Austineperez:
This is the vaccine the seller gave me

Did he tell you about keeping it in the fridge? These vaccines are kept in places where temperature is between 2 - 5 degrees.

This one have been used already and I don’t know a vet at awka

Austineperez:

ok. You can use Google maps or ask around.

Thanks I have done that. I am in Contact with one of them. I hope after the vaccine the dog can be allowed to at least walk around in the compound. Since she got here she have been indoors. Either in the parlour or room. I am scared of letting her walk around the compound because we have a local dog that’s not vaccinated. And it bothers me a lot she’s scared of coming outside the compound too

ok, but you have to be watchful of other dogs, because she's still small to move around for now.

Is it okay to let her play with other dogs? In the compound

Austineperez:

for now no, wait till she reaches three months. Since those dogs are older than her, just to avoid injury and diseases.

After three months she will be scared of going outside like so scared

Austineperez:

no she wouldn't, she would be happy to go out. Dogs enjoy exploring, so don't be worried. And when you want to introduce her to other dogs, please ensure that she's safe, because not all dogs are properly trained to accommodate other dogs.

Thanks I will be expecting that and I want her to be in a cage as soon as possible I don't want her to be friendly at all

Caging or not caging has nothing to do with her temperament. I know you see online where they advice people to cage their dogs if they want them to be agressive, but I want you to disregard that information, it's false.
Rottweilers are very agressive dogs, which are not advisable for first time owners to have. There's a difference between agressive dogs and territorial dogs. Dogs that are agressive are dogs that are scared and every large breed dogs instinct to something they're scared of is to attack it. A dog that is agressive means it was poorly trained and will be a problem for people around you and even to you the owner. When she grows, and you want to caution her, she might end up attacking you the owner, she will attack your friends and family, even children too and at that point you wouldn't find the dog fun being with.
A dog becomes territorial with age, it's in them, they don't teach them. A territorial dog means a security concious dog, it can tell the difference between family, friends and strangers. She would know when to attack and when to stand down, it means that she was well trained. Because she will listen to command and be obedient.
Rottweilers are known for their imbalanced temperament, that's why I'd advice you socialize her now that she's growing, let her mix with kids, play with them, also let her mix with other dogs and pets, let her understand you, your body language, make her your pet, let her get used to people you're closer too, and make her understand the difference between strangers and family, that's why taking dogs for walks is necessary, it makes them see lots of things and makes them bold.

If you think playing around makes dog friendly, ask yourself all those local dogs that live in houses with fences, are they friendly. You and I know you cannot enter that house at night without being harrased or even bitten.

when my boerboel was growing up, people said she would be too friendly, because she played too much, but when she got to four months, the territorial instinct kicked in, believe me, no one had the mind to come in my house without getting her initial growling sounds. She's friendly, and also perfect at security job. If I take her for walks, if I want to buy something around, when I'm facing the seller, she's backing me, and watching out for strangers. She doesn't attack children ileven if they're strangers, but she doesn't give similar treatment to adults. And that is because she can tell the difference between children and adults. I leave her to play with children and she has never bitten any of them. That's why I want you to understand the difference between a socially balanced dog and an agressive dog. Because you'll be scared of taking an agressive dog for walks, passersby are not safe too.

keeping pets in cages is only to restrict movement and nothing more.

Okay so you advice I just let her play for now?

Austineperez:
Okay so you advice I just let her play for now?

yes.

Okay I will do that

The dog plays alot. All she does is running Around. Very friendly with my friends

okay

Austineperez:
The dog plays alot. All she does is running Around. Very friendly with my friends

it's good, there's nothing wrong with it. Remember, it's only the friends you trust you should let her play with. The reason is to ensure that when she's fully grown, she wouldn't give people whom you dont trust access to you. She sees your friends as her friends, unless they prove otherwise.

Austineperez:

she's burning off excess energy, as she grows up, she'll stop.

harmargedon:

Okay thank. You. Also sometimes when I call her she won't answer unless I wave my hand. I don't know why.does it mean she don't know me yet?

Austineperez:

she's not used to the name yet, call her often, so she'll get used to it. It could also be that she's distracted by something, that's why she's not answering too.

This is what she looks like now. She’s 2 months and 1 week. She will take the vaccine again today.

what do you feed her?

I feed her with local food.i don't know what a 2 months old puppy should look like please do you advice I continue with the food or change it please.

Austineperez:

which local food? Like what and what?

It’s a mixture of Joro, Dawa, wheat, okpa, corn I have to grind this together. Please how is the dogs growth

Austineperez:

please stop feeding her all that. I told you earlier that dogs are carnivores animals, meaning they can only digest animal protein easily, they find plant protein difficult to digest. She's looking skinny, Puppies need more protein than the adults. The best and cheapest way to feed her for now is this:
Cook white rice, don't add salt. When the rice is well cooked, bring out the one you want to use at that moment, put it in a bowl, put either fish or meat(chicken or beef) in it, if you can find those smoked fish then it's good, avoid Bones, then also mix egg for extra protein. then you put Vegetables, either spinach (green) or ugu, slice it before putting it, then you can either use zito oil boosters which you'll get from a vet store, or coconut oil or palm oil. But I'd advice you use zito oil boosters till she's six months.
Fibers are not good for dogs, plant protein contains lots of fibers.
Rice: carbohydrates
Meat/fish: protein
Egg: protein/vitamins
Vegetables: vitamins/mineral
Zito Oil boosters: help her grow better fur. For the chicken meat, you can find where they sell the necks or yansh part, it's cheaper.

Judging from the pics of the parents her growth is poor, she's looking skinny.

Should I feed her more than 3 times a day? Because she eats three times a day I don’t know what the problem is. Maybe I should just go for can foods?

three times a day is good. Can food is good too, but also remember that they are designed for different ages. Many vet doctors don't advise you feed them regularly because of preservatives, but they also have dry food. You can try out booster dry food for puppies.
