breed with no roach back

The bone of contention here is that you claimed to have pedigree pups for #30k the picture I asked for are for the parents of the pedigree.

Also I never said its only slant backs that are pedigree gsds, I have owned straight back pedigree gsds. You are pulling a straw-man here

I'll repeat it here again no pedigree gsd pup will go for less than 120k,unless the breeder na ur babe or something.

That 30k pup is probably a mutt,but convince me with a picture simple

No. I'm hearing alpha dog for the first time and i will search and watch it . Thanks though.

Wix4real:
You must have watched Alpha dogs, cos the main dogs used are belgian malinois.. And i must say they are very smart and just the right dog for guard and pet. Good luck in ur search, hope u get 1 anyway.

I never said pedigree german shepherd costs #30,000. My argument was that I've got where FULL BREED GSD costs #30,000. The person asked how much he can get a full breed GSD and i told him the price range.
And if I may ask, is it only pedigree dogs that are full breed?

Pls whats d difference btw asentia and german sherpard....pictures ll be great.

addictiv: Pls whats d difference btw asentia and german sherpard....pictures ll be great.

A full breed is a edigree..its one and the same

Dear Addictiv,

Contrary to popular belief there is NO DIFFERENCE between the German shepherd dog and the Alsatian dog.

The breed's standard name is German shepherd dog, however during the second World War, the British decided to name the dog the Alsatian, which refers to a region called Alsace. The Alsace region is today a part of France but the people there speak a dialect that is a part of the German language. After the war, the British changed the breed's name back to German shepherd.

I hope that answers your question.

Other names used:
Schäferhund
Berger Allemand
Deutscher Schäferhund
GSD

You can get a pedigree GSD for as low as 45k depending on whom you are buying from,there are dog owners out there with pedigree dogs that sell at low price just to cover for feeding and upkeep of the dogs.
A brigadier general in Ojo barracks sold his pups for just 40k,both parents of the pups were imported.
Even in Germany GSD are not expensive as the rotties, its only breeders that sell dog at high prices,dog owners can decide to sell at any price they deem fit.
I personally will spend any amount to get caucasian,boerboel,bullmastiff,cane corso,presa, st. Bernard but cant spend more than 65k on a GSD as long as the pups were birthed here in Naija.
I bought my pure breed caucasian from an army officer in Ojo barracks for just 80k and at 7 months its bigger than the one a friend bougth almost same time from a breeder in otta for 180k.
