Eveezy:
U ve one of d most lovely white GSD dat I ve seen, he is cute nd even cuter wit d lizard in its mouth "lol" and I dnt tink dey re poisonous, cos most of my dogs did it as puppies, dey seem to lyk to target lizards, nd all I did was to jst brush dier teeth nd ntin eva apened. Nd frm ur pics, he seems to ve dis kinda creamy colour, seems one of its parents were black nd tan so dt mite explain d creamy colour, d last pics u posted of dis dog, its ears weren't up den bt nw he is jst too adorable abeg if u wan cross am anytym in future, I wuld personally prefer u use a white also so u culd be lyk an owner or breeder of white shepherds which re nt so common especially here in 9jaa

but where can him get a white gsd to cross with since it rare

fankz alot brov mayroll.
it looks quite eazy though.
that reward of a tin.
can u plz giv mi a perfect example of it..
my dog is really stubborn though

mayorall: My brother please train this dog. Take Alpha position. This dog must not grow that way. Your dog needs proper training. Let her know you are the pack leader. No wolve/lion/Chimpazee, Gorilla dares the leaders. Now it's human - animal relationship, train your dogs the way it should be, when she grows she will not depart from it

lol..yuh funny gan..hw can i train a dog is the problem with all those alpha position..
i m till a novice..morever what is a treat?
it becoming hard for mi to train dem

adebayoggt: I have a gsd mixed breed(Caucasian/Alsatian). 4 months old.whenever I'm not that buoyant to afford her can food or ran out of food I usually buy the chicken head and leg I boiled it without salt and I usually smashed the head and dice it after cooking and mixed with crushed noodles and she always enjoyed it.the leg is always eaten as snack and Vicky loved it.share yours and pls correct me if I'm getting it wrong. a novice anyway but ready to learn.

can we see the pix of ur lovely dog.
the mix breed?

arcbay: You know what? Bowing to a dwarf doesn't make him any taller than you, it only shows how mature u are. I'll just pretend I didn't read all your post cos I gat no time for lowlifes and retards like you. I'll be ranked in your foolishness if I give replies to any subsequent post from you. I wish there was some ways NL can screen people's brains before allowing them post comments here. Emmyvet commented on my write-up, you had no better thing to say than to comment rubbish. Pls if you gat no sense to share, you better shut that trap of yours. If only you know better, i've been into breeding longer than I can remember, sure you were still a suckling then. I believe we should come together and learn, cos learning never ends. I'll stop at nothing to pick up every new idea I can gather on NL and that has helped me a lot in every spheres of life. If you don't wanna learn or add value to others, then get your senseless self off here.

yea i support ya on that,m learning alot here...
i gbagun yuh man

chucky234: Oh my God, you are way dumber than I gave you credit for, where in the world did you get the feeling that I'm a breeder.
I'm a dog lover bro, owned my first dog in 1988 and have sinced owned various other dogs before you dream of getting your first bingo.
It may also interest you to know that GSD is not in the list of my favourite breed, there is no need for me to deceive anyone getting a GSD other than tell them the truth about the breed.
Caucasian, Pyrenee, Kuvazs, Kangal and Siberian Husky are my top 5.
Dog breed standard describe the mental and physical characteristics that allow each breed to perform the function
for which they were
originated. The
standard describes the
dog's looks, movement
and temperament.

The dog needs to
perform a function
assisted by good
mental and physical
characteristics. For GSDs this includes their gait/run. The function of a GSD is to run smoothly and quickly for herding purposes. Slant GSDs have an extreme slop in the back which hinders them from running smoothly and quickly.
The other side states that the extreme sloping hinders the gait/run with wobbliness and
displacement of the
hind feet.

man aint get anyfn awt of what yuh jux said,GSD is not in your list then what make ya fink yuh knaw a fin bout GSD

op change the name of the thread to something interesting

Eveezy: Any modification made should be to imrove I must agree, but u also aware of the shortcomings, does the modification outweigh the disastrous effect(as wat I call d problem) they face re or re more prone to, no doubt more force is more applied @ d chest region, bt den I wuld like to ask is it advicable for ones body weight to be shifted to a particular part? Foot? Ur weight must be balanced to be more effective, no doubt people wit one leg may ve found a way to shift their body weight to d leg which is usefull to them jst as d slant back shift their weight to their chest region which causes lot of complications. And abt d basketball, is it evryone dat jumps high that could be a good basket baller? No! It also requires skills nd expertise. The way tinz re going, I doubt if either of us wuld fully agree dat one particular is beta dan d oda because we bth ve different views as to hw we see tinz, am nt against d slant back or anitin bt wit wat I knw straight back re beta guard dogs even with temperaments nd security conciousness. High energy I dnt tink means pulling on a leash so d strength abt d chest region weight wen walking has ntin to do wit their high energy drive or rey drive. And thanks I ve learnt a few things frm u, we cnt knw all, nd I hope u also learnt frm me, I dnt wana argue abeg

lol..una don tire?

chucky234: lol that dude knows next to nothing about GSD, imagine him telling us that slant back are better guard dogs than the straight back GSD.

