PetsAll- About- The -south African- Boerboel by Funmiladey(op): 11:04pm On May 22, 2015
used to help to track game animals, and restrain larger, wounded prey animals while awaiting their handlers.



The history of the breed


The word “Boerboel” means “farmer’s dog” and the Boerboel breed is the only dog breed that was specifically created and bred within South Africa to assist farmers with livestock guarding and farm work. While the Boerboel dog has been a fixture within South Africa for centuries, there is still some dispute as to what original breeds were significant within the creation of the Boerboel dog itself. The chances are that the breed can trace its origins back to the cross-breeding of dogs imported by English, French and Dutch settlers, and native African dogs from the region.



Modern-day Boerboel dogs


With the growth of diamond mining in Africa during the 1920’s, the DeBeers diamond mining company imported large Mastiff dogs into South Africa and crossed them with the existing Boerboel dog breed as it stood at the time, in order to produce large, heavy dogs to guard the mines.



The Boerboel Breeders Association was established in 1983, with the intention of raising the profile of the breed both within South Africa and abroad, and promoting the Boerboel as a distinctive South African dog breed. Boerboel dogs remain popular within South Africa both as pets and as working dogs, and are exported internationally too.



The Boerboel is first and foremost a guarding dog, and they are renowned for their courage, tenacity and loyalty to their owners. However, these same traits mean that they can easily be trained to become fighting dogs, which has led to them being banned within Denmark.



Appearance


The Boerboel is a large dog with heavy musculature but a proportional appearance. They can weigh up to 80kg, and stand up to 70cm tall on average at the shoulder. The males of the breed are generally noticeably larger and heavier than the females.



They have a single-layered coat that is short and dense, and usually has a smooth, shiny appearance. The Boerboel can be seen in many colour variants, including fawn with a black muzzle, red, brown, and brindle. A black muzzle or some black facial markings are common but not compulsory in the breed. 



Health


Due to its hybrid origins and regular outcrossings, the Boerboel dog breed benefits from the genetic diversity of hybrid vigour, and so is less prone to inherited genetic health problems than many other breeds that hail from small localised origins.



However, like most larger breeds of dog, the Boerboel does have slightly elevated risk factors for a range of health problems. Some of the more common issues include eye problems such as entropion or ectropion, and hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia too. Female dogs of the breed may be more prone to vaginal hyperplasia, and juveniles of the breed have elevated risk factors for epilepsy, which is usually triggered by stress or dietary and metabolic changes.



When kept in their traditional working roles to guard farms, people and livestock, the Boerboel also runs the risk of becoming injured or even killed by altercations with predators, something that is of course not likely to be an issue with Boerboel dogs kept as pets.



The average lifespan for the Boerboel is generally thought to be around ten years old.



Temperament


The Boerboel might fairly be described as a challenging dog to keep, and one that may not be suitable for the first-time dog owner to tackle alone. They are highly intelligent and very capable of learning a wide range of commands and skills, but can also soon pick up bad habits or inadvertently learn things that you don’t want them to!



They can be prone to laziness, but will soon spring into action if their home or family is threatened, and are extremely loyal to their families, and very protective of their home territory. They are generally said to be good with children within the family, but may be wary of strangers if not properly introduced.



Boerboel dogs require quite a lot of time and commitment to be spent on their training, entertainment and exercise, and will soon become destructive and act up if bored. They require firm boundaries and consistent positive reinforcement training from an experienced handler who will gain the respect of the dog and be able to lead the dog from an alpha role. Due to their wariness of strangers, the Boerboel should be kept on a lead when outside of safely enclosed property, and may not thrive in a densely populated urban environment.

PetsRe: Recommended Feed For Dogs To Gain Weight by Funmiladey(op): 10:32pm On May 22, 2015
The indomie am talking abt here is not the sachet one oo, its the one that looks like crumbs which I usually get from the pet store with some other ingredients too let me just tell you the proportion
Indomie--- 10kg
Toasted soya----1kg
GNC---- 1kg
Grounded fish---- 2kg (mix all together)
All I do is to add this toboiling water and stir well till it softens at times I add brandy(canned food) to it also and I serve when cool
Mckandre:
well, thats from ya own perspectives but what i said is based on my own personal experience.
i tried that alot earlier even got a carton of indomie and corn beef to mix, the only result i got was watery stool nothing more which got me worried.
i started looking for alternatives: i tried dogmor;nothing, went for diamond puppy seems the effect was slow and expensive so i ditched it ; bought a create of jojo puppy; nothing (dont be deceived by the red chunks,those are max colors to give it meaty appearance) just made my dog stool redish which is kinda odd.

