Lols the truth of the matter is the temperament. That's really why I'm generalising but physically he looks good, I mean fast and sharp

how's his temperament?

Sofia01:
I am Anderson , can we get updates please :-

I'll be posting soon

vincentjk:
I meant large bones and all that, you know nao

Gustaf is a fine boy ooh, I don't know why you're complaining

Jackonsy:
I was told that age is one factor that affects number of pups to be littered by an expert that's a reason that need verification from my fellow pet landers

it's true, the more mature a dog is, the lower the egg and sperm production will be.
male dogs can breed till death but most times you should stop by 8yrs, while females should be stopped around 5 yrs.
the prime childbearing age of a female dog is around 2yrs-4/5 yrs

Carmit:
I'll go with me the rabies theory then..
But does rabies twist a dogs head?
Thanks BTW

yes that's one of the major symptoms of rabies,most of these cases you hear of dogs attacking their owners or killing children turn out to be rabies cases at the end.

vincentjk:
Yup but augusto isn't yet used to the raw guava and carrot, maybe next time I'll parboil the fruits before adding to his meal but i guess he'll get used to it with time

What do you think about the pictures of him I posted up there?

he looks really good

vincentjk:
So I rushed to the kitchen to make Augusto something asap, as usually I made a cool recipe for him. These are;

Sliced pork meat
Nutribyte kibbles
Rice (filler)
Sliced carrot
A little sliced guava
An uncooked egg
Pork broth
Frozen egusi soup.

Served him this food at 11am so i neither call it breakfast nor lunch. I served him brunch

I like the way you feed your dogs
the combinations are really nice and healthy.

vincentjk:
I think I've witnessed such case with my aunt's dogs (Murphy's late mum and her brother). This is a serious thing but I don't think that'll be the case here

They've been separated for a month so will they still know that they're siblings?

I'm not really sure....you can go ahead and buy the pup sha, it's not a definite occurrence it's just a probability

Carmit:
Like they tend to go nuts after a few years.

I doubt, most of those cases you hear are either rumours or rabies cases.
a lot of Dobermans have lived till maturity without going through that phase, don't consider all those things if you want to buy one, if your dog is healthy and well trained then you're good.

Carmit:
I hear Doberman's are prone to mental issues... Is this true?

what do you mean by mental issues? do you mean diseases or just an ill state of mind?

vincentjk:
Thanks brother, I saw what you sent on WhatsApp, will check it out later when I'm relaxed

oh okay no problem

vincentjk:
You mean if breeding should be done between the both of them? Make me understand bro

I've heard about that thing before and I've seen it happen in some cases.
it's not just about the breeding, sometimes dogs from the same litter tend to become codependent and they won't have much individuality.
I saw a case like that on social media once that the dogs were guard dogs and they were good at their job if they were released separately but if they are released together they become useless, they just play and cuddle each other and ignore every other thing.
I've also seen a case were the dogs have been eating in the same plate together since birth and when one died, the remaining one was still leaving his bowl half full for his sibling that was deceased, now the living dog cannot finish a plate of food on it's own, it always acts like it's sharing the meal.
sometimes the dogs are only confident when they are together, if separated you'll see how weak minded they'll become but together they rely on each other and become more confident and assertive.
it doesn't always happen but it happens in some cases, it's like when they are together from the same litter for too long they don't develop mentally like dogs that had to learn how to cohabit with strange dogs.

Sorry y'all but I saw some arguments on whether Caucasians are not guard dogs and are Teddy bears.Who would say such..
In the Ranking of Top 10 Most dangerous dogs Caucasian is No1 Caucasian are very territorial And exhibit ferocious aggressive character if not properly controlled.They are Mini bears with an Amazing strength.Some of u know spark my Caucasian.im just imagining how strong he would be when he is an adult.Cos yesterday he broke his Iron chain and he's just 5months.i don't know how because I just came back and I say his chain in half...An iron one for dat matter.

Secondly Top 10 biggest guard dogs Caucasian still retains the position as Number 1..Cos tell me is Caucasian just a teddy or a Guardian..

