Lovely dog you have there boss... what do you feed??
I appreciate the comment sir.
She's such a picky eater so I had to be creative with her feeding most times.
Anyway I feed Booster dry food, beef liver, eggs, pap & milk, fish, chicken, sardines, and then bone broth (for treat).
Rice sometimes mixed with liver, but she isn't a fan of rice like that just yet.

Thank you very much sir, I am doing my best. Her next vaccination will be on Saturday, God willing. I have so adult dogs that aren't aggressive but only barks for alertness. Is it possible she becomes aggressive since the rest dogs aren'thuh
Well...that female you've got right there is from a good lineage hope you know, so expect all the qualities of a Gsd. Therefore proper training and socialization is advised.

By the way, you're welcome man
PetsRe: Meet Arya, My Northern Girl I Call Her by Doncolidon(op): 1:12pm On Apr 14, 2022
It seems Arya's familiarizing days are over so I relocated her to the backyard. She doesn't seem to like that very much, she likes chilling out at the frontage with me. We'll soon get back to town anyway, I know she can't wait to be in her crib.

Dorwadora:
Thank you so much sir... I'll try to be more patient with her. Tho already I made a crib for her.... A duvet and a pillow, she love the pillow alot and I make sure to disinfect the veranda every weekend because she's very picky about where she stay.... I've learnt alot now sir.... Thanks so much.

I'll also like to ask, I've was told to beat her anytime she urinate or poo inside.... Is it a good idea at all.
You're welcome my dear, glad I could help.
I know you'd be tempted to spank her anytime she pees or poos inside, I've been there, but trust me that's not the best way to get her to act right, heed not to such idea/suggestion. Besides she's still very much younger a puppy you know, c'mon now...

Anytime she mistakenly pees or poos inside just loudly and sternly say NO! (Not necessarily shouting per se)
Then carry her outside to where you intended her to do it instead. However believe me, if you pay close attention to her you'd know once she's pressed and wants to relieve herself. And also if you'd keep to the schedule regarding her potty break like I suggested to you earlier, you'll not have such accidents (although not completely eliminated b'cos she's still very much younger).
My girl whines or sniffs around restlessly anytime she's pressed and she can't go outside to do it. She even barks out at me if I'm not paying attention, however she's much older than yours. Even though mine is older than your pup accidents do happen still (pee anyway, but never poo). Reason I asked you to give yours some time, she's doing great already.
Keep it up, e no easy with puppies honestly. They're like whinny little babies.. Lol

On the contrary, I have time to invest in my pests... I'm a student. I just gats this love for cats, it's natural. The way they ignore me elegantly always make me laugh. There sleek body and their whining meows grin grin grin....

I was once called a witch by Ikillbrokebitch because I said I own a black cat grin grin grin grin.

But dogs, I'm new to them, I don't know anything about them and they are not as intelligent as cats. My dog Daisy is still not answering her name tho she reacts to noise and signs.

I've been advised not to own a cat after the previous one were poisoned to avoid people's superstitious opinion. I would have just gotten another set after my mourning month angry angry angry. And yes I always follow her in after opening the door then pick her up to help her urinate in her sand bowl... I'm not giving her out .... She's a cute soul.
C'mon give that lil pup a break! She's still very much young you know, just a month, that's like a 5 month old human baby. What do you expect from a 5 month old human baby if I may ask? Would she answer to her name or even hear you call?

Cats on the other hand are quite something else with taking care of themselves. You see how they clean up themselves and all that? They're intriguing.
However, dogs are very smart, you remember that. And if you've owned breeds like Gsd, doberman etc you'd marvel at the level of intelligence. Just give your dog time. For her to even hold her urine & poo instinctively for that long at her age is a huge plus; pretty well behaved that one, watch out for her.

Begin her potty training, she's already made it even easier for you. If you've been paying keen attention you must've timed how long she could hold on to the urine, get a dog collar and leash, once it's time put her on leash and take her to where you want her to be doing her business. Stay there with her as you guys walk around, she'd be sniffing the place, give her some time. Once she can't hold it any longer she'd grab the clue what is required of her and she'd do her business there.
And again, the reason she's jumping inside your room to pee and poo is b'cos the veranda is already her crib, and dogs don't poo or pee where they sleep except they had no choice; Yes! They're that smart if you don't know. So she sees your room as going outside... You grab? So you have to find a way to change that. It's either you let her sleep with you inside then take her out at the veranda from time to time for potty break, or you divide that veranda into two (if it's spacious anyway)..
Arrange one part to be her room (you can put blankets, wrapper or something to lie on), and then leave the other part of the veranda as a place of business (potty place).
Come back here and inform me how it went.
And remember to take her for potty break within 10 - 15mins after each meal. Then in the night during sleep, work out the time intervals according to your observation like I pointed out earlier.

By the way your dog is cute. Keep tendering that care and love and you'd have yourself a great pup once you've been able to establish that bond. Dogs are little fascinating gods among us smiley

Thank you, I will sure update with pictures. I started to confined her in a cage from today I only want her to be familiar with my immediate family. I hope I am on track? I noticed Ivy is a picky eater
I'd suggest you familiarize her well enough this early or she'd be weary of people when she grows up. Imagine you walking your dog and you wanna show her off to friends and she panics and starts barking or becomes aggressive. It's good she gets to know your immediate family but If she grows up with that believe me she'd be aggressive towards people, be it strangers or friends; Not act of guarding but out of fear. You wouldn't want that kind of messy or embarrassing situation.
I take Arya for a walk sometimes, having completed her vaccination dose, and once she sees certain gathering of people she'd panic and stops walking, and I'll be urging her to c'mon and walk with me. And once she sees little children coming close to admire her she'd bark at them and would wanna bouce on them in attack. But I know with frequent walking and socializing she'd learn to guard properly as she grows, she'd be able to differentiate between harmless admirers and strangers.

