This exercise isn't even enough for a regular dog talk more of a gsd

I walk Roscoe at least 4 days a week for an hour.
apart from that, he's free 24/7 to play,run and hump everyone(which he does daily)
do you think that's enough exercise?
that's all I can offer lol

last time I walked him for 30mins was when he was an adolescent, since adulthood his walks are always an hour long except we're just strolling

it's definitely a gsd/cauc mix
it's a cute pup
p.s I said it's a gsd cauc mix because the mask,snout, ears and coat do not look German Shepherd at all.
those parts rep the Caucasian breed more, ask for the pics of the parents you'll see at least one of them has Caucasian in it.

I thought ur dog didn't do well on indomie..wat changed?

yeah I was reluctant to try it again because when he was younger it used to give him bad stools, I even fed him indomie for weeks and the stooling didn't become better so I dumped it.
I bought a little bag of it and tried it again about a month ago and it was okay with him, since then that's what he has been eating (along with rice).

im getting d pit for 35k

is its someone you know? they are usually more expensive than that

vincentjk:
Just augusto lol... Is it too much?

I'm bothered because he no longer eats lunch, there's nobody home to serve him so he only gets breakfast and dinner when I'm back from work

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

vincentjk:
You've written well, I personally prefer letting my dogs loose anytime am home

As in looking at them locked up inside that cage doesn't make me feel good at all unless we've a visitor

exactly, Roscoe is always free except we have a visitor.

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.....

lmao I can recognise their barks once I hear it
they are good for work,athletic and also military work but if you keep them bored for too long they become a nuisance.
they are good dogs sha, just that my lifestyle isn't compatible with them

vincentjk:
Ok fine;

A bag of 8kg nutribyte dry food- N10k
4 tins of dallas canned food @320 each- N1280
A broiler (the one i blended) N2k
Pork spines- N1k
General meat, bone and marrows, cartilage and all that- N2k
A small bucket of thick liquid milk- N1k
Soya cakes, eggs, and them fruits I add to his meal- 2k

Total=N19,280

I didn't add his deworm, plate, medication, vitamins and local supplements, chemicals used in fumugation and cleaning up his cage and the environment to prevent ticks and flees

If i should add all these it would be double of that amount up there, I don't calculate the cost feeding and upkeep because it could lead one to depression or heart attack lmao (imagine what i spent on Gustaf yet didn't archive what i wanted in him )

What do you think of the cost of feeding and everything I've written?

this is really nice, is this for both of then or just Augusto?

Spanishmilf:
d boerboel doesn't like pic but i will try and snap....
This is d parent of d pitbull

it's not by appearance
check if they have guard instincts, you can bring the two of them home and they'll be smiling like that when someone jumps over your fence.
they are beautiful tho, just make sure they have guard instincts

Spanishmilf:
wow we learn everyday... But i hate gsd..
From their barking shit and jumping jumping on someone

you can try a different breed then
I also don't particularly like gsds, don't get me wrong I love all breeds and I have a soft spot for all of them but gsds bark too much and they are too clingy, most of the time they are pushovers too, I like dogs with strong will

Spanishmilf:
Wow u try........ I spend 10k on my dog monthly..
Advice me bro am going for a good security dog should i buy pitbull or gsd
I have a 6mnth boerboel

you know Pitts aren't guard dogs right?
they were bred not to have human aggression
you can make the wrong choice and the dog will be more interested in fighting your boerbel than guarding your house.
if you want a guard dog, go for a dog that has good guard instincts naturally.
with the pitbull it's a game of chance because the breed is not human aggressive but some have guard instincts, you have to actually select a pup from a good pair

Terrorboy:
Hi, I noticed, Roscoe's cage is close to the frontal fence, does he bark or get scared when people are passing by on the outside, I heard once, if you want your dog to be aggressive to strangers you have to put his cage at the back of the cage so he doesn't get used to the noise and feel free when strangers are around

personally I feel a good guard dog will bark at strangers no matter how frequently he hears noises.
he can differentiate between random outside noise and noise coming from people at the gate.
people can discuss and even play and pass the road in front of my gate but he won't bark except they make an unusual noise, once someone actually comes to the gate and stops there, even before they knock, he'll bark at them and run there.
even if he's inside the house, he can tell when a stranger is in the compound.
I've heard about the whole backyard cage thing but I don't believe it makes a guard dog, in fact dogs that were brought up like that usually bark at any small noise and movement when they are free which I feel isn't a pleasant thing
at least since he's used to random background noises I'm sure if he's barking then it's something I have to come and check out.
although when he was younger he used to bark anyhow, with time he started differentiating noises. now he knows the sound of our car horn and engine , before you reach the gate with the car he's already there waiting unlike if it's a random car, that one he'll just ignore it.
he knows the sounds to ignore and the ones that should concern him, the whole backyard thing just makes your dog nervous and anxious to sounds, if you want your dog not to be scared of strange sounds then desensitization is the best way to tackle it not locking them away from it.
if your dog is a guard dog, whether you lock it up at the backyard, front or inside your house he'll bark at an intruder when he spots one.

vincentjk:
Don't you like boerboel

I love boerbels too, Augusto is a beauty when they are well fed and muscular they look really great

Hello nairalanders,
I was unusually busy for a week and only feed my dog at night. I assigned someone who feeds her in the morning.
She appears normal whenever I come back home, until Friday night when I found her lame in her cage. A neighbour vet checked her and said I should get glucose as many as I can, assured me that she'd survive till the next day when I'd take her to UI vet.
She did survive and the vet said her pcv is low and may be suffering from Tick fever. Mind you I use Amitraz and Fipro spray on her, that's that. I was told to give her ugwu fluid and milk to replenish her blood cells and that's where my problem is.
She vomited almost everything except O.R.S water, now she's vomiting the water sef, what can I do to safe this dog.
PS: she was given little IV fluid yesterday as the doc can't risk giving much due to her low blood.

take her to a vet for testing ASAP

Toju200:
Sparks guard instincts is beginning to kick in gradually.