IamAnderson ur training tips is working ooo.I did test run yesterday evening.

nice to see the boy is responding to the training
just remember to retain dominance over him and make sure he's properly socialised with everybody in the family because if he grows up and notices you are not a strong enough leader...he might start misbehaving.
when he's an adult and he starts marking territory and testing the people of the family to see who he's above, you'll notice his aggression is going to increase and if you don't have a strong hand over him he might be a problem, they tend to be stubborn and reckless sometimes.

space9880:
my dog ate his poop too when he recovered from Parvo infact he has suffered after surviving parvo his right hand leg was swollen the leg was even bigger than his body he could not even stand the pus from the leg will be almost 2 litres it even spread to his abdomen but thank God he is still alive.

that could be the cause of the pica syndrome, he's been through a lot of stress

vincentjk:
Lols December sounds far because it's Christmas season but it's actually next month. I'm planning on buying augusto's direct sister too (the one i placed for sale last week). She's a brindle cute babe

What do you think?

ooh that pup was also nice too
I think that's a good idea

vincentjk:
Nice comment you made up there. Gustaf is doing fine, making a video isn't really a problem rather uploading it here is

One has to upload it on YouTube then before moving it here which is a stressful thing to do. Oga Seun we know that you're doing your best in fixing this site but please put more effort for the betterment of everybody.

bro i hope you were kidding when you said you wouldn't update us on Augusto till December
I'm already missing him

Endy10:
First Aggression in a dog is a bad thing. Don't know why people think a dog being aggressive means it has good traits.

A dog can be a good guard dog or watch dog without being an aggressive dog. Now that's how you know a well bred dog.

Even a chihuahua can be aggressive. It doesn't have anything to do with the dog size.

OP, I love Gustaf. I'm a sucker for Gsds. Hope you're giving him the necessary training. Would be nice if you posted some videos of him performing some basic commands

but aggression doesn't mean the dog has to be reckless
a dog cannot be a guard dog without being aggressive, no matter how well trained a dog is, to defend it's territory or owner it'll have to show violence or willingness to be violent which automatically makes it an aggressive dog.
I don't know why when people hear "aggressive" they think it means mindless violence, even the malinois that the us government used to thwart the plans of the terrorist few days ago had to chase and tackle the criminal, that is also a sign of aggression does it mean the dog isn't well trained?...no
any dog that barks,growls or charges at targets whether human or animal or inanimate object is an aggressive dog, it doesn't have anything to do with training or skill, as far as the dog is showing violence or willingness to be violent, it's an aggressive dog.
and a good guard dog has to be ready to switch to violence when necessary which means a dog cannot be a guard dog without being aggressive, aggression isn't a bad term to use to describe a dog, a dog can be aggressive and still be a balanced dog.
i think what you should have said is, "every guard dog is an aggressive dog but not every aggressive dog is a good guard dog"

Eveezy:
As much as it is true that Caucasian dogs were bred to be guardians, also realize that every breed of dog has pet quality, and more and more of them are being imported daily, The fact that a Caucasian isn’t aggressive does not only mean that it is impure or still a puppy.

Some breeders desire looks(pet quality dogs) that will nt give stress in mating and during walks. So not all caucasians are good guard dogs

this is also true but some breeds are generally known as aggressive, there are rotts and Pitts that are pet dogs without signs of aggression but that doesn't mean you should describe the breeds as docile.
it's part of the breed standard of the Caucasian shepherd to be aggressive, lack of aggression is seen as a fault.
some dogs are not aggressive naturally irrespective of the breed but that doesn't mean the breed should be defined with them, if you want to make statements about a breed you should look at it from a wider view.
not every individual dog is a good guard dog but there are breeds that are natural guard dogs in general.
also I was emphasizing on the age of the pup because I've seen this happen too many times, people complain that the dog is docile when it's young but when the dog gets mature the true nature of the dog shows.
most cases like this change completely when the dog matures, people are just too impatient most of the time forgetting that not all dogs develop the same time

agboedeh:
so sorry bro......wat breed?

