Good day pet lovers. I want to get a dog for myself but no idea of the best to go for. It's not for business but a personal pet I can take care of so I'll like your suggestions.

Me too I'm on this table I need a good security dog and have never owned one before but my current need for one right about now is somewhat unique . . . In case of an intrusion, I need a dog that I will train to have a mentality of " Boss, let me go and distract that thief so you can use your double nose KaLa to sneak up on him and remove his left nyasch " ![]() Instead of a dog that once he mistakenly see gate open, he will just tell me "BOSS . . . HOLD MY BEER I dey come"

| Re: First Time Dog Owner by bassdow: 12:54pm On Jan 20 |
bassdow:but if you to just pick any, go for GSD since they are more like an all rounder. Still you got have time for them else they get distructive. Alternatively, you could get 2 so they have play mates when you don't have their time |

Let's wait for the first bite...... |
| Re: First Time Dog Owner by TheStoriesOfMan: 1:08pm On Jan 20 |
Go for Chihuahua. Very lovely but highly temperamental. They don't like heights, because they are brittle. If you have kids, not a good choice. They can also protect you from harm and malevolent entities. |

SO THIS IS UR PRIORITY IN THIS TINUBU NIGERIA? HOW OLD ARE U? |
| Re: First Time Dog Owner by CaseSensitive(m): 1:18pm On Jan 20 |
Dogs aren’t like gadgets that someone can simply recommend and you pick. A dog is a living companion with its own personality, needs, and temperament. You have to feel drawn to a particular breed, then take time to understand its behaviour, energy level, grooming needs, space requirements, and how much time and attention it needs. What works perfectly for one person may be completely wrong for another. Before you go buy a dog that will chew your furnitures before you return home from work one day out of boredom. My advice would be: first consider your lifestyle, space, time, and experience with dogs, then research breeds whose temperament and needs match you. That connection matters more than any general recommendation. I have a Bull Mastiff X Staffordshire bull terrier and I know exactly why I chose her. |

| Re: First Time Dog Owner by FitCorper: 1:47pm On Jan 20 |
If you want to spend less money on injection, then allow the dog to roam about and mix with other dogs. When their hoofs or paws touches the ground it self regulates their body. But if you want a house dog then get ready to vaccinate them every 6 months at most. |

Buy a Pitbull you won't regret it |
| Re: First Time Dog Owner by Traay: 2:09pm On Jan 20*. Modified: 3:34pm On Jan 20 |
i will advice you go for the lhasa apso. i think they are the easiest to handle for a first time dog owner, they don’t eat much too, most of this big dogs tend to establish dominance over their owner. imagine your dog trying to chance you in your own house because you have little to no experience about handling big dogs.. if you’re interested i have lhasa pups for sale. check my profile. |
