hia...which one be nigerian local shepherd dog and mongrel again? Dude, they re all same irrespective of their relative nomenclature. A local dog aka ekuke is a general name for ya so called mongrel(mutt). Dont go misleading people about nigerian shepherd dog, what's that? That name doesn't exist if u go searching just a cooked up name here in nairaland. Go to any country, you will see those (ekuke) roaming the streets without homes cos people prefer dogs with traceable pedigree and specie name. That Ops dog will remain a local dog until a better recognized name by AKC or better FCI is given to such breed.

I don't think a "local" dog is a mutt or Mongrel. And just because these dogs have not been recognised by the AKC doesn't mean they aren't pure. Infact they could even be "purer" than other dog breeds because they really haven't been tampered with genetically. And if we had a Kennel club in Nigeria then maybe we could have registered it as a Nigerian Shepherd. Because in truth it is our indigenous breed just like other Shepherd dogs from other countries.

I love that, we need a Kennel club here in Nigeria, just don't get why it's still not here yet!

yea d nigerian shepherd dog was a name formed here on nairaland which i decided to use since we still on nairaland. And plzzzz do u know wat a mongrel or mutt means, in a simple explanation, it means a dog with no traceable origin, a mongrel could also mean a cross breed of several breed of dogs to d extent that d breed is not known, a mixed breed is a dog that has two breed in its mix, its origin can be traced. When i said nigerian locale dog, i meant dogs that originates from nigeria nd also bred here. They are also called mutt because they have no traceable origin, and y is that? Its because we dont practice planned breeding here, lets take for instance a black nd brown local dog is mixed with a similar black nd brown it produces offsprings of similar coats all depending on your purpose or plan of breeding, d offsprings if continued to be bred that way could be considered a breed, well too bad we dont have any body, agency or club here in nigeria that could regulate d standardiztion of breeds or recognition of breeds. But as a result of this unplanned breeding, white mate wit black, short wit tall, they are now considered mutt. A nigerian mutt is different from a foreign mutt and thats d point am trying to make. I believe wat is regarded as ekuke is d nigerian local dog. But a mutt could be that several breed of dogs could be in its mix nd there fore have no origin or breed, a mutt could have a pure breed in its linage bfor being mixed with oda breeds but a 9ja local mutt has no foreign breed in its mix nd therefore a 9ja made, strictly 9ja blood. Just try understand me, d guy no dey pay me money to explain to una, i just dey explain wetin i know

u really don't have to write these whole epistle to stress ur point but i managed to gather some few though. Let me qoute ur exact writeup incase u skip that part;

this isn't our Nigerian shepherd, I could say its a mongrel, mutt or any term for mixed breed but its not our local dog.

(it definitly an imported mutt,right?) u mentioned this like u can fathom the true pedigree of the pup. if not,what does the pup looks like to u and also tell me why it shouldn't be called the local dog (mongrel) or probably the nigerian shepherd like u put it since it true origin is untraceable? And again, go do a research about this breeds u will see the ones in america,that of india and the rest of africa are basically the same with ours here in appearance. I once watched an american movie where i came across mutt which looks so much the same with the once we have here;for once i did thought twas imported from nigeria . Dont know if u remember a thread about an asian woman that married her pet(mutt). they basically the same;the mutation in thier DNA has undergone series of mutation by many generations to arrive at a stable formation with nothing left to mutate again, unless a new DNA comes in(let say one from a pedigree origin)

what other name do u have in mind? its a mutt given name. Its called local dog because its the more rampant breed found on our home ground. The prefix"local" is not general word for the dog globally,its more like a nickname given to it to describe them due to the fact that its a familiar breed that's found in our locality that's all.

they are all same and I hope you are not isolating them from other breed of dogs, explain to people that import GSD, boerboel and other breeds that they are all same irrespective of the country it's coming from so they would stop wasting money importing them. hope we are saying same thing or is what you are saying meant for Mongrels alone?

nawa ooo, imported mutt? I no talk anitin like that ooo. From my statements that u quoted, i dont know which other way to explain wat i have in mind, am not arguing that d dog is imported, all am saying is that d dog must have a foreign line in its mix, its ofcourse not a pure breed as it has untraceable origin nd i hope u also read d part where i said mongrels could have a pure breed in its linage. To me nd what i see, d dog has in its linage nd not d pure nigerian locale dog

just the mongrels. but in any case, When a gsd or other pure breed genes get altered,the resulting offspring are noticeable irrespective of the country involved. just like how Czechoslovakia breed differ from the germans bloodline(which are even split in verious types). This is as a result of various programs the breed has been subjected to on a quest to gain a perfect working breed. that's why people seek for gsd from a particular country like germany; that has less or no alteration in the breed gene that has so far maintained the breed original nature since the past decades.

Ajanii:
