so you were not hungry and you killed and ate a civet?
what was your reason then?
you don't even know what the animal is and you ate it?
what if it was poisonous?
do you expect to be praised for killing an animal?
what was your aim or motive if not archaic and barbaric stupidity?
it's people like you that give Africans a bad name with this your stupid "if you don't understand the animal, kill it and eat it" mentality
all the years you lived without civet meat did you die?
do you know if the animal is endangered?
do you expect is to see you as brave and fearless because you killed an animal?
it's people like you that caused Nigeria's lack of wildlife
just when I thought Nigerians were getting more educated and civilised, you came here to showcase your ignorance and savagery
people like you are contributing in ruining our countries reputation and ecosystem
rubbish!

ojay36:
It seems mine was bullied also because it has a part of its ear cut off

that must have tampered with the dog's temperament

how was the dog's life as a puppy?
how was it treated?
what kind of environment did it grow up in?

if you can tell me the answers, I'll tell you if you're doing something wrong and we'll see if the new dog will be better.
just remember to check this new dog's temperament before buying so you can be able to mold the dog into what you want.
my dog was shy when I got him at 4weeks because he was bullied by other dogs at the kennel but with some lifestyle changes, I built up the aggression he already had that was dormant in him.
now the dog is 5 months old and very aggressive to strangers.

ojay36:
I will look for a buyer then, i need a very aggressive dog

how was the dog's life as a puppy?
how was it treated?
what kind of environment did it grow up in?
all those things can influence a dog's temperament so I advice you to check if you're doing anything wrong before you get another dog and face the same problem again.

IamAnderson:
When he was four months old two gsd's( one 3 years old, one eight months old) came to my gate and he out-barked them and they left.

Roscoe was attacked by that 3 year old gsd today....the gsd ran into my compound today because my gate was open and tried to attack me.
Roscoe was with me (although he was on his leash) so he blocked the gsd and got bitten.
he tried to fight back but I was dragging him back because I felt that if they fought, the fight might be fatal to Roscoe.
the dog bit his leg but he managed to bark and push the dog, then the gsd ran away.
he's okay tho, the gsd barely injured him due to his fur, he escaped with just a few grazes.
he's limping but I think he'll be fine...

huntinghunter:
Bro, 9 chicken heads? Your dog must be a ferocious eater buts that the way to go. You can also get Vetzyme multivitamins 2,800, Vetzyme cod liver oil 2,200.

lol nah so ooh, the dog eats like a fool :-D
where do you get the supplements for that amount? :O

sounds like the dog wasn't socialized as a puppy

1000angstroms:

Thank you sir, but I'll never opt for any cheap brand, cos I normally see my pets as my fellow human being and a companion. When I eat substandard food, I fall sick and I spend money to treat myself, though investing in good food for a dog is capital intensive but it pays in the long run since your dog wouldn't be falling sick much warranting more spending.
Do I also need the vitamin supplements when using the diamond puppy food?

When you're feeding the dog with diamond puppy food it's not really compulsory to use vitamins.
I mix my dog's diamond food with rice and chicken to make it last longer because he eats a lot, so I give him vitamins, cod liver oil and calcium supplements too
I give him about 3-4 cups of diamond a meal with rice plus the supplements twice a day with 9 chicken heads and little milk and it works well
My dog is 5 months old while yours is still very young so I suggest you don't mix the food now, that can be done when the dog is older
My dog can also finish a bowl of the medium sized dog bowl full of food in one sitting but I think yours will eat less than that for now so there is no need mixing the food
You can still buy the supplements if you want sha but since you're feeding the dog diamond puppy food, it's not compulsory.
Here are the supplements you can buy;
Vitapet multivitamins- 3000- lasts about 3 months
Cod liver oil -3000- 2-3 months
Bionical calcium supplements - 3000 - 3 months
And always remember to deworm your dog, at your dog's age deworm every two weeks

1000angstroms:
Which weight of diamond puppy food are you using?
How long does it last and what's the price?

I use the 9kg bag which costs about 12,500 and lasts about 1month
Well my dog is a Caucasian and he's a heavy eater so the bag will last longer for you
And if you're worried about the cost, there are other cheaper brands in the market like bingo which costs about 8000 for 9kg and others that are not as expensive as diamond
Goodluck

Eveezy:
Let it rest. They are great dogs, iamanderson has been consistent with his argument and has given good points. I give up.

