Got some pork spines for Augusto on Sunday. This spinal cord is made up of 80% bone marrows and 20 meat.

Since Augusto is still a 2months old pup and unable to crush the bone marrows into finished stage in order to swallow. i used cutlass to break them into smaller pieces, boiled and pounded it little by little then stored inside the fridge for mixing his breakfast.

Since spices ain't the best for a dog's system, i boil without adding anything to it, the aroma oozing outta the pot alone assured me he'd love it. I usually combine it with his kibbles as breakfast and he loves the combination, I can tell from the way he finishes the finishes everything within 1-2minutes or so (but he doesn't rush his food, he never does). I make the quantity moderate not too much but nutritious and enticing.

Serving a dog too much food at a time isn't good isn't a good thing, it doesn't make a dog grow more than the person serving moderately but balanced feeding rather i think leaving food in a dog's plate always is a bad habit

how much do you get the pork spine and is it as soft as goat spine?
I've only tried goat and cow spines and cow spines are so strong and useless so I stuck with the goat spines.
I'll like to try pork spines too sometime

Jackonsy:
Then educate me please sire because you sound so much as of you are an expert about dog breeding no mockery please

No knowledge is a waste sire

don't answer the account, he doesn't even know what a boerbel is.
He's just looking for attention

Ozonexy:
How have u been handling the shedding

just combing and detangling.
I try to remove the detached fur before they tangle and form matts, so far it's working.

and I also keep him away from moisture because once his fur gets wet, it gets dirty and once it's dirty, the dirt tangles with the fur.

Adrian98:
I'll have to quote you wrong on this. Look at what he posted. The head structure

were you really expecting your dog to have foreign internet quality?
how much was the dog and have you ever added any muscle supplement to her diet?
I didn't mean your dog looked exactly like the one in the pic, I just meant that it was the same type of boerbel just from a better bloodline, more mature, better fed and well exercised.

for average Nigerian standards then your boerbel is okay, not many boerbels look like the one he posted in Nigeria.
don't use dogs you find on google to judge your dogs if not you'll feel bad .
those ones are from top bloodlines that are well taken care of.
your dog is okay

vincentjk:
I think he didn't mean the dog would stop growing at a year old rather he's telling kay to do more work on his girl during her first year of age, that's the best time to bulk a dog up before getting to two years

yeah I just wanted to point out that your dog can add a lot of mass after 1yr, in fact the dog's full mass comes out after one year.
some dogs esp large/giant breeds don't get thick or muscular until after 1yr so if you feel like because your dog isn't as thick as the one's you see online at 1yr then you shouldn't really bother just feed and exercise and the mass will come when it's right
what he said was absolutely correct tho, I just wanted to explain it more, no worries

forreelliinc:
jackonsy them don yab u oooooooooooooooooooo dem say u no dey feed your dog well

you try so hard to be funny it's pathetic smh

MrrKay:
IamAnderson
Trust Mr Rosceo is doing great.
Any current pic of our man?

lol none for now, I haven't really had the chance since he's been shedding his puppy fur.
I think he's done shedding now tho I'll post when I can

Freciprocal:
It is fine. Whatever you do, just know that you have about 4 months more for bulking up ur dog. She won't grow that much after 1 year. Take this period to nourish her and introduce her to a variety of meals. A point would come when she would start to be selective of food. You need to be prepared for that. Also dogs are smart... Whatever they don't like... They don't eat.

you know his dog is a boerbel right?
she'll stop growing at about 2-3 years not one.
at 1 yr she isn't at her full mass or height, she'll still add more although not as fast as her puppy growth.
dogs that grow on an average over 100lbs don't apply to that 1yr rule, they grow till 3yrs although slower with time.
dogs under 100lbs stop growth at around 1yr plus while dogs smaller than 30lbs stop growing even sooner.
it's not the same rule with every breed especially if it's a male dog

e g this is vastelin a Caucasian shepherd at 14 months
second pic at 2yrs
third pic at 3yrs back at his home town
you see the difference right?.
the bigger the breed the slower it grows

MrrKay:
IamAnderson
I'll definitely adjust on her routine deworming.
Base on other meal to introduce as we proceed, i'll like to hear from you.

