olisafincy:

chairman I disagree with you on using doberman as a guard dog. when seeking for a guard dog size really matters, Doberman cam be an alert dog but lack the necessary size to combat an intruder.

can you hear urcef out you said doberman lack waiten size ? Lols when I mean doberman I don't mean all those cross breed you see people posting on nairaland and other platforms bro if you have read about doberman very well you will understand doberman are categorize are large guard dogs they weigh about 75-100ibs or even more german shepherds are also good guard dogs but are they regarded are large breeds? So u can see size is not the number 1 factor of guard dogs so get ur facts right thankyou

Nice cauc op any caucasian from jos most definitely be a good one I respect jos guys

Firstly op erase that nigeria mentality there is nothing like security dog it's called guard dogs.

That being said another fact it's dat almost all dog. Breeds can be trained to be guard dogs it all depends on upbringing but research shows that doberman and rottweilers are one of the best guard dogs around especially in nigeria if ur in for a guard dog then I think should get either a rottweiler or a doberman

Op there are lots of caucasians for sale on nairaland front page already wondering Why ur stll searching

I'm impressed!!!

To those who aren't aware, the poster above me is the mod in pets section.

WOW!!!

This is the first time I'm seeing you make a comment.
Maybe iff you're more interactive with the members of pets section you'll understand our plight better.

We need segments, subsections. "Dog sales" "about dogs" "help" "breeds" something like that to categorize the section not just having everything muffled up.

We need to know you're our mod, when we ask for help you come up. When we mail you respond. When we cry foul you come make clarification. Push better posts to FP not posts that makes pets section peeps look like weirdos.

Thank you

seconded

I never wanted to dignify you by responding to the apprentice grammar you have there but my love for treating ignorance won't allow me. Living among puppies can immensely affect one's psyche for logical reasoning,hence your animalistic display of your battered low self esteem because there is no orderliness in animal Kingdom.

Superior logic is what wins argument rather than insult.What do you think you know about job opportunities for vet docs that I dont know? For the record, I am a double degree holder from that lion's den(UNN). Can you make such derogatory remarks if you see me in person? With these your semantic flaws, how do you think are representing the lions Mr literate cum professional in your imagination?

The young lad was faced with challenge of making choice and I offered my candid advice based on the reality on ground in this part of the world, and you think your foolery submission is a better alternative by blabbing same old lullaby of vet docs been paid higher than their counterparts in human medicine. Can you show me any vet doc/lecturer whose monthly take home is in seven digits. Don't bother, the answer is NO. A medical or a surgical consultant earns that a month aside private practice from a teaching hospital. One ignorance cured.

Secondly, what is the percentage of nigerians that keep pet and also patronise vet doc for medical attention if need be? Your guess is good as mine.

Vet medicine is a good discipline just like others but we are talking of scale of preference if you studied economics very well. The reason is not far-fetched because the standard of living and our economic malady does not encourage that.

Even the animal farmers engage the services of vet docs for a while and boot them once they are familiar with the routine medications but that those not mean few among them is not making it. it is a question of what percentage.

This is the few I can administer to you for now because your puppy emperical reasoning and poor parental upringing is too pathological for more dose.

mr double degree holder I am in great doubt if you really even graduated from school talkless to graduate from university of nigeria with double degrees you most be a joker.


Firstly lemme make my point very clear veterinary medicine in university of nigeria is a 100% professional course and a noble one for that matter everyone who schools particular in UNN knows that very well I hate aguring with people like you who know little or nothing about veterinary medicine because it's just a waste of time like I said gone are the days were veterinary medicine is being underestimated in nigeria, in UNN being my place of study vet lecturers and professors are the highest paid if you doubt me come down to university of nigeria and confirm it yourself gone are the days were everything is about human medicine or should I say medicine and sugery.

Veterinary medicine unlike human medicine is much more vast and has a broder scope than human medicine by far I dnt need to ask for your opinion because from what I see for you I think u knw little or nothing about veterinary medicine infact I doubt if you really a graduate from university of nigeria. Like I said I respect vet doctors a lot much more than human doctors because they go through much more than the eyes can see vet doctors study varieties of animal anatomy in general while medicine and sugery is engaged in only human anatomy so get ur facts right.


Although both medicine and sugery and veterinary medicine students spend exactly the same number of years in school go through the same housemanship scheme also through about the same anatomy and psychology but the veterinary medicine scheme is much more broader and vast than that of human medicine in veterinary medicine you have to completely study and cover different animal anatomy to numerous to mention back then our lecturer use to tell us that getting veterinary medicine as a course is not the problem but graduating from veterinary medicine is were the problem lies meaning it takes only a knowledgeable individual to scale through vet school respect is given to who it is due even in my school I see the way those guys are being pressured to the last they are the only faculty in university of nigeria that don't go for break like other regular students do even there counter pals being medicine and sugery and dentistry feel and respect these guys to the fullest it takes only a lion to understand another lion so I won't be suprised if u stll don't get the point it takes a lot to graduate as a vet is not easy I knw what am saying

In the aspects of job opportunities I stll stand my grounds that you knw nothing about this profession veterinary.it is people like you who has being brainwashed right from child hood and through secondary school that stll feels medicine and sugery is the only lucrative course in nigeria bro wake up gone are those days veterinary medicine unlike human medicine is very varse providing several areas of specialisation and opportunity everday for one to explore or engage in unlike human medicine you can only work in hospitals or clinics the same doesn't go for veterinary medicine you can choose to work in your own self established hospital, decide to work under ministry of agriculture, can specialise as a professors in universities, work with migration agencies in airports and seaports to control animal coming in and out of the country, work in federal veterinary teaching hospital under government work under ministry of health the varsness is just too numerous to mention the varsness of the course can never be overemphasised I feel petty when I see people like you who has being misled or misled by people also like you who know nothing about this profession talking trash which you are not sure of please stop giving people false opinions on something u know nothing about or not sure of get your facts from the right source and stop beating around the bush stop saying MBBS superior to DVM because currently the oposite is the case gone are those days we are in 21st century cutting edge technology everywhere news ideas, new innovative new jobs opportunities, new developments and inovations we are not in the 1990's bro wake up.

