Hello!

Just to enquire please, is pork a cheap protein alternative or why have you opted for that?

Pork is almost equal to chicken but I personally prefer it do to the availability in my locality and the sure healthiness of the pigs slaughtered everyday. Are you planning on switching to pork?

Their bones and meat tend to be softer as well

I’m Willing to try it depending on the costs. Will make enquiries around me. Thank you!

chicken is the preferred meat for dogs because it's white meat and it has less fat because the fat is usually on the skin and not in the flesh unlike red meat(cow,pork and goat), also it's easily obtainable plus the bones are easily grinded.
pork and beef can be too fatty so you have to select the "lean" parts of the meat.
but pound for pound chicken is more protein filled than beef or pork
chicken is about 80% protein per piece while beef is 53% protein and 10% fats
fish is 46%-50 something (depends on the type of fish) turkey is 70%
pork is also 53%
in case anyone was wondering.

Augusto is growing well, he's going to be a nice big dog when he's grown wink
and his weight is good too

Perfect write up and nice breakdown for some of us lacking these ideas. So chicken clearly has more protein content than pork, I didn't know the gap was really this much. Thanks for the info bro

How did you know what he weighs by looking at pictures alone lol

suprisingly, egg is only 35% protein but it is loaded with other vitamins and minerals that contribute in making it basically a balanced diet. the most proteinous part of egg is the egg white( for those who seperate egg yolks and feed pups instead of whole eggs), the yolk is richer in vitamins and minerals so eggs should always be fed whole and it should not be more than 10% of your dog's nutritional intake so eggs shouldn't be your dog's main protein source, it's just a supplement.
I just estimated his weight with the pics lol

Nah Augusto isn't the playing type at all, in fact he began playing with us some weeks back due to the bonding but never plays with strangers at all.

He'd sniff and try to dodge a stranger's hand if they get too close to him, I so like that and the aggression training/tug of war I practice with him is beginning to create confidence and boldness in him. That has been my priority long before i got him

I lock him up as soon as we've a visitor, people barely visit us btw expect this festive season

The muscles you see is a natural thing inherited from parent, this is Augusto's dad and he's not even upto 2yrs yet. Augusto will still bulk up real good but wouldn't grow fat

I don't really know much about bullymax and supplements as I don't use them bro

this tug of war and play wrestling always works in boosting the confidence and boldness of a dog.
it's a healthier and more effective way of making your dog brave and bringing out the guard instinct than frequent locking and lack of socialisation.
if you continue it you'll be proud of how Augusto will be acting in adulthood wink

bloodline
sex
exercise and feeding all contribute in the muscular look you want.
males are more muscular than females, feed more of protein for muscle building, exercise frequently and sometimes even if you do all these things, if your dog isn't from a muscular massive bloodline then you won't get exactly the same result

try what Vincentjk is doing with Augusto it'll help her, as she matures the training will help the instincts kick in.
instead of just frequent walks, engage her in rough play and allow her playfully attack you, sometimes let her chase you around.
within some time, she'll start barking and she'll start showing signs of aggression on her own

it's the weather, raw egg, fish oil or coconut oil will make his coat shinier.
don't bathe too frequently this period, the dog's natural coat oil is important at this point too, bathing will wash it off and leave the coat in worse condition

Some pictures of Augusto I took on new year day. At the end happiness is all that really matters. He's currently 4months old

Re: Murphy the Boerboel and Gustaf the German shepherd by vincentjk(m): 1:12pm On Jan 03, 2020
He's gradually bulking up and the features are already becoming obvious at 4months