that actually depends on her, you'll have to try out different meals till one sticks

Jackonsy:
Argument have been ranted whether this dog is a purebred or something else,my vet claimed its 80% and many arguments have been issued about these

Specialists in dog Bree's help us justify the Bree please with reason

No mockery is for educational purpose please

how old is it?
judging by the picture, the dog isn't bad, I'm guessing it's just a bad picture.
you should have shown us the dog's face well, the dog is shying away from the camera

forreelliinc:
doesn't look like a pure bred SA boerboel either

the funny thing is that the dog you posted looks exactly like the one op posted just that it's better fed, exercised and more mature plus it's a male.
you don't even know how to troll.

mafiano1986:
Why are you even wasting your time arguing with that guy? Maybe he is even that little shitt that burnt his puppy alive and posted the video on twitter.

I won't be surprised sef, the guy is very disgusting

Kentura:
And to all you muhfuckas acting like non Nigerian, having orgasms for animals. You have saner things to fight for than animal cruelty. Don't fool yourself.

are you thinking before typing?
"acting like non Nigerian " like animal cruelty is part of being Nigerian.
do you really think being in support of mindless cruelty to animals make you "smart" or "Nigerian"?
it just makes you a psychopathic as$hole, you're the one that shouldn't fool yourself.

Kentura:
You taking it personal and saying I'm a terrible person blah blah blah cus we don't share the same views on animal cruelty speaks volume of your personality..

na me make mistake reply you in the first place.

not having human empathy makes you a terrible person it's not a matter of opinions.
even psychiatric tests show that people who are cruel to animals for no reason have psychopathic tendencies.
no sane person will see your comment and not get disgusted

Kentura:
Who made you their spokesman.?
Your mentality is the twisted one, maybe we should stop eating meat cus we don't want them to suffer.. You should even go and marry one of them. Nonsense!

so me having compassion for a living thing and thinking that it being skinned alive is bad makes me twisted?
and saying I shouldn't eat meat or I should marry them makes no sense whatsoever, not being in support of animal cruelty doesn't mean you are interested in entering a relationship with them.
you are a terrible person and you think like a psychopathic cave man.

kobosmart:
you said bitch

are you 12 years old?

Kentura:
Why acting all emotional ? It's an animal for fvcks sake!

so anything that isn't a human deserves to suffer?
what kind of twisted mentality is that??

Timantech:
the woman don already thank God for answering her prayer..... Quick money

tell her not to try it let her wait for the second r third heat for the dog's sake

Timantech:
But the dog dey very small even the teeth never mature. And my neighbor dey very happy as the dog go get pregnant

don't even try it

space9880:
is it the food or the people that is the problem ?

it's the food mostly lol, fast food doesn't really have much nutritional benefit, it's just to fill your dog's belly, minus that, the ingredients used to prepare some of them are not good for dogs.
you can feed your dog jollof rice from fast food and someone can feed his dog white rice and boiled chicken and his dog is eating better than yours

space9880:
I know about salt , Maggi and onion but I do not know about oil.

too much oily food isn't good for any animal including humans.
if you're going to be feeding your dog a regular diet of palm oil then you should reduce the quantity.
no doctor sef will advice a human to eat oily food in large quantity everyday not to talk of a dog that is less built to process fatty food
palm oil contains a lot of fat and too much fat causes, nausea or pancreatitis.
if you notice your dog's poop is oily or glossy then reduce the oil intake.

vincentjk:
Lols your write up made me laugh really hard @someone feeding milk, tea and hard bones lmao


well it's fine let everybody just feed their dog how they want sha

lmao he feeds the dogs how he likes and he doesn't want to believe it's affecting them no matter how you advise, I'm tired of warning him let him do what he wants.
that's how he buys dogs every time, the breeder he uses even knows him for that and he's a usual customer, that's were I got Roscoe from sef lol.
he also believes this stupid thing that people do that they put alcohol in their dog's eyes and give them to drink at night to make them "aggressive"
I pity the dogs but I'm tired of arguing with him let him do what he wants since he's an expert

vincentjk:
Thanks boss
How's Roscoe the fine boy

he's doing well thanks for asking

vincentjk:
Yesterday's dinner for Augusto. I noticed the excess protein content on these food so i used rice as filler and to also dilute it a bit to avoid purging again.