But anyways for the love of the breed, I want all to see the beauty in dis malinois puppies, note dt diz are puppies with no actual training yet, I will attach link nd screenshots of d videohttps://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2032370150310731&id=1450487291832356

Wow nice! Even at this young age

AyobamiSky:
@ IamAnderson; my goodness, i beg to see people reason like you on this thread everyday. See sense. Bless your intellect. If anyone can truly prove credibly that all you have said above are lies and baseless facts, then such should. I wonder why anyone would compare a malinois to a kangal or co. its no different from comparing a defensive mildfielder who is quite a better 'all-rounder' and a Centre back who although can initiate an attack has his home on d defence.
Keep you head up. Keep learning, get ur knowledge no matter d source. internet, mags, library, jokes, just get it. kudos for your knowledge and stance

Thank you so much, this means a lot to me

mrsbingbagbo:
Can I keep them as pets ?
Are they dangerous?

they are mostly feral I don't think they are easily trainable

Return them to their mother nah they are too young and they need her
And they are civets.....thanks for not killing them
They eat meat when they're older but need their mothers milk now

ImFortress:
I'm not having a feeling that you haven't read and understood, I know you didn't and I'm not arguing with you either. I'm telling you, get me first hand experience in Nigeria.

those guys in whatever pictures you posted which I didn't see (Not an issue though), those dogs were professionally hand picked, not just one random dog out of nowhere

So you want to use Nigeria as a reference to show the effectiveness of a European dog?
Let me tell you something, do you know about the west African dwarf goat?(ewu)
That breed of goat has been in Nigeria for years and goat herders have raised them for generations.
Do you know that recently, it was discovered that that breed of goat was native to only this part of the world?
Do you know that the breed of goat is the highest milk producer amongst other breeds?
If you go and tell a Nigerian farmer these things, the farmer will tell you that he has decades of experience under his belt and you are just a novice
Does it still change the fact that the goat that was exported lived up to it's expectations?
The goat is now in a zoo in England as a pet
Meanwhile, in Nigeria the same specie of goat is still seen as trash and eaten anyhow

Secondly, olumoadebayo's malinois where also hand picked and the inferior ones where out down so what's your point?
If you pick a malinois out of nowhere do you think it'll be skilled?
If the malinois where hand picked and trained from puppyhood why can't the COs?

Here's an example of what's going on;
If you said birds couldn't eat snakes and I said otherwise, after showing you these pictures of real birds eating snakes would you still be asking for my degree in ornithology or believe immediately?
Why is it so difficult for you now?
Would you be asking me if I have taken care of up to 5 species of birds before?
Would you be asking me if I am experienced in ornithology?

jeff1607:
to make you understand his point kindly answer this


what is one of the things that usually happen to dogs when imported from overseas (with proven bloodlines),even after feeding the same thing it eat overseas?


only first hand experience or studying a particular breed can give you an idea.

you can't all answers on Google .

Yes, not all answers can be gotten from Google but this isn't one of them
Again I'm not a trainer but I happen to be right about this in particular.... I don't know what you're still saying

ImFortress:
I have first hand experience, oluomoadebayo has first hand experience, what's do you have? Internet experience?

I have a feeling you aren't even reading my comments
Because you weren't able to train the dogs to do all those things doesn't mean they can't do them, that's what I've been trying to tell olumoadebayo.
The people that trained those dogs are more experienced than you and are apparently better at it than you but you're still trying to discredit them because I'm not the one?
If you were arguing with one of those men that trained the big dogs and he showed you pictures of the dogs doing what they said they couldn't would you still be arguing?
But I guess it's because you know I'm not a trainer that youre still saying that googled pictures and videos of the things happening aren't facts

ImFortress:
There's always an exception in every breed.

So give us first hand facts biko.


Okay, lemme make this easy for you, give us first hand facts from/in Nigeria.

I have first hand experience, oluomoadebayo has first hand experience, what's do you have? Internet experience? Come on bro

Are the screenshots I shared fake?

IamAnderson:
COs and other big dogs are also more lethal In an attack than any malinois
A malinois cannot take down a kangal or CO in a fight
A malinois is not a very strong or deadly dog
Malinois are only used in the military because of their speed,size, health,agility and mental capability not because they are better than every other dog
A well trained kangal or CO can properly attack intruders and guard a place or person well, they are not as slow, stupid and useless as you made them seem
Malinois are better working dogs but not better guard dogs
These dogs are two different dogs for two different purposes, don't make it look like the malinois can do the work of every dog better than the dogs that were actually bred for them
They are both good at what they do

This is a summary of my argument, unless you can prove anything I said wrong, don't mention me again
Someone was even saying the scenes were staged, did the dogs know they were staged?
Anybody that has eyes can look at the pics to see the dogs doing everything you said they couldn't and that was my aim
You're just angry because someone without any experience was right about something you claim to have years of experience in
I am not a breeder in fact.....all of you probably have more experience than I can dream of having but you can't deny what I said was true
I got all those videos from professional CO,kangal and Tibetan mastiff trainers I didn't animate them to decieve anybody
The videos showed the dogs doing everything you all made seem they couldn't
I also talked about the strengths of the malinois and I also admitted the things they where better at doing than big dogs
Don't mention me again on this thread unless you can prove anything I said wrong

ImFortress:
The problem you internet breeders have is that, all the experience you ever gain was from the internet, no first hand experience. Google might not be inaccurate, but Google always shows you what you ask for because there is and Will always be an exception.

Look up American pitbull terrier and Google will pop up American bullies, then Naive internet breeder will start parading American bullies as APBT, then tag the real Apbt local dogs.

Now back to the subject, if any of you don't have first hand experience from at least 5 dogs of each breed, kindly and humbly shut up, let people that knows talk and you learn.



STOP SINGING GOOGLE, ITS ANNOYING

I never said I was a breeder
I never said I was better at dog breeding than anybody
I've already made my point and none of you have Been able to discredit it so if you don't have any other thing to say apart from me getting my stuff from Google then don't mention me again
The videos I posted were not animated where they?
You said somethings I didn't agree with, I posted googled facts, you said that googled facts weren't enough, I posted the actual videos of the dogs, you're still talking about Google

Kelvin30286063:
Hello guys, I'm thinking of getting a pet lion. I already met with the seller and we have discussed at length.
He assured me that she won't be any problem later on as long as I keep her in check all the time. Give her regular domestication pills and feed her well.
Now the issue is, I have two dogs who are so precious to me. I hope I won't come home one day to see that Miss lion has eaten my dogs?
Any advice before taking this major decision?
Also, I'll like to state that I met all the criterias... Big compound, exclusive cage area, isolated environment and stuffs.
I wouldn't have been scared like this but everyone I've told always end up passing a scary remark about it.
FIRST picture is the lion selling website.
SECOND are my dogs.
Please before you criticize me, note that I've always been a fan of lions since I was like 6 years old when I went to the zoo with my uncle and I've promised myself that I will get one someday when I'm financially able.

let's start with some questions
shebi you know that white lions are albinos?
they are not just white because lions can be white....it's a skin condition like albinism
are you sure you can handle a fully grown lion?
you cannot take a lion on a walk, and the lion needs to be fed heavily with meat(it's a carnivore and no it cannot survive on milk if that's what you were wondering)
your dogs will most likely get eaten or killed by the lion because... it's a lion and it will see them as competition
can you dedicate your life into taming a lion?
you will have to either hire a professional trainer or quit your job because you cannot have a lion to tame and be going to work...it's a full time job
you cannot physically control the lion if it decides to attack and kill somebody so it'll have to be kept in a cage to keep it away from people and you know what they say about caged predators
this plan as much as you think you can make it work, is a recipe for disaster
all those people you see on TV with tamed lions are professionals and they also dedicated their lives towards training the lions, even at that they are still dangerous.
unfortunately, your love for the animal cannot be converted to the skill you will need training it
i suggest you keep your lion fantasy as a fantasy... it's for your own good and for the safety of the people around you

Among all these mega churches, only opm is truly helping the poor.

actually.... it's only opm that is announcing it
salvation ministries bought hospital equipments worth over 1billion naira last year and donated it
they built a road to with their own equipments after the government has over looked the road so many times
yesterday too they fed a lot of people after church
because they don't announce it on TV doesn't mean it's not happening.

Aeman:
It is not a big deal bro this is a dog feed it whatever you eat and don't forget to make available clean water at all time milk and some fish debris.

that's a very terrible idea.....there are many things that humans eat that are poisonous to dogs e.g onions,garlic e.t.c
besides a puppy that young isn't meant to be feeding on garri and rice.
the dog needs protein and calcium to grow, feeding it garri and the rest will not nearly be enough for optimum growth.
besides, all these processed dog food contain some antibodies and well balanced nutrients that contribute in keeping the dog healthy
my dog has been on dog food since 4weeks and he has never fallen sick...but when he was four months and I changed his diet to human food, after some weeks his leg started vibrating and one leg became smaller than the others.
I had to spend like 30k and also move him back to diamond puppy before he could walk again.
now he has completely recovered and he has never had any issue since then.
I'll advise you to keep the puppy on puppy food at this early stage so the puppy will grow well, when the dog is mature then you can feed it human food just remember to research about the things harmful to dogs and avoid them.

feed the puppy dry dog food(make sure you soak it in water first), and also puppy milk or little evaporated cow milk...don't over feed cow milk or the pup might get diarrhea

noskcid:
oh thanks for the info do you have the recommended one to sale?

unfortunately no, I don't sell dogs I'm just a dog owner, goodluck finding one

Namdeenero:
Start basic obedience training right away bro

he already knows the sit, stand up, go outside, go home, handshake, come, jump, come and eat, and relax commands
I just need to learn how to control his aggression and also make him obey me better
that's the only issue I have with him....his stubbornness

animal abuse is not funny does the dog know what it did was wrong? it's just like beating a baby that doesn't know better for spoiling something

noskcid:
I need a full female bloodline GSD to buy.
Well the slant back as we Nigerians would call it but I know I a GSD would always be slant though.

straight backs are actually the purest type of gsd...slant backs where made when the gsd bloodline was altered for shows

Namdeenero:
Bro seriously it has not been easy at all, some people say Caucasians are couch potatoes but mine is something else, she's very territorial and aggressive. I noticed this when she was just a tiny pup cos she was always growling when I touched her head so I started training immediately. I did all sorts of things that irritate her and flair her up then I started obedience training. Now I can control her when her aggression sets in, I taught her to attack on command when I'm around but when I'm not there the OYO is anybodys case cos she doesn't listen to anybody else except me

guy same here ooh my own is the farthest thing from a couch potatoe and he has exactly the same temperament with yours and I'm trying to teach him obedience.... any tips
he's five months old now I hope it's not too late?