gsd

vincentjk:
I'd like to see the videos pls

if you have my number you can hmu on WhatsApp I'll send some to you

agboedeh:
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

my previous dog had this same problem, he ate his own poop,vomit, grass,sand,stones e.t.c
he also died some months later

liveLongNprospa:
He's good.. He's 4yrs plus now

pictures?

vincentjk:
You're wrong in saying this brother, caucasian uptill date are used to guard prisons in Russia and other farm and properties as well


Some pedigree dogs may differ in temperament and in other qualities as well depending on how the dog was bred. I fear caucasian more than any breed in Nigeria as a whole because their aggression sometimes can be uncontrollable





He's generalizing based on his own experience which isn't a good thing, maybe his own is that way doesn't mean all Caucasians are same

very true bro
the annoying thing is that the pedigree Caucasian that he's talking about and calling teddy bear is a 4-5 month old female pup.

and he's now saying, "have experience with the breed" like he has had the experience before lol

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 ,


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMgFoNuheWE

lmao ain't no wolf killer? olden days?
if you're ready I'll show you very recent videos of them killing wolves and tackling and apprehending multiple intruders.
and I actually have an adult Caucasian and I've also met many people who have adult Caucasians both online and in real life and they all have the same default setting so i don't know where you're getting your information from.
the same website you brought up this video of a domesticated Caucasian I can also pull up several videos of domesticated pet pitbulls,rottweilers and dobbermans does it mean these breeds are also teddy bears?
If you tell me you haven't seen videos of Caucasians working as guard dogs before I can show you several, including the ones I made myself at home with my dog.
in fact, forget videos, you can ask other people that own adult Caucasians whether they are teddy bears let's see.
stop spreading false information and narratives you don't have any idea about, before you make any claim online make sure you are capable of backing it up pls

fowlyansh181:
i have a pedigree Caucasian, seven of mine friends have a pedigree Caucasian, few of my work colleagues have pedigree caucasians, caucasians are just large teddy bears.. mind you I also own other dogs /breed, they instinctively keep at alert and are very active guard dogs ...

Age isn’t really a matter here any dog that will be a good guard dog starts showing signs from puppy hood, all my other dogs did and still do..

first of all, you didn't answer the question
secondly, Caucasians are not teddy bears, they are one of the most aggressive dog breeds and they are also good guard dogs.
you can ask around and even check online, their are thousands of Caucasians that guard farms and households diligently.
the breed was made to guard and that's what they have been doing, do you think when they are called wolf killers it's just a fun nickname?

I've seen several stories like this, of people that because they see the impressive size of a Caucasian puppy they start expecting too much from the puppy ignoring the fact that it's a freaking puppy. when the puppy matures then they start complaining that their dogs are too reckless and stubborn and start asking for training tips. you can check here on NL all the "how do I make my dog aggressive" threads featuring Caucasian shepherd puppies, you'll see whether the situation changed with time or not. you can also check Facebook if you're not satisfied, you'll see the same thing.
if you describe a Caucasian shepherd as a playful teddy bear then you don't know anything about the breed at all.

if you're still not satisfied you can give me your phone number I'll send dozens of videos of Caucasians in action guarding their territories and tackling intruders

vincentjk:
Why the "nah"? What did i say that you didn't agree with

he's saying Caucasian shepherds aren't good guard dogs

fowlyansh181:
i have a pedigree Caucasian..

and? let me guess, your dog is not aggressive so the breed automatically isn't a good guard breed to you
how old is your dog to begin with?

fowlyansh181:
rotts , yes, caucasians? Nah.

what makes you say that? do you think Caucasians are pet dogs?

the silly thing is that someone bought a Samoyed for security and is complaining when the dog isn't attacking strangers.
let her buy a goat to guard her house next time and come to post it online again

vincentjk:
You invest real time on that dude no wonder he looks that fresh

Never seen a Caucasian with such coat before

lmao he's basically my son
I raised him since he was still tripping over his feet so i had to carry him sometimes when he was a 4 week old pup alone without littermates till he grew up to an adult dog, I also thought him every thing he knows so I'm really attached

and the grooming is done by me so I appreciate the compliments

[quote author=space9880 post=83601626][/quote]do you give him multivitamin? locking him inside won't stop the pica syndrome and it can be dangerous for him