These are;

An egg
A head of fried fish
Dallas canned food
Awara (made from soya)

this is really good, the meal is rich

vincentjk:
IamAnderson is right. Salt, Maggie, onion and most ingredients aren't good for dogs.

Sometimes i serve meat raw or boil with a little water without adding any ingredient to it, they'll eat it

For the draw soup I use chicken broth and dry fish but add a little Maggie and salt to make it tasty since i got no options

that's how I prepared the soup for my dog the few times I've fed him soup.
people just like to argue with what vets advise like they studied veterinary medicine, because their dog didn't drop dead in front of them.
I know someone that has never had a dog that lived past 7yrs irrespective of the breed and he keeps plenty dogs at a time.
they always die from strange illnesses or sometimes he'll just come out one morning and see them dead. one of them choked on a chicken bone in front of him and died there
he was even arguing with me one day that dogs don't live past 7yrs
he keeps saying it's because of the breed, but he has tried different breeds and they still don't last long in his hand.
he feeds his dogs stupid things and when I complain he'll say he has been keeping dogs longer than I have and I'll just back off and let him do his thing.
the guy feeds his dogs rubbish,from strong bones to tea with Milo and even coco pops or peppersoup and fast food waste
now he's complaining that current gsd of about 4yrs is constantly drinking water and urinating frequently and upon that, he doesn't want to hear that he should watch what he feeds the dogs, now he wants to try out rottweiler
I don't get why people find it hard to listen to instructions about all these dog related warnings, they always want to argue with no credibility or tangible proof so they'll feel like experts and say "you don't even know anything about dogs".

Freciprocal:
Misconception!

My pet amazed me at 3 months when I gave it okro. for the next few meals... She refused to eat her food (husse Valp dry food)... I tried native soup... It relished it again. So what I did from 4 months was that it ate dry food in the mornings and at night was surprise time. Mashed yam, mashed potatoes, noodles, eba with draw soup...etc

I complained to the vet that this was weird.. 2 vets confirmed that this is normal for mastiffs

Palm oil, salt and Maggi is not good for any dog? :oMehn I really doubt you know things about dogs

so because your dog didn't drop dead after eating it's a misconception?
do you think when you're asked not to feed your dog's excess oil,salt and also not to include onions in their meals it means they'll fall down and die after eating?.
it's people like you that complain that their dog died at 6yrs of "unknown circumstances".
go and read up on the dangers of feeding dogs onions and salt with excess oil long term and stop deceiving yourself.
this is even general knowledge, i don't know why we're having this conversation, saying it's a misconception with no validation or proof is just a very ignorant thing to say. do you think you're smarter than vets or other dog owners? lmao please.
because your dog is rushing something doesn't mean it's healthy or good, if you give a dog chocolate it will rush it too but chocolate is deadly to dogs

Freciprocal:
There is no special way... Just ur regular draw soup... Preferably okro. Try it once and see if she likes it.

you don't adjust the Ingredients for your dog's okro soup?
all that palm oil, onions, salt and maggi isn't good for any dog.

MrrKay:
Freciprocal
Ok Bro.
Though i just want to place her on dog food for a year.
After which i can nw adjust.
What do you think?

For deworming, i'll adjust, buh i was told that is the normal.

deworm her once a month, the every two weeks thing became too much once she crossed 3 months.
you can place her on dog food for a year if you want but you also have to introduce her to other things too so she'll not select food in future.
my dog was fed mostly dog food for a year like how you want to do with Xena but along the line I introduced him to other meals so taking him off dog food wasn't hard.

MrrKay:
Freciprocal
Draw soup and swallow?
Not yet Sir.
I heard it's been prepared in a special way.
Maybe you tell me, it seems ok for dogs.

don't put her on that diet now ooh lol
she's too young for that, besides you want her to add mass, garri isn't the right diet for that

MrrKay:
IamAnderson
I really appreciate you.
You take your time to attend to anything here, it's marvellous.

