I am blessed with 3 companions, a 17month doberman, a 4month CO, and a 3month GSD all male.

The Doberman is a mix and this has never bothered me because I have no intentions of mating him,. Recently, I caught him humping the GSD and it occurred to me he may never have the opportunity of siring pups unless it has an adverse effect on his health. I know females are prone to cancer when they are not crossed but I have no idea if the Male has any health issues if they are not mated. Checked Google but it kept throwing me in circles.

So I'm throwing it open to the vets and gurus here; is there any known health concern associated with not mating a male dog? I'm also not sure if I'ld be mating the others when they are matured enough.

Well, I've never cared about pedigree so that doesn't count to me. This is good stuff, top quality just (obviously) not well cared for. Hopefully she finds a better home

Love God through Christ His Son first. Then you can truly love yourself first before you can then love other human being like you as yourself, and then you can love all other works of God like dog, cat, etc. But if you don't love God first through His Son Christ Jesus, then you truly hates yourself ( or own soul) still and if a man hates himself ( though he deceives himself thinking he loves himself), how can he love another man or other human beings like himself talk less of other works of God like dog and cat. But if anyone comes into the true faith in God through Christ His Son, then he will gain understanding of life and the essence of all things that God created, and he will be able or enabled to see and relate with each one as God intended and desired, even snake and scorpion. Dogs are meant to be one of the best animal friend of man, to be feed and cared for by you the owner, to wag its tail, bark on intruders or strangers to let you know a stranger is around, to follow you to walk, to dance, play ball and hunt animals, etc. The horse is like jeep that carry you quick on not too far away journey, the donkey is like tipper lorry that brings your goods from farm, the Carmel is like trailer or train that carries you and your goods over long journeys and the cat chases rats from your house and kills and eats them. All animals serve human beings the purposes God intended. God created them all for our use in one way or another, before he created us. But if you do not know nor believe in God who created us and them, how then will know the house animals or pets talk less of relating right with them, then you can not understand the purposes of all that God created and you will start to make many of his creation your enemies. And a man who has not know God through Christ has not and cannot know himself talk less of knowing any other work of God or its purpose having not known the purpose of his own life
Thank you.

I'm not understanding sir. Just how is this related?

gadafi101:
I think it would be best to state ur working budget, that way ppl will respond.

Budget is open. I'm guided though.

57 views and no one is talking... Okay o

I've decided that the best Christmas gift I can give myself is A minimum of 2 month old (can be older) male top quality WORKING LINE GSD. (NO SLANTS BIKO!!!) I want a dog like Robby or Shadow (just for emphasis) and likes.

So if anyone has or knows anyone who has, kindly put up their pictures and contact and I'll reach you so we can discuss. Locally bred but pure blood line (I don't really care about pedigree) desired.

Preferred location is Lagos; I'd love to interact with him in his original home first.

P. S. I'm not planning to break a bank so "rippers" beware. Kindly be prepared to answer tons of questions too.

Thanks

i think dogs like to be pet on the head.if you dont pet my mums dog on her head he will stick the its head between ur laps till you do.

Is it a Doberman? So clingy thugs

Vessi:


LOL. Except what? And you said something about cheaper alternatives of feeding, please can you elaborate that? It'll go a long way in helping other dog owners to feed their dogs in this recession, many dogs are selective eaters but you wouldn't know how many of them own dogs as yours that eat cheaper alternatives. Please enlighten us.

ME? Enlighten us? Me I dunno anything o.
There are several threads on here that teaches or advertises cheaper feeding alternatives and all I know is courtesy NL.

It's your dog, so it's what you say it is. But from the picture (with all due respect) your vet is either a liar or a fraud.
It's a good pup, maybe worth the price, but PEDIGREE is... well, *zips mouth *. It's not my dog.

Vessi:

Lol, he is a big boy now oh. I love the even shiny-black coat of your Rott, looks so cute I wanna stroke him. Lol. You have beautiful dogs.

Thanks. Oh, that's actually a Doberman (though with about 30% Rott in him, both parents are Dobies though, but I really didn't care about how pure or not they were, not planning to mate him - except.... )

Vessi:


Really? How much do you spend on a monthly average for his feed? Can I see his recent pics now? Caucs are really big, and cute as well. Intimidating dogs are cane corsos, boerboels, napolean mastiffs.

