chucky234: You can get a pedigree GSD for as low as 45k depending on whom you are buying from,there are dog owners out with pedigree dogs that sell at low price just to cover for feeding and upkeep of the dogs.
A brigadier general at Ojo barracks sold his pups for just 40k,both parents of the pups were imported.
Even in Germany GSD are not expensive as rotties, its only breeders that sell dog at high prices,dog owners can decide to sell any price they deem fit.
I personally will 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.

Thanks sir.
This man arguing probably doesn't know much about GSDs.
Found out he's still trying to import dogs.
You just told him the truth..GSD for #120k? hilarious

You dont have to be a breeder to own pedigree dog(s).

chucky234: You dont have to be a breeder to own pedigree dog(s).

A guy that has just one dog is most likely to produce mutts

If you have a pedigree female dog on heat all you need do is look for someone with pedigree male to mate your biitch,that guarantee good pups at the end of the day.

That is exactly what I expected from him,his ego and ITK attitude will not let him realise that.

If you check previous posts you'll see how he's been arguing with me. I later learnt he doesn't even have a dog, he's just planning to get one.

lol....
He will end up getting a well feed basenji for a mastiff.

We can all help him to get his desired dog but he needs to ask. We are all here to share knowledge. I think he is about to buy GSD from abroad.

He can get good pedigree GSD in Lagos or Jos at reasonable price,there is no point importing a GSD from Germany.

Please underline the key word MOST LIKELY the probability is higher,the risks are more. I never said it was impossible, but I'll rather buy from you if I know you own at least 4 dogs than one bitch.

About the GSDs that you bought a dog for 700k doesn't guarrantee pedigree but buying from a breeder with reputation helps reduce that risk and breeders with reputation sell dogs a tad bit more expensive than backyard breeders. But telling me a pedigree gsd is 40k? Abeg simple show me where the dogs are I will gladly buy. Simple

Lol I have 2 rotweillers and a Belgian Malinois and I am not a breeder. I have owned dogs since I was a toddler. I once bought a 'supposed' gsd for 40k and I was grossly disappointed. I had to sell d dog. Asides from my Belgian Malinois I haven't seen a malinois in Nigeria


I want to buy a pedigree gsd too,if you check my posts you'll see the ppic I posted of a friends Gsd the two dogs. The female is pregnant

oluomoadebayo:

Well Bro...if I had two pedigree dogs(male and female) and chuks had one (a female), if both littered who would you rather buy from.

Remember that my female might have been impregnated by a low quality dog that is not mine.

I have no doubt some of you are nice breeders but most dogs bred in Nigeria is crap!!!!

There is no such thing as reputable breeder,having good pups is making sure you mate your biitch with the right stud,you dont need to own flock of dogs to achieve.
I belong to many dog groups including the Boerboel association and I can tell you here that many assumed reputable breeders have chun out more bad pups than ordinary dog owners, we have treated such cases on dog lovers community on several occassions.

You own a Belgian Malinois in Nigeria?

Seems we are having discrepancies in our definition of reputable!

Not every breeder is reputable infact most Nigerian breeders don't even know how to be reputable even if they wanted to. Do you know you are supposed to test the genetics of dogs before breeding? Do you know that not every pedigree dog is supposed to be bred? Eg if the dog shows evidence of aggressions? Do you also that a dog that you can't trace the geneology to 7 generations back is technically not a pedigree?

So this the definition of reputable

1.reputable - having a good reputation; "a reputable business"; "a reputable scientist"; "a reputable wine"
honourable, honorable - worthy of being honored; entitled to honor and respect; "an honorable man"; "led an honorable life"; "honorable service to his country"
respectable - characterized by socially or conventionally acceptable morals; "a respectable woman"
disreputable - lacking respectability in character or behavior or appearance


A breeder that has bred quality dogs over many years with people that can firmly and positively attest to the breeders commitment to quality dogs,is what I refer to as a reputable breeder. Saying there is nothing like a reputable breeder is laughable!! That means there's nothing a reputable scientist?

And please chuks my brother link to the pedigree pupp that goes for 40k I want to buy. Thanks

Just a test for you,identify the popular breed below.

chucky234: Just a test for you,identify the popular breed below.

Can you show me the dogs full picture so I can use other features to make a conclusion?

For one it is in the mastiff family...

GeneralShepherd:

There is no other features except the back legs, the face is the point to note.
Its not a mastiff ooo

Double post

Well from the face alone you can't tell but a fair guess
You identify a dog by
1.Head form
2.Peculiar Breed markings
3Chest size
4.Length from tail to head
5.Length from the ground to the top of the back
6.Most importantly DNA testing
Will guess it is a Terrier I say it is mixed with a mastiff because of the body size..

And yes I am guessing or do you all the breeds so I can test you as well?

A neighbor has a Caucasian/German mixed breed, 3months old and I am really interested in getting one. I insisted on seeing the parents and noticed that the male looks and behaves more german, while the female displayed immense aggression and had attacked someone who she didnt know (sercurity guard) that brought her food. The aggression I think is a Caucasian trait. I want a dog with more's caucasian traits and would like to know how to identify it among the pups. They are really agile and quite hungry too as they seemed b3nt on milking their mother dry.

You dont need plenty grammar to identify a dog you are familiar with,what you are seeing in that pic is a pure breed Russian shepherd (caucasian) dog. A lay man who is only familiar with the double coated type would refer to it as a bad dog or a mixed breed, breed has varieties.

This a caucasian with a different coating that dog is not a caucasian

google is your friend

This where you got your image from

http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-14422087/stock-photo--caucasian-dog.html?src=same_artist-14422126-5

Unless you want to tell me the AKC is wrong

The caucasian is a mountain dog and their striking feature is their very thick coat so unless you shaved that dog in that picture there is no way in hell it is a caucasian. that is why I asked for a full picture but of course you downloaded it from the internet.
