Your puppy has more of the German shepherd genes than the cacausian shepard.

how? list 3 gsd characteristics you can see

at 3 months the dog is still a puppy, you don't need to do anything to make it aggressive at this age.
Caucasians are naturally aggressive, just give the puppy time to grow you'll see

nelsonose:
My questions:
1. Is a puppy from an aggressive parents without any special training not supposed to be aggressive?
2. At what age is a dog supposed to start barking or show aggression?
3.What are the signs to watch out for in determining a puppy that will be aggressive as it grows up?

1. puppies usually inherit the temperament of their parents so if a dog is very aggressive, the probability of it having aggressive puppies is high
2. different dogs have different growth speeds so it depends on the dog and the environment. some start at 1year, some start at 2months
3. the puppy will already be showing signs of aggression, it may not be focused but the signs will be there. it may start trying to snap at it's litter mates or barking at strangers, some even try to pick fights with their litter mates for no reason, things like that

Police dogs are professionals who have been trained by professionals. This is Nigeria, so the only way we know how to train our dogs is to make them aggressive and untrusting, here in Nigeria, who can afford to train their dog to be like police dog or like military attack dog, you will just go to them, they will tell you 70k after you have just spent 50k to buy the dog.

Me, I don't even need my dogs to be like police dog, as long as they can bark to alert me and bite any stranger who tries to pet them, then it is OK for me. Because I need them to alert me and my folkes when there is an intruder around and I don't like people to pet my dogs when I am not there, if not, they will be too trusting.

speak for yourself, no wonder your threads always go like this ; "my dogs are driving me mad", " does your dog do this?" , "my dog pees a lot" . your dogs aren't even potty trained but you've jumped to making them "aggressive and untrusting".
their are basic things you need to train your dog in personally having a dog isn't just about barking and biting

Oga stop throwing tantrums and learn, everything he said were 101 percent correct. You guys just damaged the dog hooha! Not every fierce looking dog will be territorial as ignorant people think. Why is it that we humans even within our nuclear family circle have varied personality.

and the person is proudly saying that the dog was so aggressive that they couldn't mate her as if it's a good thing

mhd5757:
Yes caging and chaining some dogs brings out the beast in them, because when they don't see any people, it makes them not to trust anybody, and also makes them more territorial too, I have seen it, people say its fear aggression but it is but I don't believe that nonsense, my own dogs are not scared of anybody, and they will bite anybody that messes with them or runs away from them, even loud noises don't scare them, it makes them bark more heavily.

I don't know why Nigerians don't like accepting something, do you think police dogs are chained throughout?. they are trained and socialised properly, having a dog that you cannot take on a walk freely or a dog that tries to attack other dogs or everyone isn't something you should be proud of.
no professional dog trainer will advice you to chain your dog up for months to make them aggressive, I bet you if you take your dog outside it's house to a place it has never been before then let a stranger attack it with knockout you'll see how your dog will drag you and run.

fear aggression is not real aggression, a good guard dog should be able to recognise and differentiate between a threat and a visitor. barking anyhow doesn't make it a good guard dog, they are just acting like that because they are scared or nervous because they don't see people regularly if a group of people come or someone that is not scared of them attacks, you'll see how they'll back down. because it attacks and barks at children that come to fetch water doesn't mean it will have the mind to attack 2 grown men holding guns.

I've seen a scenario were the guy had 3dogs, 2gsd's and a cauc. he trained the gsds by himself while the cauc wasn't his, the gsds are only released at night while the cauc was well trained by his previous owner. one day, 3 men infiltrated the compound to rob and all 3 dogs came out and barked ferociously. to cut the story short, shots were fired and guess which dogs ran to hide in their kennels(where they are locked up everyday)?, the gsds! the cauc still stood and attacked the intruders and chased the intruders away even after it got shot( it wasn't lethal and the dog survived).

fear aggression isn't real aggression, a dog with fear aggression is a danger to others and also itself, train your dogs and also socialise them, we see guard dogs in other countries being well trained, I don't know why Nigerians feel like ours should be chained for eternity for them to be good guard dogs

I returned from a 1week trip, noticed he wasn't feeling too well but my friend i left him with said he's fine

The next day, it became so serious and before i realized what's wrong, he died the following day

I'll never leave my dog behind and travel next time

was he vaccinated against parvo?
what were the symptoms he was showing?
you have to check all these things so if it was something contagious it won't transfer to Gustaf.... I'm so sorry this happened

mhd5757:
My dogs have turned the front of the compound in to their toilet, anytime I release them, they will run to the front and shitt, so I started keeping them chained up all the time, yesterday, I released them for only 30 minutes to play and exercise a little and in that 30 minutes if you see the shitting they did ehh!? especially the gsd,
that one has got a reputation of being a shitting machine, he was the one that even corrupted my Rott/gsd bitch to be shitting anyhow.