Wonderful write up am very particular about parvo virus breeders and pet owners have to be well enlightened on this just dis year I have heard about 8 cases of dogs/puppies that got infected with parvo and non survive it.

Lols funny young man lemme reserve my comments for something better

arcbay:
"Purity of these rotweiller pups will make u shout yeeepa", "big head, high-energy pups for sale", etc....

Permit me to say, if we keep seeing posts like these, we will remain where we are and the petsection will keep losing experts in d field.

People have never contributed to this section, yet they make the section a dumping ground for adverts.

My opinion, create a subsection for adverts...and let the pet lovers have the section to themselves.

The petsection shld be an avenue to discuss pet related matters, seek advices and urgent needs for pets...but all we see nowadays are all adverts. The good topics go down the thread list whereas adverts keep coming in every now and then. It's becoming boring, bleeding boring.

arcbay u made the best suggestions I have read here so far the sheep has to be separated from the goats seun I think u have to look into this

barcaboi:
oga free matter.....aint worth it.....free am....just let it go and keep enjoying your dog....very soon she'd make u a proud papa.....sits back wt my crocodile meat and zobo*

grand papa indeed can't wait oh

I love the quality of saints I see Bsquard delivers thumbs up Bsquaredkennel

Hello op there are so many caucasians available even on nairaland haven't u. Senn any to buy yet??

Bro u dog's size it ok nah for a rott just dat it's not too bulky...the size of any dog depends on heritage ie the heridity from his linage from both father,great grand father and probably the dams linage too if the puppy come from a lingae of bulk rotts very large in size then the offspring's will definately be large like parents if well taken care of but in the case of your's if u really want to go deep u can ask about the sir and dam of the dog if they are huge in size then urs will probably get bigger but if not then. Can do little or nothing to improve the size....but I recommend u feed more of proteinous food and add supplements like gorrilla max for u it's very effective you seeing visible change within a week

Based on ur story I think ur dog has an eye infection bro u can take her to a renowned vet for eye checkup 95% of eye infection in dogs has a greater tendency of affecting the other eye I don't think the other eye getting blind it really as a result of old age because basenji's (local dogs) are known for living longer than u aspect

If u need top quality caucasian from imported bloodlines then hook up with toxkennel or petlove kennel or royal kennels in jos they have one of the best quality around


If u need good quality cauc hook up with rits kennel in Abu zaira, richykennel or Joedice kennel, in jos or topdogs kennl in Illorin they have good quality too.


If you need a nice caucasian good ones too then hook up with bobbysaxy kennel, Bryan's kennel etc..... the choice is ur's to make

U bought the puppy from petlove kennel rite?

Lols u most be a joker bro u can't get either one of them at dat prize that's the honest truth except u are looking for a crossbreed

Calm down bro no cause for alarm yet the vet has done the major work there the puppy it's in a recovery state so may eat little or nothing at the moment I can remember my puppy going 1week and 3days straight without eating anything during her illness and recovery state....dont force the puppy to eat or else u will make matters worse got to any close supermarket and a get a bottle of yurgot give 2-4 spoons daily that would help the puppy's stomach to Fully recover so it can start eating something but stll sick professional advice from ur vet it's safer that way

leksmedia:
Aaaaaaw sorry bro , I pray she comes back or someone finds her .

There are two possible options
1. Either it was stolen
2. It got lost

If it was stolen ask people around your area if they see your dog run out or if a car drove in while u were away or did it follow anyone .
If it got lost ask people close to the road if anyone found a dog .
Do you walk her ? If yes it might be easy to trace back her steps if no it will be a little bit hard cos dogs on the road hardly leave a track while running

I beg do disagree with you here gsd are known for there intelligent and agility I doubt if the dog got lost k9's are too smart to get lost easily my grandmother's akuke in our village on its own has being to neighbouring village and back after some days severally my opinion here is that the dog has being stolen but stll pray for the best bro u just might get lucky

Cc kelsmic

Wow...Pmadise murphy is going to be a great stud when he grows up I swear look at the size of his paws I can see u are really taking care of this puppy well

Nice write up op mind you parvo virus has exactly the same symptoms with salmon poisoning so many people normally mistake salmon for parvo and vise varsa I have seen cases where even inexperienced vets mistake salmon poisoning for parvo virus and gave the puppy wrong medications we just have to be very careful and cautious to really understand the symptoms we see on our pets no doubt parvo is on the rise this season sadly I have two friends that lost there pet to parvo virus so sad they neva noticed it on time we all just have to be very carefull

Google breeding den chk ur statement again.....u are a dog owner doesn't make u a breeder, difference bro.....and breeding has different aspects.....careful selection of parents used in mating, selection of particular parents wt features u wld want to see in the puppies or offsprings. ...Being an animal scientist makes me know the difference and yet I can't call myself a breeder.......what has breeding got to do wt Providing shelter, water and whatever u listed......I have only seen few people I can refer to as breeders here...they select their studs based on specific details and follow thru on what they want.....so take note and be corrected
