space9880: physical exercise is not a problem I tire him out almost everyday, I have balls we use to play fetch but I don't leave it with him his jaws are strong and can pop almost anything, he is well socialised and behave well in public, he stays inside my house so I don't know the kind of attention he is looking for maybe it's psychological I don't know I used to feed binggo in the morning , JoJo in the afternoon , restaurant food at night but I switched to only booster now for about 2 months, I stopped giving bullymax too I'll start giving him again.
So his nutrition is fine.... I'll advice u to go to the vet. My former gsd had such a thing which was diagnosed by my vet. He would try to put anything in his mouth including paper , his own poo, stone etc. He later died due to a nerve problem.
Go to ur vet before he swallows anything that can affect his digestive system
fowlyansh181: caucasian mountain dogs ain’t no wolf killer that was in the old days , not anymore, I wouldn’t want to derail a great thread for the purpose of argument so I’ll leave it at that , forget all you see on Wikipedia/google and actually experiment with the dog,
You can also check out this video And watch while listening closely ... Caucasian’s are large teddy bears ,
pls don't derail this thread. Stop generalizing. let us focus on the topic of this thread and if u have any argument ,u will start a new thread about it.
I am sure that if it were Americans or Germans introducing this dogs to us as strong and athletic medium sized hunters dog. People in Nigeria will be more than willing to buy it for 500k "imported"
Bridget95: Behold the disgusting eku ke AKA African local breed and you even make bed for am,are you ok? Common send the thing outside to go and pursue rats and lizard.
vincentjk: You don't call it obese at this stage because a boerboel puppy should look fleshy, my boerboel pup isn't as fleshy as this guy but he's a pedigree still. Purity sometimes isn't by looks but by knowing the history of the dog
Your dog looks cool but isn't a pure breed, I'm happy you love him
[quote author=space9880 post=83601626][/quote]try exercising him more often under close supervision. U could also get hard(durable) toys for him to chew on inorder to divert his attention. If u are d type that yell at ur dog, try to stop it in order to prevent anxiety and depression. Proper socialisation is required, it help prevent unnecessary nervousness, anxiety and attention seeking behaviour. Go to ur vet to prescribe medicines just incase the cause is not psychological. The problem might even be lack of nutrients.... if u don't mind me asking, wat is ur current feeding plan like?
space9880: I don't leave my dog even when I'm around I live in a compound with people I trust him but I don't trust them I only leave him at night and he started a bad behavior of eating stones he can finish one full block over night so I've stopped letting him out at all except I'm outside but when I'm going in he goes in too
this is dangerous. Ur dog might have pica syndrome.
Jh0wsef: he's aggressive. He's security cautious. I give him anything. but he doesn't eat plain rice. I give him mainly raw fish heads. I get enough for about N200
Spanishmilf: My previous gsd i walk him 30min 3 to 4 weeks in a week... But when i wsnt to sleep at night or early in the morning that when barking spirit usually descend on d dog
3 to 4 times in a week is not exercise, its warming up..lol
Spanishmilf: my dad only likes gsd... Nothing buy gsd the first money ha gave me, e told me to buy gsd i bought a bb This is d 2nd time he is telling me to buy gsd and for ny area where i dey my e neigbiurs get gsd if light no dey we no go quick sleep because those bark loves barking and whining.....
Gsd's are not noise makers. They only become one if they don't get enough exercise. Their energy level is over the roof and can only become destructive and loud if not properly worked.
IamAnderson: not at all, I was spending more when Roscoe was a puppy he used to eat 4 times a day. now he's an adult I spend at at least 12k on his indomie,chicken,fish, bones and eggs monthly
I thought ur dog didn't do well on indomie..wat changed?
my advice is that u should find a good friend not too far away that u could give the dog to just for a while. U would agree to pay for feeding and vet care in the condition that you would get her back when ur wife conceives.
vincentjk: As I prepare Augusto's dinner i also prepare mine as well.
the main reason why i prefer mixing, cooking and preparing my boys meal often instead of serving kibbles and canned foods then go my way is because I actually like cooking, it's my hubby
They dine well, I do as well. Can't come and kill myself
space9880: my brother till now I still don't know cause of death it happened quickly she lost appetite on Thursday I thought it was one of those female mood swings although she was not showing any sign of weakness on Friday she starting vomiting clear colorless liquid like spittle which is common when a dog ingests something foreign plus she does that too when she needs deworming so I concluded it's a matter of deworming or she ate something that is irritating her so I resolved to take her to the vet the next day but Friday night it was so bad at about 11PM she was lethargic and had difficulty in breathing and there was nothing I could do as it was very late, I was with her trying to comfort her and stuffs like that by 12AM she started groaning (for about 2 mins ) and there was a bloody discharge from her anal canal and what followed immediately after the discharge was death . till now I really can't say what killed her I'm sure it has to do with something she ate which is baffling as I chain her most times and only release her under my watch or when we go for one of our regular walks or jogs.
MrrKay: Chicken broth, as no dog will say no to chicken broth. To my greatest suprise, Xena suprised me, she turned down on derica of kibbles mixed with chicken broth. I was like "na shakara bdis, u go chop when u hungry" buh my girl left it to spoil. I still tried it 2nd and 3rd time, same thing applies. Menh i wasted 3derica of diamond kibbles.
Then i served my girl chicken broth separately, she smashed it.
I served her with diamond kibbles mixed with dry meat, she did justice to it.
Then i comfirmed that xena don't like her kibbles wet.
So far, xena is just on dog food, the first time i tried introducing rice, she rejected it. Pls if there is any special way of preparing any palatble meal for dogs, i am keen to learn.
Then on the part of fruit. I am yet to identify the fruit she loves, tho i never started it early, the first and only time, i introduce carrot, she just piecesed and played with, same as apple. I am open to adopt any measure to meet up to any standard.
Note that i still give her boiled egg,
Restrain from cooking the chicken head and neck. It could be d cause of her reduced appetite. U can either serve it raw or Cook it then debone.
It is small unnoticeable things like dis that can cause reduction in appetite.
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
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