From now on I'm going to keep these dogs chained up all the time, and let them loose only once in or twice a week to move and play around and even if I do so, I am going to be there to monitor their movements.

This shitt is getting out of hand, enough is enough! I'm keeping them chained up at all times, even if it makes them overly aggressive as they already are, I don't care.

living things shiit, it's part of life when you were buying them didn't you know dog's poop? I don't know why you're angry that they're doing it. when you buy adult dogs that haven't been potty trained that's what happens.
chaining them won't stop anything, don't harass them for doing something natural, you'll just make your dogs sick and frustrated. sometimes it's what you feed them also plays a part in this

vincentjk:
So sad, i lost murphy in the hands of death.. May his soul rest in peace

Only God knows the best

what happened?

metroid:
Which features made you come to this conclusion?

boerbel features are the coat,blackish mouth and light flaps on it's face, paws

local dog features are it's red eyes, chiselled face and it's body stature is not as stocky as a boerbel's

mustykay:
dewormed during vacination 3wks ago

you should deworm every 2 weeks
they look like they have worm infestation that's why I asked.
have you noticed any change in their appetite or behavior?

when last did you deworm the dog?

are you deworming them??

Lloydthesaint:
Anderson I’m seeing the rot head that dog is an abomination

it's not a rott head....the dog has no rott colouration. it's a boerbel local dog mix

I don't know were you guys are seeing the rott on this dog this dog is obviously a boerbel and local dog mix

TIDDOLL:
yes bro.. She is.

I think you should breed her with a straight back then, the physical difference between a straight back and slant back are noticeable.... you might just end up with puppies that look like they have leg deformities then you'll have to be explaining to buyers that they are "semi-slant back".
Freya is a very lovely dog don't mix her genes and create inferior puppies, breed her with a straight back so the standard will still be there

Lolz... Carry on

I ll end my argument with u on this note

https://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2012/01/12/ways-to-treat-canine-behaviors.aspx

Here's an interesting writeup from the site I quoted
Behavior in animals (including humans) is regulated by neurotransmitters and hormones. These substances have precursors, which are chemical compounds that precede them in metabolic pathways.
The main theory behind nutrition and its ability to alter canine behavior is that making these precursors more – or less – available, may make a difference in a dog's conduct.
Tryptophan, for example, is the precursor of serotonin (a neurotransmitter). It is believed its presence or absence may affect AGGRESSION and stress resistance in dogs.
Tyrosine, a precursor of catecholamines (hormones produced by the adrenal gland), may also affect aggression and stress resistance.
Don't just sit in your comfort zone and say food doesn't affect a dog's level of aggression. Try to read more often and open up your mind to learn new things

nothing in the article said a dogs temperament can be changed with food.....yes some hormones can affect dog behavior but the dog's natural temperament is always going to be there.
it's the same with humans, their are drugs you can take that will make you feel more energised, happier, hungry, relaxed e.t.c it doesn't still change the person you are, after they wear off you'll still return to your natural behavior
giving a dog alcohol can trigger some undirected aggression but it still doesn't make the dog an aggressive dog. do you get me?
even feeding a dog bloddy meat contrary to what people believe has no effect in the dog's temperament.
in summary, if your dog is an aggressive dog, if you give the dog a product like "nutricalm" the dog will calm down but once the dog wears off, you'll still be stuck with your aggressive dog
nutrition cannot change a dog's temperament, certain hormones can trigger certain behaviors but they are not permanent and the dog's natural temperament will still remain the same
I read a lot BTW and I don't just believe rumours I hear from Nigerians that just guessed something and accepted it as a fact

is Freya a straight back?

Majikals:
Biology and sexual orientation is being researched but you believe fura da nunu theory is not being researched neither is worth researching.
Open ur mind to new horizons, we learn everyday and a whole lot of knowledge is being churned out daily.
Like I said earlier, you don't have to believe What I believe but you have no right to dismiss what I believe if u can't proof me wrong with biological evidences.

it is a fact and not a theory that no kind of food can instill aggression in a species....we shouldn't even be having this argument.
there is no new horizon for me to open my eyes to...this is just plain stupid.
if you tell a licensed vet or scientist that the person will have a good laugh.
it's not everything that hasn't been researched that has a probability of being true, you don't need a scientific experiment to tell you that humans weren't breathing out fire in the olden days....you just know it's a ridiculous claim.
no food can make a particular species aggressive and that's an undebatable fact, don't just imagine something in your head and feed your dog and when the dog becomes aggressive with age or change in environment you'll blame it on the food you fed it. try feeding a passive adult dog furs de nunu and continue it's day to day lifestyle exactly how it has been and see if you'll notice any changes in it's temperament.

