Good morning fellow dog lovers and breeders alike...Been thinking of building a thread like this for long, just so we can learn from each other...I got thinking recently, especially on the errors people make in choosing a wrong breeding program, all in the name of trying out new things...Yea I agree, it's nice to try out new things but not at the detriment of certain standards...Just recently, someone here on NL mated a bullmastiff with a rottie, practices like this must be frowned upon cos it adds no value to our breeding standard here in Nigeria...Most people don't see any harm in such practices, that's because they are not aware of the long term implications attached to them. I believe YOU and I can change the system!!!

I implore all breeders and pet owners to please share their programs here so we can learn from each other...
It should include:
PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM
METHODOLOGIES
AIMS
PROPOSED DURATION ETC

STUD: Black and Tan GSD
BITCH: Long Haired Gold GSD

PURPOSE: A Pure strain of long Haired Slant back Gold GSD (Through repeated breeding and selective breeding)

METHODOLOGY: A stock breed from the first filia generation will be bred back into the bloodline of the gold slants, with the aim of picking a stock breed from every subsequent generation and breeding them back into the gold slant bloodlines....

AIM: A time will come when the Gold Slant will be all dominant over the Traditional black and tan coat. This implies that every litter that comes after this will appear GOLD Slanted...(PURPOSE ACHIEVED)

WHAT PROMPTED THIS: I've been on GSDs for decades now, but just only once have I come across a GOLD SLANT with the ability of reproducing an all-Gold Offsprings...It's also coupled with the idea of "wanting to try out new things"...

Please pals, all ideas are welcome, i'll particularly appreciate all criticisms as this will help me work on the motives and materials of this project...

Ok...as for me, I no sabi d big grammar wey broda arcbay dey talk...lol.

Basically I breed boerboel, tho I have a great passion for straighbacks(gsd).

I reserve one female from each of my litter, they litter twice in 3years, and retire.then the daughter will pick the baton.

To me, it's breeding till I find excellence. And when I find it, maintaining it is the goal.

Lol...nice thread o oga arcbay and oga prodeegee...me no suppose post where my ogas dey post sha ...but lemme just drop something
I actually have great passion and love for the large breeds of dogs....started of with gsd's ...but now I do boerboels ,Rottweilers and Caucasians ...
Aim :to breed dogs locally here in Lagos Nigeria to the point that I could get close to perfection and be able to match my dogs up with the world standard
And that people from other countries could come in to view or purchase them here in Lagos ..sorry for all the long talks...but the 3 breeds I mentioned have been bastardized and demoralized in physique and stature...(used to be part of them tho lol) so now I am starting to make amends and little by little we would get there...thanks

I introduce to you, the first filia generation of my last programme.

Meet "castro", he came into the world unaccompanied, named after cuba's "fidel castro". The good part is that he was named by his godmother, "olori smileysmiles", whatever her reasons for giving him that name, lmao.

Anyways, na so i see am o, on that fateful day, wey only castro stroll comot from inside him mama womb o...
Attached are pictures of him at birth, a week old and 2weeks.

Oh and i forgot to add...His mom doesnt want her assets to sag, so she doesnt breastfeed him, castro has been living on SMA from birth, and lest i forget, HE IS A GLUTTON, he eats twice as much as he should, too big for his age too...

Last set of pictures were snapped at 3weeks...

Give him my mobile number.

Broda people keep referring liver and tan gsd as albino, of which in history of gsd there is nothing close to albinoism. It's just a recessive gene coloration, which has absolutely nothing to do with it's temperament, intelligence and friendliness. Even they don't even have health issues as a result of that. Am so in love with mine. U can do your research to confirm my points. I have four liver and tan, a solid white and a black and tan pups in a litter of six pups.

I beg to disagree with you...

Certain breed of dogs are known to carry a gene mutation that causes albinism. Albinism in dogs is never a defect, it is a condition that results in little or no pigmentation in skin, hairs and eyes. This is caused by an absence or defect of the enzyme "tyrosinase" responsible for the synthesis of melanin pigment, which in turn is responsible for skin, eye and hair colour.

Of course it has nothing to do with temperament and all, at least not scientifically proven yet.
Where are you located? Really don't mind getting one of those kids...
