Gustaf killed a green snake and cut of it's head OMG

Heard weird noise last night, wondering what was going on in the front yard unknown to me my boy has caught an intruder

Who knows if this snake would have sneaked into our cars or store but this guy stopped and tore it into pieces.... It stinks so bad that i didn't want to take any more pictures of it rather than throw it away asap

By the way, I'm already making plans to get another pup since murphy's demise but still contemplating on the breed to go for, this time I'm going for a pedigree

Anyone has a suggestion for me?

Will suggest you trh a Belgian Malinois. Close to a GSD and have about same enegery level with a DDR. Highly intelligent and a general purpose dog. They don't continually challenge the alpha position unlike Rotts, Boerboel and Caucs. Cos you can trvell and be sure your family is in safe hands
Oluomoadebayo is into Belgian and he does pedigree. Perhaps he can be of HELP. He's got great stock too

Awch your reply is late, I got a boerboel already. Just read on you'll get to meet him

Yes.. Really a late comer k. This one and e pain me die. Been scouting phone section for some months now. Had to change my device nd spend quality time searching for the best, within my budget. I really missed a lot, and I wish to own a GSD like Gustaf. I for don offer to buy am sef, if I had the requirements to own a dog now. Stil trying to catch up on the thread though. Started from page 22, on page 28 now.. Quick question, if it doesn't make you uncomfortable
How did you handle Murphy's demise (I have cried for a boerboel that isn't mine, when I remembered our moments together even more that 2yrs after it's demise, cis of how well we bonded. Can't imagine a great owner like you)
How did Gustaf handle the demise of his beloved partner? Did he cry occasionally?
How did you dispose of Murphy's carcass

IamAnderson:

bro don't answer the idiot again, don't you know that username?
it's just a sad,pathetic,useless, jobless poor sap behind the screen don't bother wasting your energy replying him.
he's just an attention LovePeddler and he isn't on your thread to reason

It's like we have representatives of people With this exact personality, on different sections. Pathetic if you ask me. Silence treatment is usually the best response. Thanks for the heads up.

Never argue wit an idiot: they'll drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.

After Murphy's death Gustaf wouldn't eat, play nor exercise freely as he always did. He was like this for more than 2weeks which caused emotional setback for me looking at him lying around sometimes panting. He was really depressed that I had to call my vet for assistance before something bad happens to him

For me, damn it wasn't easy at all as my heart went cold through out that month loosing my best friend whom I've bonded with for 3yrs, but then what do I do? After all i believe all dogs for to heaven so i had to accept the fate and move on. I believe God knows best

Don't worry. They are totally safe for dogs. Not only safe but healthy.
U could google it for ur own peace of mind... "pawpaw (papaya) healthy for dogs"
Jack eats it all the time and he loves it

fowlyansh181:
please google this before giving your dog stuffs.. although my dogs love banana a lot and can finish a bunch, I have never heard nor tested the pawpaw theory

The only fruit i give my older dog is carrot, as in he eats it well because i learnt it's good for dogs

I thought onions, chocolates and fruits (I think carrot is a legume rather than fruit) are harmful to dogs... Am I wrong?

I don't know if clingier is correct but[b] I haven't seen a dog clingier than a Dobberman [/b] my only problem with GSD is that they don't get tired my GSD was always ready there was a day we went for a 6KM jog when we came back I thought she would be calm and relax but I was wrong she starting her unnecessary barking almost immediately

So I learnt from Caesar Milan show, and the video I saw was really terrifying, until it was corrected int the dog.. The anxiety problem was really alarming. A camera was planted in the sitting, the owners gave the dog a rub and Walked out. The dog ran y the window after the dog was shut and watched the owners go out of site. After like 5mins, it started whining. It does that for more that 8rhs til the owners return everytime. But when they also return, you need to see the energy at which the Doberman use to welcome them. Such a hug one almost knocking them over. It does like it has not seen its owner for weeks... Can you envisage tht kind of energy for a good owner

IamAnderson:

lmao he's basically my son
I raised him since he was still tripping over his feet so i had to carry him sometimes when he was a 4 week old pup alone without littermates till he grew up to an adult dog, I also thought him every thing he knows so I'm really attached

and the grooming is done by me so I appreciate the compliments

In your mind, you are feeling like a father
I knw that confidence with bragging right about huge bondings. Kudos to you

okikiosibodu:

those are bad

i have a pedigree Caucasian, seven of mine friends have a pedigree Caucasian, few of my work colleagues have pedigree caucasians, caucasians are just large teddy bears.. mind you I also own other dogs /breed, they instinctively keep at alert and are very active guard dogs ...

Age isn’t really a matter here any dog that will be a good guard dog starts showing signs from puppy hood, all my other dogs did and still do..

You're right, and at the same time wrong.
Many of the Caucs in Nigeria are adulterated, and their genes are messed up. Why, many "breeders" improve on looks and sizes since that is what many buyers are interested in, but the genetic make up of a real Cauc gets messed up in the dog, so u basically have to teach it to do what it ought to do naturally. I have heard of really big Caucs that are very timid. They every run from strangers, some hardly bark. Saw a thread several years ago about dogw walk that 2 Caucs couldn't participate in cos of their sizes: they were tired.
But for a pedigree Cauc... A real one, the gaurd instincts come naturally. I learnt there are really reputable breeders with good stock similar to foreign ones in Jos, and PH, and I think Delta state
A Cauc can be a killing machine if not well socialized.. It is quite territorial than a rott. It is not meant for a first timer that has no canine knowledge
It's a time bomb waiting to explode

First Aggression in a dog is a bad thing. Don't know why people think a dog being aggressive means it has good traits.

A dog can be a good guard dog or watch dog without being an aggressive dog. Now that's how you know a well bred dog.

Even a chihuahua can be aggressive. It doesn't have anything to do with the dog size.

OP, I love Gustaf. I'm a sucker for Gsds. Hope you're giving him the necessary training. Would be nice if you posted some videos of him performing some basic commands

Finally, here is someone that gets my point. Many of them intend saying "territorial" when they use the word "aggressive"

Yeah, there are no bad dogs, only bad owners. Sorry sey my own don dey too much for your thread, was trying to catch up on it. It feels so good to be home.
How did you dispose of Murphy' s carcass?.
Pls reply your dm.. Possible you send you WhatsApp number via it

vincentjk:


Lols December sounds far because it's Christmas season but it's actually next month. I'm planning on buying augusto's direct sister too (the one i placed for sale last week). She's a brindle cute bab[color=#990000][/color]

What do you think?

agboedeh:

Buy the female pup. It would be a very good idea.

BLAIDE:


Won't u be running the risk of inbreeding if u get the litter mate?

vincentjk:


I never said I'd breed her, I'm a dog lover not a breeder

I was going to talk about inbreeding. I wil advice against such, esp since you are not a breeder. You can stil patronise same breeder, but not same litter. Side-breeding is stilk quite better but even at that, great knowledge comes into play. Some breeders that knoe their onions inbreed but this is done among pedigrees and it is aimed at getting a result.
Fine you might agree not to breed two of them together but isn't it stressful looking for a stud when the bitch comes on heat, whereas you have a male Boerboel? Also will your mind be at rest when you are away from home, knowing the bitch is on heat?
What will you do when you return home and do over they have mated?

You guys are here dining while I'm on the other thread trying to convince someone about a thing.

Lol

a dog cannot be a guard dog without being aggressive.
aggression is being violent or being willing to be violent, it doesn't mean being reckless and uncontrollable.
even the most well trained police dogs are aggressive and can kill on command, they actually drop any dog that doesn't show sign of aggression off the k9 squad.
aggression is not a bad thing in dogs, aggression is very normal, it only becomes bad when the dog is reckless and uncontrollable.
check my first reply I sent to you about this issue I also attached the definition of aggression, as far as the dog growls, barks or attack it's an aggressive dog.
a dog can be aggressive and well balanced and trained.
territoriality is being aggressive to intruders that breach your territory, a dog cannot be called territorial without being aggressive, if an intruder steps in it'll either be violent or show willingness to be violent which is defined as aggression

it's just that a lot of Nigerians see "aggressive" as dogs that are reckless and uncontrollable which is wrong, a dog can be aggressive and well balanced, aggression isn't a bad trait in dogs.
every guard dog is an aggressive dog but not every aggressive dog is a good guard dog

Oluomoadebayo is into Belgian and he does pedigree. Perhaps he can be of HELP. He's got great stock too

The good ones will challenge your alpha position more than any breed of dogs and the DDR don’t have their stamina.

Really!? Great to know. We learn everyday. Fell in love more with the breed when I watched a video of Triump honouring a Belgian in white House for a successful operation. I remembered you instantly.

On Monday morning i noticed a change in Augusto's behaviour but couldn't comprehend what was wrong until i returned from work in the evening. Augusto is sick, has gotten real lean and his appetite is nowhere to be found

I hope and pray he recovers with time so that he'd do some filling, I need to walk him for the first time this Christmas like i said earlier

I took this screenshot from someone's status wishing Augusto a quick recovery, a Nairalander and a dog lover her moniker is Lolipopandy


Let's all wish him quick recovery

Get well soon August......sad