Spanishmilf:

Spanishmilf:
I won't advise u to get a cane corso

why?

MrrKay:
IamAnderson

That feelings when you hear Cane Corso, and full breed long coat slant back Gsd.

I really love cane corso's
they're one of my favorite dog breeds, they just look regal and beautiful

Spanishmilf:
what breed is on your mind if u want to add to your pack

I'm not sure yet but I have my eyes on cane corso, Rottweiler or maybe I'll just keep another Caucasian

Spanishmilf:
Don't you think roscoe need another companion....

I've thought about that sha, I don't think I have the time to take care of 2 dogs right now, maybe later on I'll add a sibling for him

lmao I'll try ooh

Leetvilla:
For a student that’s always indoor and your surrounding ain’t cemented, pure sand how do you do that?

Guess you don’t take your dog out for walks or play and get to know your environment?

I understand what you're going through but not letting your dog play in dirt won't kill them.
you can only let them out when the ground is dry and it's fine, they can play inside the house like they were bred to, toy dogs are inside dogs not outside dogs.
even if you use whitening shampoo on them it still won't bleach away the sand right?
just keep them indoors except outside is dry and they'll be fine

Leetvilla:
Please I asked a simple question *HOW TO WHITEN/BLEACH WHITE BREED DOGS* if you don’t know about it I’m not expecting your response please someone made mention of it on a post few days back that he use JIK to whiten his dog, even foreigners have whitening/bleaching shampoo that’s been sold on Amazon please don’t talk about what you don’t know

I ordered some but not getting the result I need and the best delivery fee is way to high so I need something I can get within Nigeria *Only for those who knows about it* THANKS.

never use jik on your dog ever.
do you think people use household bleach to whiten dogs? you'll hurt your dog.
just stick to the whitening shampoo

Leetvilla:
Yes they are whitening shampoos and I’ve got about three from amazon, between this isn’t my first time I’m owning a white dog I’ve got a Lhasa also for almost a year and is very white and clean, got another white breed dog that’s got too much of energy and loves playing outside especially on dirt and I’m sure you don’t advice to bath dogs everyday.

yes you shouldn't bathe them everyday that's true so try keeping the dog away from dirt

forreelliinc:
Dude your dog is not a pure breed. On a more serious note I've had a boerboel before the exact same colour and it was way bigger than yours and it wasn't even up to 1 year old, its genetics got messed up along the way prolly some broke fvck crossed his local dog with a boerboel cause the head and the size doesn't just add up

what's wrong with the dog's head size?
how large do you want the head to be relative to body size?

and do you think all Boerbels grow like the one in the pic you posted?. do you know that their are different types of Boerbels?, not every Boerbel is flat faced and wide chested.
if we ask you to point out any physical signs of another breed in it's body can you point anything out?
did you even read what I said about bloodlines?

lemme show you another example of bloodlines in breeding.
this is Osaka a pedigree Caucasian shepherd at 5yrs, does he look like the ones you see online? does it mean he's not pure bred?. Osaka's lineage all look like this because they share the same bloodline, it's in their nature not to grow very large or hairy like the ones we see online but they are still purebred. if Osaka was in Nigeria people will jump up to say he's not pure because he isn't a mountain Caucasian with giant hairy paws even before checking his pedigree.

the second pic is vastelin at 3yrs, he's also a pedigree Caucasian but he looks more like the one's people call purebred because of his features. the two dogs are pedigree with totally different looks and sizes. the thing is that most people when they import Caucasians they import the one's that look like vastelin because they are more attractive but that doesn't make every other type trash or impure. before you shout that a dog is impure don't use size or head size to judge.

Leetvilla:
Hi guys I would love to know how y’all take care of your white dogs that won’t stop going to play on sands which is now making the dogs color to change .

How do you bleach or whiten it back please?

you bathe them and keep them clean.
do you really think people bleach or polish their dogs?.

Jackonsy:
I just want to make him realize that his attitude on social media should be concise not been jocose on tantamount issues

the dude isn't a breeder nor an expert.
he just trolls every page and you're begging him for advice and giving him attention.
ignore the account whenever you come across it.
he doesn't even know what a boerbel is and you're asking him for advice?, he doesn't even have a dog to start with he screenshots other peoples dogs and lies that they belong to him

vincentjk:
Yea I saw and commented on it that day but I meant to ask if it contains cartilage or just bone marrows just like that of pork?

oh yes it does, he eats every single part of it, it's soft and filled with marrow

vincentjk:
I actually got these ones for N350 and yea it's nice. But not made of cartilage at all just bone marrows ( soft and nice)

I haven't fed goat spines before tho, how does it look like?

I uploaded a pic of it on my thread

Jackonsy:
That's the facial look

your dog looks purebred to me
one thing you need to know is that because a dog doesn't look like the best representation of it's breed doesn't mean it's not purebred.
bloodlines also have a thing to add, if your dog isn't from a very good bloodline then it won't grow like the others from better bloodlines whether it's purebred or not.
purebred means if it's mixed with any other breed or not, it doesn't mean if it's very attractive.
a dog can be pedigree and still be ugly compared to non-pedigree dogs.
your dog is not bad at all, it's an okay boerbel and it looks purebred to me(although not from a top bloodline), just enjoy your dog and stop worrying about all these things.

nah i don't, i'm just that gifted

if you call going on every dog thread on NL acting like a prepubescent fool gifted then you are very gifted