LOL.
I have no idea how much o, I just know they get me broke. Lol.
Attached is his picture as of this evening. Hard to get him to stay at a spot

Vessi:

Your pup at 11weeks is really big. I think he feeds well, well, Caucs are destined for big size. When he attains his limit, you go spend much to feed him!

Thanks for your kind thoughts, he's even bigger now that he's fully recovered, he's 14wks now.
LOL about the feeding. There are cheaper alternatives sir.

Largas:


Thank you. It was not necessary to laugh at my ignorance tho', google just keeps taking me round and round.

My bad! Believe me, no intentions to be rude. And I didn't find it ignorant, I just thought it was easier to Google and check old post on here to have a balance of all info.
It only sounded funny to me cos it felt like going to the house of death and asking "if there was bones" when you could just ask for head or femur.

Again, I'm sorry, no rudeness intended.

Bros, na wah o, it's Christmas, the season of giving without expecting to receive. So give me one, God bless you as you give.
LOL *finds a hiding*

EmmanuelLee:
Been spending 50 percent of my time in this section , the pet urge those overtook me again ,, missed dogs,, had a dog way back local dog, it was 8-9 years...... I wanna start again but i dont know how ready i should be

NOW LEMME COME AND BRAG LIKE I KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT DOGS. *FORMING DOG WHISPERER*


So you've had a dog and you understand somethings already, nice. They say the first thing is asking why you need a dog.

So, WHY DO YOU NEED A DOG?

Nothing really can state how ready or prepared you are or can be when it comes to owning dog(s). You're either ready or not and when you are, you'd definitely know.

But before you take on this commitment, (oh yea, it's a big one for that matter - I guess you plan to own the foreign breeds), ask yourself if you're ready to give the dog what she needs. Taking care of a dog goes beyond feeding or sheltering, it in simple English requires DEEP LOVING and I'm darn sure you know love is equal to or greater than MAKING SACRIFICES of your time, money, convenience, sleep, party, travelling, space.

Once that is answered, then research the breed that suits you, your lifestyle, your temperament and your pocket. Then love and cherish him. Then find a good vet and make him your second best friend. The last thing is to keep up with the research. Read and ask questions to know.

I wish you the best.

LOL, this is what I read somewhere like that.

My 2 cents, start with the local dog, it prepares you 50% for the foreign breed. You can then get any of the small breeds after a while, say 4-5months.
But,hey, it's completely your choice

Wow, lot of questions....
Do you know enough about the dam, if yes, how is her temperament, how is her health (I mean, how resistant or susceptible is she)
Yeah, how is the aggression level? (A crautweiler - àbí what's the mix called? Should be hyper aggressive
How protective is she, and finally, how old is she in this pic?
How demanding is her grooming, and how much of a ram (stubborn goats that Caucasians are) is she?
The sire too nko, what breed is he?

I may be very very interested, I may be picking a male. It all depends on your answers sir.
Also which part of Lagos... Hopefully pick up will be convenient.

LMAOOOOOOOOO. Just Google (Daz all) and you can actually read through the ghost archives on here, that should give you the balance

Must be a cat. Take him to the vet

I want him, let's talk by the end of the month. My boys have chop my salary finish. WhatsApp?

Thanks to everyone who showed concern and gave some help, y'all appreciated.
The boy is recovering quickly, anemia gone, hookworm gone, poo brown, strength 70%, hyperactiveness 50%, appetite 60%.
Yesterday 19th was his third month anniversary and I'm so thankful he's doing fine.

LMAOOOOOOOOO

Mrjo:
Abeg carry that wahala go. @ that age/size is hard to control as a new owner

LOL, no any age and size of dog can be controlled.

Thanks. I do all that, and as young as he is, I take him for little walks. The problem is how to get him to eat now that he's sick. The last he ate was yesterday evening.

Chai, why now? Wish I ain't broke

Thanks sir, you've been very helpful. He's better than he was in the morning now. He ate a tiny dish of rice and smoked (he prefers smoked) fish and went out to take a dump. Here's the first poo since he left the clinic in the morning. Slightly brownish, unlike earlier when it was black.

Fingers crossed, please help pray for him.