I'll know what to do about it.
Buh i will ensuse whichever dog she meets must be a female b4 male dog will tidy Xena joor.
The few guys i know here owns big dogs esp CO, ROT.
But it seems Xena is showing signs of dog aggression or will i call it play, she always want to get off leash, when she sees dog bigger than her. Buh she has no issue with smaller dogs or maybe mongrels, she ignores them outrightly esp when they bark.

you're welcome
I think you should pair her up with a female, it's a safer plan for her.
just make sure it's a level headed dog that can easily be called off in case their is an issue.
the dog I picked for mine was an adult gsd but Roscoe was already bigger than him so the dog respected himself
the only bully their was Roscoe who was always climbing him and following him around.
then sometimes if he enters, Roscoe's kennel Roscoe will start barking at him but I was always with them when they are both free so I didn't record any casualties.
don't also introduce her to a dog that's too hyper, like all these busy body Lhasa's they might overwhelm her and she might do something stupid.
just take it easy and with time she'll be Fred with other dogs

MrrKay:
Another challenge is this. Whenever i am walking Xena,
And a dog barks from a compound we're passing.
Xena always restrain her movement, even sometimes she might want to go back, as if she is scared.
After enquiries i was told, that it is always a normal thing, that at this stage she need socialization with other dogs, that if i don't socialize hes with other dogs, crossing her will be a challenge when she comes on heat.

Menh i am now asking, won't there be a fight? During the socializing thing?

Make una help me for this matter.
#iamkeentolearn

I expected this to happen at some point.
she's the only dog so you have to socialise her with other dogs to prevent fear of other dogs or dog aggression.
when you want to socialise her, look around for a calm dog, preferably a puppy that she can play with and make sure it's on neutral ground.
when she has become more comfortable with the presence of another dog then bring the socialisation to her own territory.

Roscoe doesn't like other dogs too since he grew up with only humans from as little as 1month of age. when he sees another dog, he ignores it, even if the dog is barking at him he just stands there and makes no effort to even sniff the dog or something.
when he was 7months old, I took him to a compound where their were 3 dogs, one adult gsd, one adult cauc and one 4 month old cauc puppy.
the dogs were trying to sniff him and engage him with play but he refused to join them.
instead, he came back to where the humans were staying to chill with us .
I had to take the adult gsd to our own compound for a little holiday before Roscoe paid him attention.
immediately he saw him and his owner walk into the compound, he started barking at the dog and when I freed him after the owner left he ran straight to the dog and started sniffing him all over.
he thought we brought the dog to cross or something because he started mounting the dog to hump him
the gsd stayed a week plus with us and they never fought, their was just little passive aggressive dominance moves here and there but it went well later on.
the gsd bit Roscoe once sha, Roscoe was looking for trouble and was trying to hump him so he bit him in retaliation.
Roscoe was fine tho because of the fur, the gsd just got a mouth full of fur and choked on the hair a little but Roscoe was unharmed, luckily I was there to stop it immediately he got bitten before there was a retaliation from him.

some dogs that grew up alone irrespective of age react with fear when they see other dogs especially when the other dog is angry at them, some react with anger and dog aggression while some ignore other dogs like my own.
it's not something that socialisation won't fix so don't worry just look for another level headed dog.

although Roscoe doesn't seem to enjoy the company of other dogs, even when we were walking the gsd with him on the road he refused to turn his back to the gsd.
he only walked if the gsd is far in front of him, if it's the other way around he'll keep on turning back to stare at the gsd.
I'm just happy he doesn't have dog aggression if not that would've been a problem.

Spanishmilf:
well in d last 2 mnth am broke asf so i give him
Indomie
Dog food from feed mill.. D thing looks like amala
Chicken
Rice and spaghetti plus porridge
But he is not intetested in rice he hate rice

see tbh, all those things will just fill his belly but the nutritional value isn't that good.
when you're feeding a puppy (especially a mastiff or molloser) concentrate more on the protein content of the food.
all those things are mainly carbohydrates, protein is what will build him up well.
when he's an adult then you can slow down with the protein but as he's young give him all the meat,fish and eggs you can lay your hands on and you'll see the difference in his stature
