cbrass: Thanks a lot, will go with Boerboel, am tired of GS

Why Boerboel?

They have anal glands in their bottoms.
I think these glands produce a unique scent for every dog,
so once two dogs sniff each others' bottoms,
they will always recognise each other.

My nairaland advert account [InnobuzzKs] has not been restored back since the hacking attack. Got about N4,300 in my account before the shutdown.
please restore my advert account and the remaining balance of N4,300 .Thanks

Please re-register.

What improvements do you what us to make? What aspect of Nairaland's UI is preventing you from enjoying the forum right now? Thanks.

Call Francis on 08039692385. I don't know him personally, but he wants to sell this cage for 35,000 naira.

Germany has German Shepherds. Perhaps we can call ours the Nigerian Hunting Dog.

As with any other business, you should do some market research. Find out how many people in your area are looking for dogs and what type they like. Right now Rottweilers seem to be hot, but if you buy a Rott puppy, the market may have moved to another breed before it's grown.

SolidMoney: Hello guys,please can someone educate me on what the mutual fund is all about.

Pls ask for this on a new thread since this thread is for discussing tbills.

For dogs, it's only necessary if they are very dirty e.g. when they soil their coats badly. Otherwise, just brush them periodically to remove dead hair (the shedding process is how nature 'bathes' dogs. It replaces dirty old hair with clean new hair) & spray them bi-weekly with Frontline spray.

Vet Doctors agree:

Routine bathing is not necessary for the health of the coat or the dog. In fact, frequent bathing can rob the coat of its natural sheen and make it harsh and dry. For most dogs, regular brushing will keep the coat and skin in good condition and eliminate the need for frequent baths.

Belexy: Just curious.... plz what breed of dog is the local Nigerian street dog that's commonly seen around ?
I just got one and i intend getting like two more.

People think you're asking for the breed, but you know that (local). It doesn't have any official name, but it's known as 'bingo' or 'ekuke' in Yoruba.

What can you train dogs to do? Any videos?

You haf exposed me bro. Not fair!

I'm sorry. I saw it as encouraging a violent action against animals (cutting of their tails!) and over-reacted. I planned to reverse it but forgot.

A dangerous dog. He has strong teeth and a powerful bite, but he is not allowed to use them.

oluomoadebayo: It was perfectly fine after I re-freeze it though.

How did you determine this? Did you try cooking and eating a small portion?

mebad: Won't feeding them with raw food increase their hunting instinct of wanting to feed on every animal they see

Most raw feeders say this is not the case. My dog hunts every animal in my compound, but this started before I even thought about feeding raw.

oluomoadebayo: He admitted to it from the beginning that he might not be pure.

We want to know exactly how impure he is, and the exact nature of the ... impurity.

Drajah: I think this dog is a black Labrador Retriever not a Malinois

That possibility is what I'm worried about. If he's a GSD-mal mix, that's awesome, but a Mal-Lab or Mal-Bingo mix would not be worth it.

jeff1607: Are female dogs good for security? Can they be as good as male dogs in terms of security?

I read somewhere that female dogs are better at personal protection while male dogs are better at property protection, but I think the only significant difference between males and females with respect to security is that males, being bigger than females, are more intimidating.

TribalEAST: I wonder why we are not interested in improving our local breed. I once had a local breed that grew taller and bigger than a rottweiler and was hairy like a sheep dog.

Our local breed are hunting dogs. They are very good at what they do. They are fast, flexible, and easy to control & maintain. If you make them tall, heavy and hairy then they no longer have those advantages. You may as well buy a Caucasian. We need to preserve their original form.

princelybliss: Yes o☺. My dad condition me, the day they bit anybody am dead, meaning them go kill them..

Instead of killing them when they bite someone, you should sell them on Nairaland. Some people need big dogs that bite. Not me, though!

mstik: My dog knows when she does something wrong because she goes into hiding and when you call her, she runs away without answering you.

