uchpanila:
nice thread, well done op.

my question : what are the visible difference (features) in bull mastiff and boerboel?

tried Google buh didn't find

visible differences...

the snout....or nose of the bull mastiffs are rumpled and shorter. flatter.

thats all i know. never bred a bullmastiff

uchpanila:
anybody with a better answer to my question?

to come down low.
bullmastiffs ain't has bulky as boerboels but have a smashed looking face. whereas boerboels have a somehow calm looking face but sturdier than his counterpart bullmastiff.
for example the above pics i posted you would notice slight differences in the two dogs.

Magpies:
do you actually know the meaning of legitimate?

so you call yourselves legitimate breeders while selling poor breeds that are worse than mongrels.

so because I deactivated my old account and registered this one now amounts to me being new generation NLer. Na wah o!

80% of the dogs here are no better than mongrels. Why do you think everyone marvelled when that fraudster posted internet cropped pictures of a solid GSD with one of its pups called lizard hunter? That's cos they hardly see such.

c'mon shut the f**k up and go and study
the meaning of legitimate is at my first post inside the thread.

.

legitimate

adjective
1. conforming to the law or to rules.


illegitimate - /ˌɪlɪˈdʒɪtɪmət/

adjective
1. not authorized by the law; not in accordance
with accepted standards or rules.

@bold

Re your breeds in accordance with their breed standards?

No.

Ok...agreed.

Let's see how much of a breed standard you know.

Give me a breed standard. Any breed.

After that show me your dog.

Or rather if you don't have one, I'm willing to sell my 'shaggy' to you. All transactions would be made open here on nairaland and you'll pay.

Then you can come back here to talk of breed standards.

yea, thanks

And once again it all goes South. So predictable

I really don't understand why most threads in this pet section always end up in quarrel, arguments, insults and all....why cant we all for once behave like adults and make dis section more educative for us all.. instead of all dis bullish! t we exhibit here.

Interesting post here, but the heading could have been better put. Let me explain.

Technically, there are no 'legitimate' canine breeders in Nigeria, this is because there is no law regulating the industry yet, neither is there a robust database of purebred dogs. The Rottweiler, Boerboel and German Shepherd Dog associations/clubs in Nigeria derive their 'legitimacy' from foreign bodies.

What we do have in abundance are LOTS of Puppy Millers, Backyard breeders and a very few hobby breeders.

I go out of my way to explain to folks that I am not a breeder (though at no point in time do I own less than 8 purebred dogs at a time, and they have bred unauthorized before), I am an animal behaviorist & pet broker who happens to be a dog lover. The refusal of majority of dog owners to make this distinction is what has brought us to where we are.

So, are you a breeder, hobbyist, puppy miller or a puppy broker?

I think we're missing the main point.

I'm not bothered about what the op used to make his topic.

I'm concerned about the guy who called 80% of dogs here mongrels.

For all I care the op could have used anything to classify them...he didn't ask anyone to buy puppies. All he wanted was answers to questions, which most of us failed to see that point.

Many of you keep mute when newbies come here to ask questions and are the first to jump out to make a comment when someone is saying it wrong.

You saw magpies' mistake but you didn't see that lousy dude's.

Interesting!

well said.. i asked a simple question and the next reply was that i should check my dictionary..'is that a reasonable answer?
i'm not here to castigate anyone but the op should be more polite in his response.

I'm sorry about that, everyone's not perfect. And kudos with the way you replied him maturely.

Magpies, please soft pedal with direct attacks.

Actually, I sidestepped both issues; all I tried to do was clarify what 'legitimate breeding' is about

Lots of dudes here have made some mistakes..so wit the support of the op, mine is simple..COULD EVERYONE SHUT THE F**K UP AND KEEP THIS THREAD MOVING!!!...

had it been we are talking to each other face to face....

What makes you think I can't google up for a breed's standard and paste it here?