Arya is a very picky eater too. The booster for all life stages that I bought for her for 30k she doesn't even eat that very much. But I've learnt to be creative with feeding her anyway. So she eats the booster these days unlike before.

In addition, kindly note that Gsd isn't a kind of dog you can just confine in a cage frequently for a long while otherwise they'll become bored and destructive. They'll just waste away. They're energetic type of breed, not a lazy type like boerboel. So they'd need to burn out all that energy.
Good luck bruv

Yes, I call mine Ivy. She's so troublesome and a handful lol. I am following your girl's diary make we copy small �
Good to know man cool I appreciate.
Would love to see Ivy's pictures too as she progresses, if you don't mind tho.

Suggestion, Just make sure to exercise Ivy so well in order to burn off all that energy, she'd be tired out and she'd get off your skin for a while. grin
But moderation tho, she's still a kid you know wink
PetsRe: Meet Arya, My Northern Girl I Call Her by Doncolidon(op): 7:49pm On Apr 09, 2022
Arya is becoming very much aware of her environment. The GSD baser instincts are kicking in fully now.
I recall some people were telling me some time ago that the way I have her familiarizing with people will in turn make her not to be good guard dog as she'll now be friendly with everyone, that I supposed to lock her up in a cage away from people to make her aggressive and better guard dog; and I laughed cheesy
It's either they don't know the breed Gsd, or they underestimated my girl grin... Told them the only reason I'm familiarizing her this early is for their sake.
Well, some of those people came around these past few days and Arya showed them a little of the stuff she's made of. And one of them cried.. "Aaah! I thought she was all peaceful before o".
"Dey there dey mis-yarn na, make she kuku bite craze comot for your body", I whispered to myself, lol!
Anytime there's a knock on the gate she responds, and if we don't wanna answer that knock, nobody go tell you make you kukuma carry yourself comot.

GSD will always be Gsd folks, it's in their nature (once you get unadulterated bloodline sha).
People dey fear her now wey she small, what would then happen when she come big?

Arya received her 3rd shot of vaccine over the weekend. She has completed her dosage of vaccine normally, however she'll receive a Booster shot @5 months. She had her bath finally afterwards, how she likes water ehn grin
So I filled the basin with water (not to the brim anyway so she doesn't drown) and I carried her inside... She was just wriggling pleasurably and playing "dead" in there.. Lol

Of course I bathed her for the first time, all the while I've just been cleaning her up with towel soaked in warm water. Rubbed the coconut oil that I made myself all over her, and combed through, you need to see how her coat was shining afterwards eeh wink... (Although shea butter was the first thing I used to bring out the beauty of her coat before I made the coconut oil cool)

In the images attached she was just chilling while nibbling at the delicious bone marrow I used in preparing bone broth for her.

You should really enjoy while it lasts, cos booodline doesn’t lie, and she comes from a good lineage, so expect an excellent dog. And Gsd’s are natural noise makers
I know right grin
Thanks for the compliment tho

Due to certain technical error I wasn't able to access Nairaland for some days and so couldn't update the thread. I don't know whether there's any other person that experienced this same issue as well.

So Arya barked for the first time in my presence few days ago oh..omo! Almost got me startled. Didn't expect her to have that kind of bold & loud voice, at least for her age. Someone told me that Arya is one of a kind kind of dog... That there's nothing soothing like having a pup that barks only when necessary, instead of those incessant, noisy, annoying and unnecessary barking. That I should enjoy it while it lasts.
Well let's see how she turns out when she's older cool
Doncolidon:
All thanks to @Rany4all for this sweet girl. Finally welcomed her home 2 days ago.
She's so meek and peaceful too much for my liking oh grin You may even mistake her for a cat. She's 3 months and hasn't even started barking yet.

But you missed the point man, both of you are of two different submissions. Posting the price helps, so that anyone coming your inbox will be to finalize the deal straight up rather than chatting you up just to ask about the price... filters the whole thing out for you, easy peasy.
However, you're entitled to your opinion or what you think works for you.

I don't have to post the price before my potential customer buys it, my customers knows the quality of dog it is. They won't hesitate to call if they need it. I don't plead for customers.. they come willingly

Yea, clearly the guy goofed by such conclusion..
Rany4all:
It's nothing like that bruv, just a friendly suggestion. I mean like, if he's making such a statement, even after I've posted pictures of the pups' parents, like it's a matter of fact, then it's either he must have bred the pups himself or he's an expert in this field, right?

The 1st person that said something similar said they "look like," which is quite understandable, but this young man is saying "this is" as if na him breed the pups by himself.
...And also coming from someone who's just owning a dog for the first time makes it quite laughable.
PetsRe: 3 Months Old German Shepherd Puppies - Price 50k, FREE Delivery Nationwide by Doncolidon: 9:07pm On Mar 03, 2022

Rany4all:
Do you know there's a very easy way to convince us that you actually know what you are talking about? Why not just share pictures of all those German Shepherd pups and German Shepherd/Rott mix pups that you bred yourself in the past?

Do that, instead of asking us to rate your pup for you or whether you can use tetmosol soap to bathe your pup, and maybe, just maybe we might start considering whatever you say here as an expert opinion.