Majikals:
"The relationship between biology and sexual orientation is a subject of research. While scientists DO NOT KNOW the exact cause of sexual orientation , they THEORISE that a combination of genetic, hormonal, and social factors determine it."
That's the first paragraph of the link you just referred to me. My friend, u don't call an unexplainable theory ignorant just because u don't understand it. I suggested to the OP" fura da nunu" based on strong opinion of some people who have consistently used it and believe it works for them. Have u researched that theory or have any other proven experiment elsewhere, to just quickly dismiss the claim?
You don't have to agree with everything people say but you just can't openly dismiss their claims if you have no proven facts to do so. Good morning

biology and sexual orientation is being researched because their is a relation and it makes sense that they'll be linked logically.
which scientist in his or her right sense will want to research on how "fura da nunu" makes a particular species aggressive?
it makes no sense because that's where logic comes in, not everything has to be debated or researched. I can say that oranges made my dog aggressive because I was feeding him oranges when he was a puppy and when he matured aggression kicked in. yes the dog became more aggressive with age but an ignorant person will say it's because of the oranges :-/
you see my point?, any body that has reasoning will know that that is a bullcrap theory, they is no kind of food that can make a particular species aggressive.
good morning

Majikals:
In biology and logical terms, What is the cause of homosexuality, especially in the human species?

what does that have to do with the topic?
anyway,I would have typed it for you but since it's late and I don't have time here's the link if you can read understand it take your time
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_and_sexual_orientation lmao you really thought you did something

Majikals:
Well, I suggest you lock them up during the day and release them only at night. Also try to feed them time to time with fura da nunu (opinion from some quarters says it makes dogs aggressive)

this is so ignorant, who told you fura da nunu makes dogs aggressive? what is the logic or biology around that?
and so you expect him to lock up two *ESKIMO* dogs up all day and release them at night
you do realise they are naturally pet dogs right??

Kelvin30286063:
They are going to 7 months now

at 7months they are still puppies nah
besides you encouraged the behavior by letting strangers pet and feed them when they were younger
although Eskimo's aren't aggressive, restrict their contact with other people except your family the dogs will learn to recognise people as strangers when they reach maturity
don't cage them or beat them for something that is in their nature that you encouraged, when they get older they'll calm down if you restrict their contact now

Kelvin30286063:
Mine are worse. Though my dogs are not on the breed of dogs that are known to be aggressive but a little barking will make sense. One of my two dogs is so stupid that if a stranger enters my compound, she will run to him and start swinging her tail at him as if she knows him before.
I know I bought pet dogs when I bought Eskimos but why can't they be a little principled for christ sake.
The male is okay, he is reserved and almost never swings his tail at strangers but he doesn't bark too.

I'm very sure your dogs are puppies

how old are they?

bigmo1:
See how u are passing judgement on what you know little or nothing about.
We brought in 3 boaboel puppies from SA. 1 male (Tiger) and 2 females (Bukky and Sugar). They were all brought within d same environment. Tiger and bukky were both aggressive from d get go, unlike sugar that was timid from 2 months, although she weighed more than the bukky and tiger. Bukky was so aggressive that till she died, tiger couldn't successfully mate with her. Besides, these are guard dogs and they ought to be aggressive and should have fierce barking, not a weeping dog.

did you socialise the dog? no
because the dog started barking in it's cage doesn't make it a good guard dog. so I don't see the point you're trying to make. a dog started barking at everything after being locked up for months and you think it's a good thing?
only knockout can be used to send that dog running back to it's cage to hide.
the dog is barking because of fear and anxiety not territoriality, if you're faced with a serious threat the dog will go back to it's cage which is it's territory to hide.
boerbels aren't even frequent barkers so for your dog to be barking like that it shows how unstable it is.

bigmo1:
We had a similar boaboel called Sugar. She didn't bark for over a year and was very timid. She even ran from chicken and used to hide behind flowers. She was later caged for several months and all of a sudden became so aggressive and barked at d slightest noise.

this is so wrong, the dog was scared because of lack of socialisation and now you've given the dog fear aggression and an unstable mind congrats

what breed is the dog?
at 5 months old the dog is still a puppy so you don't need to rush anything
where the puppy's parents aggressive?
what kind of environment does the puppy live in?
these are the kind of questions you should be asking yourself instead of looking for how to instill unnatural aggression

youngest85:
Cut its tail and make sure you add Igbo to its food

who is this one saying?
you obviously don't have a dog or know anything about them
don't take this man's advice

the dog's pasterns don't look right the dog's pasterns don't look right

it's best you continue with what the cute puppy is used to, changing her diet completely isn't a good idea right now