Your dog knows that she will be beaten when you call her with an angry voice but she doesn't know why you are angry. Dogs are experts at reading our emotions, which is why we see them as man's best friend. But they cannot reason deductively like humans. Dog can only understand that there is a relationship between an action and a punishment if they are punished during the action.

oluomoadebayo: Those chicken you are seeing are not consumable for human. I got them 2 to 4k per 10kg depends on how lucky and quantity I'm buying.

Why are they not consumable for human, specifically? Are they rotten? Freezer-burnt? Just expired though perfectly fine? Thanks.

FKO1: 120k FOR DOG ?

Yeah, it seems too expensive.

oluomoadebayo: I don't know why they are asking this from Romania because I have shipped a lot to Nigeria without this problem.

Were your previous imports from South Africa or some other African countries? Which countries?

oluomoadebayo: My incoming pups awaiting permit, I can't wait.

Cute, I'll get one that looks just like that someday! What kind of work do you (plan to) use your Malinois dogs for?

Rational For Raw Feeding Of Dogs

Dogs are basically domesticated grey wolves. Wolves kill and eat various prey animals and they rely on the meat, organs, fat, and bones in those animals for all the energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals that their bodies need. In other words, they're carnivores.

Since dogs were domesticated only ten thousand years ago, during which humans altered primarily their looks and their behaviour through selective breeding, it makes sense to assume that their digestive systems and nutritional needs are almost identical to that of wolves. If true, this would mean that their digestive systems are designed to process raw meat, bones, organs and fat most efficiently. And also, that dogs do not need to eat anything apart from the various parts of prey animals in order to be fully nourished and healthy. This is a hypothesis.

Many dog owners have tested this hypothesis by feeding their dogs exclusively on the various parts of prey animals similar to those that wolves would eat in the wild. And many of them have reported great results over very many years, suggesting that the hypothesis is correct.

Dogs who eat normal dog food or human food poop a lot, and their poop is usually smelly. This is because they can't digest much of the nutrients in such food, so the nutrients they can't digest are passed out in their poop and feasted on by bacteria, making the poop smelly. Dogs on a raw diet have a greatly reduced volume of poop, and the poop has only a faint smell. That means dogs digest raw meat very efficiently.

Dogs who eat raw flesh & bones have whiter teeth and fresher breath. This is because in the process of tearing tough raw flesh and crushing bones - a task which requires the use of all the teeth in a dog's mouth - the tartar on their teeth is scraped away. Also, while normal dog or human food will leave residues in the mouth (starch, sugar, liquid proteins, etc) which bacteria can feed on to generate that awful mouth odor known as "doggy breath", raw meat and bones are torn and swallowed and almost nothing is left behind except a fresh breath.

Raw-fed dogs are also said to be more lively and healthy (not scientifically confirmed), with shinier coats (due to their higher consumption of fat, which is also their main source of energy). If you feed organs, bones and meat in the right ratio, it will not lead to nutritional deficiencies.

I have never met him but he says he has male rotts, bull mastifs, an english mastiff, and a caucasian for mating.

Henrypraise: I didn't cross her durin d first heat.

Good choice br. Now that she is more mature, complications due to pregnancy are less likely to happen.

Where do you live?

seyiola1: Sir how old is Bully and if you need a trainer I'm always at your service .

What can you train a dog to do?

seyiola1: You need to bath the dog every weekend

You don't need to do that unless the dog is dirty. Frequent bathing makes their skin dry and uncomfortable for them. We can afford to bath every day because we can use body lotion to replenish the oils lost from our skin, but there is no body lotion for dogs. However, you ought to brush your dog's hair frequently to remove dead hairs and make him look sharper, otherwise he will shed his dead hair all over your house.

Can you post pictures of the dog please? I will post my answer to your main question later.

This dog has seriously angry looking eyes. I wouldn't want to mess with him.

Bump. Anyone?

Odunharry: Seun u do av a nice dog..
What it name?nland

His previous owners named him Sloan. I got him less than 2 months ago. He was exactly 2 (or 3) years old at the time.