mehn i don tire kpata.
i dnt wanna know much again coz i m not gonna be a vet

Eveezy: Boss abeg do ur research well, the gsd re of 2 types which is the showline and working line, the showline german shepherds have slant backs and are used for shows and the working line has straight back which are used 4 guard, herding, and so many oda puroses. And also to correct u, they dnt nd I dnt tink dey ve eva used a slant back in d crime force, do ur research well, any dogs that I ve known to be used in the crime force has always been the straight bk which is the original breed of the GSD founded by Max Von Stehanitz. The slant back was recently developed. What most pppeopple dnt knw is that even among dis two types of GSDs, there re still oda variations among those two, the working line re divided into two which is the German working line and the American working line, the german working line re more huge, stockier and heavy compared to the American working line. And also the showlines are also divide into two the German showline which has a roach bk as it slopes downward I.e there is a particular place dt forms a roach b4 it slopes downward, and finally the american showline which has a more steeper slope. I am going to attach a pics to differentiate btw d german showline and american showline. And lastly they are called showlines for a reason and nt working lines, a slantback shouldn't be allowed to jum as mush as a straight bk would, it kills dem slowly or what do u tink causes hips displasia? Leave the work for the straight back, anyone using his or her slant bk 4 security is stressing the dog, it was bred 4 its looks

mehn gsd re something else,so many different types,i didnt even know myself...

Mckandre: the difference is; choice and appeal, you might decide to import yours( the so called foreign breeds), while I might decide to get mine here in Nigeria. yours will be more expensive and its likely you will get a pure pedigree bloodline.
Here in Nigeria, it's kinda hard to come by the true ones. you might see what looks like a pure gsd, but it will turn out to be a mutt because there's presence of impure breed (mongrel) in its generation.
The pricing altogether is a different ball game.

yea...the mongrel is the likely cause of it all

aguizm: . Bro forget that whistle blowing because with time its gonna get used to the sound or noise. Regain control of your dog by slapping the hell outer its butts whenever it misbehaves.That was how I got my GSD to behave well especially when am at home.

lol,ur punishment hot o..

aguizm: My little problem with my about 5 months old GSD is the way it plays with anbody it sees in our compound be you a neighbour or a stranger,once you are in the compound haaaa it will run to you wagging its tail like its known you for years. It only barks on strangers when its in her cage.The tin dey pain me wella

lol,i experience the same,i jux tire wella.
instead of barking at strangers,jux waggin tail nd sit

oga seuj you be expert on dog too,
plz share yur thought nd ideas on both slant ans straight back..

arcbay: I oppose you on that bro. There's this trend in Nigeria presently which I want us to look into. No doubt the straight back GSDs are good as guard dogs, slant backs too are extremely better as guard dogs cos of many added attributes. One of this attributes is the strength which their hind limbs possess. The reason for picking a slantback GSD over a straightback is the same reason the army will reject a new entrant with a flat foot. Hope you get my point. The slants have better and sharper reflexes, they leap and have a higher jump power than the straightbacks. Has anyone bothered to ask why they use slantback GSDs and dobbermanns for crime control in and outside the country, especially in the STATES? Their only shortcoming is that they're prone to several bone disorders such as hips dysplasia, developmental dislocation, panosteitis, degenerative myelopathy amongst other spinal and joint probs. I still remain a fan of the slantbacks, but that doesn't mean the straightbacks are left out. The straightbacks too have their advantages, they tend to have a higher life span, they have a higher productivity, they are very good working dogs, amongst several other attributes.

that really good,you really know so much about dog,
the fact is that i cant condescend to slant back coz of the problem they likely face.

mayorall: Boss is this real bites or while playing with you?.

sometimes real bite,sometimes play
i got injured with those fang just once,buh seems to be tired of biting now since i bought her a whistle ball

Mckandre: your call ni

correct dog,
buh i at tymes wonder what the different between ur GSD and a foreign one like in the US,
they say to get a pure one is rare to find here,and the price amount to like 90k nd above,meanwhile a naija GSD cost 25k nd above..
the way i see it,they all look the same both naija nd foreign ones,
so what likely to be the different between those two breed since they are rare to find 1000% pure breed?

emmyvet: Lol funny you!

And you think is not possible If seun is into politics he can be that oo.

possible you say,man he has a long way to go not even in his widest dream...
well m not doubting his capability sha..
nobody knws tomoro..
me thibkin of being a president though

emmyvet: Lol I will go for the straight guys because they are better in security, and are the main working Guys but the slant are the show guys

100% correct.

Prodeegee: So u believe that? That means u'll believe if I told you seun is the governor of lagos state. Lmao

lol
mehn jux cant stop laughin..

aguizm: . Honestly bro it could be true o cos I have never heared or seen a GSD puppy that's stubborn talk more of even ignoring its owner.That guy better take the alpha male position or he is in for a lonnnnggggg tin..

i scare the dog away by pressing a whistle ball,seems they re afraid of sharp sound..

mayorall: That boss GSD might be mixed with Pitbull o. jayin jayin oko musu.

guess you are right,the bite from the dog is becomining disheartening these days,
what could likely be the cause?

aguizm: Where my guy kuzee?you really need to read this article by mayor all and put them all in perfect practice before your dogs chase you outer the house and take over your home while you be the one taking commands from them.

lol
you laughing bah..nno wahala.
nice article though,more to learn from the link oga seun gave,
i bet seun has a load of dog in his home..

lol.