Then i decided to try left overs;this aint ordinary left overs,the content was certifying it wasnt what i expected though: it contents were raw chicken necks,gizzard,rib cage,skin and few others. This aint mama pot you see fish bones and burnt egusi soup;its just like mr biggs dem,chicken carpitol,where they need the meaty parts for sharwamas.
Another thing is there's also an option for cooked leftovers like fried rice, chicken bones and the rest all mixed up together for just #100 per kilo i ditched it and went for the raw.

What do i gat to lose when it has quality and less expnsive so i went for it,all i did was just bring it out from the package, wash it if necessary then give it to my dog direct without hassle. Chikina !

Edo is not in any equation as far as Biafra goes, and who are the 'we' you speak of? Two minrotiy tribes in Delta? Which 'guys' sef? Where do you think I'm from? And do you assume I was alive during the war? Were you alive?

Bros, Delta state does not want to remain with Nigeria. I can say that with AUTHORITY, just like I can say that they don't want to be with Biafra totally. Delta would most likely SPLIT up....with the Anioma people going with Biafra and then the minorities trying to form a sovereign state outside of both nations.

I do not know what will become of Edo, and I sincerely care not. As far as I'm concerned, those guys are more South West than South South
Go down the history line , then you'll know that yoruba kingdom doesn't stop in Edo it extends to the ijaws too..

Nollywood's main distribution channels are also in Upper Iweka Onitsha and Ogbor Hill Aba. Alaba market is one of its distribution centers, to reach the wider Nigeria area.

It is simple, when we leave, we relocate our base to Enugu and still maintain our base in Alaba.

Yes, Nollywood is number 2 in terms of gross movie productions every year, ahead of hollywood at number 3, and third highest earning movie industry in the world, ahead of chinese and spanish movie industries - a feat achieved in less than 30 years. Thanks to Igbo boys.

Empty thrash. We are used to your usual 'doomsday' predictions. SSers are much awake now. They realize the seed of discord planted between them and their culturally similar SE brothers since 1970s as a mere attempt to take advantage of them.

What you should be thinking of now is ways to forge your upper nigeria half country forward when the lower niger secedes. With over 70% of Nigeria's current economy dependent on the oil of lower niger, upper nigeria will be plunged into wanton economic stress.

Lower Niger will be pulling out also with its nollywood. With nollywood and crude oil out of Nigeria - two heavy areas Nigeria is known worldwide positively for, I wonder what will be left of your so-called Nigeria.

Lower Niger has the human capital development and resources. Trust the Ibibios, Igbos and Ijaws in their creativity. The same way Nollywood was moved from a non-existent movie industry in the 80s, during its inception, to number 2 in the world is the same way FLN will skyrocket before your korokoro eyes in less than 20 years. You guys will be queuing up at our dear embassy in your nigeria begging for mere visitor's visa to escape your dungeon Nigeria as usual.

Not only oil, but our economy will be diversified to make it more viable. With smaller land mass, proper control of the country will be easier to manage and constant power electricity will become feasible. We will generate twice the electricity that we need, such that we will sell to neighbouring countries lavishing in constant power outage, including Nigeria. Business is business. International trade must be balanced.

Truth be told, Ijaws and Ibibios share very similar cultures with Igbos than any other groups in Nigeria, In fact, the major difference between these groups in the lower niger is language. When it comes to culture, Igbos and Ibibios share over 90% culture, traits, behaviour, etc. Lower Niger is a homogenous region and should be allowed to be alone as such.

With a country of ours, all unnecessary I-no-be-Ibo coming from certain Igbo-communities will stop given that they are no longer under the pressure of Nigeria to deny their Igboness to gain favour and acceptance from other Nigerians.

The talents of SE have been suppressed for too long. Allow us just 20 years, and you won't smell our back how much more seeing it.
And you wanna tell me nollywood can survive without Lagos? See you.... Do you know who potential customers are? I bet you a serious minded man will never leave lagos to help develop where there will be less patronage of his goods... And who told you nollywood is 2nd in world? Where did you keep hollywood and bollywood?
