Yup, though ever since Murphy's demise gustaf has not been as he used to be. So sad.


Ouch!!
I feel for him,
He's passing through emotional trauma.
He will be fine, he needs a company cos he grew up seeing a company.

Yeah i think so but in few months time he'll have a partner again

MrrKay:

Yes I've, I've made up my mind to go for a boerboel, a pedigree this time. What do you think?

For the fact you know what you want tho.
I do support that!!
It'll be a good company to Gustav.
An agile Gustav
And an action to be named BB.

I will continue to commend you guys.
Have spoken with both of you and your manner is second to none.

IamAnderson trust Roscoe Boy is doing great.

Vincentjk trust Gustav is doing great.
Have u finally settled with a breed to get?

You can inspect it physically if you wish to.

Female was brought in as a Pup from Berlin, Germany.

Pedigree refers to the recorded purity of breed of an individual or strain more like an ancestral line.

Her parents are pure-bred. She's three years old now and her first litter.

She was sired by a Pure-bred active male n Lagos before I moved to Abuja.

Thanks.

You don't have to define what a pedigree is to me, you called the pups pedigree which is wrong. I'm not against your pups as i wouldn't mine seeing anyone buying either but you misused that word

You mean to tell me that a gsd with socks is pedigree? Sorry for derailing your thread.

adisabarber:
Feed your puppies well

Who told you they're not well fed

Who told you they are pedigrees?

I'm a stammerer but you barely notice it at first meeting, especially if I'm talking to a girl. But as time goes on people tend to notice it in my speech

Tellemall:
I'll like to see. Everything dogs is welcome.

Breeding is delicate work. Much more than money and mating. Glad you've gotten to know that.

Hope people didn't come and beat you for the non-pedigree dogs?

Network is kinda poor here and i want to upload 3 pix

Will do that maybe later

IamAnderson:
yeah you can check out my thread

So you're the owner of Roscoe? Your dog really looks cool and neat and it made me laugh when you actually called him a model lol

There was a time i commented on your thread but couldn't recall the moniker sha. Nice boy you got

Tellemall:
Unfortunately I do not have ready pics on hand.

I used to work him. He learned to sit before he eats. By around 7 months he was pretty muscular and had developed an adult shape. Broad chest. Well defined muscles especially on his neck, chest and "biceps". The only giveaway was that he used to cry like a baby when I chained him. Initially I chained him to a table leg(trying to go easy on him and keep him close to the house) but had to shift him to the thatch because he broke the table leg(strength in mastiffs is amazing). But I did put effort into getting him into shape. Taking him to the kraal of a friend, play fighting and less food. I don't believe in feeding dogs like they are demigods. They are working animals. I simply give vaccines and let them be. I find it irritating that people follow dogs about, complaining that they eat things. They're dogs, what do you want them to do, walk on two legs and not eat dirty things? My dog was in love with the toilet bowl.

This guy you mentioned probably has enough leg room for his dog to run around and probably doesn't feed it so much. Did you observe the dog's environment? Does he release it to some place? Is he the only one who has contact with his dog?

Most people think owning dogs is just about them barking and eating and then displaying them to the public.

BTW, have you stopped breeding dogs?

Yes, I stopped breeding since 2016 when i got to understand that breeding isn't just about mating two dogs and for the money. we(my aunt and i) bred various non pedigree boerboels and sold to so many people and my dog Murphy is one of them. i can share few pictures of the ones i still have here, if you'll like to see them. Do you?

Tellemall:
I'm glad you're honest about it.

I kept my boerboel in such good shape you could see his muscles through his coat and he was feeding reasonable well, not overfed. His broad chest did not carry fat and when he walked if you were a thief you would fear. The lines on his body made him look powerful. For that reason I gave him a spiked collar, because he looked that badass.

This is why some breeds aren't for first time owners.

If you see a boerboel in South Africa you will know that what it looks like in Nigeria is a sham. The dogs weren't designed for show off, they were bred to live on farms and fight lions that strayed from the veldt, asseblief tog. I feel sickened and upset to see fat lousy boerboels. This breed in particular should look smart and bold. Here it's a competition of "mine is bigger than yours, I feed him crushed noodles and so so kilos of organs". Then you'll see the body so upsetting.

And it is due to feeding. People giving dogs eggs, removing bones, imagine that. Have you seen the jowls on Mastiffs? I gave mine bones from two months and there were hardly any bones he didn't like to crush and gnaw on in adulthood. The breed are designed to chew not to lap noodles.

I don't know why Nigerians are obsessed with them and they can't even keep them in good shape. Dogs are pets quite alright, but the pampering is sickening.

I agree with all you've said but some boerboels tend to develope muscles genetically whether worked or not, thereby making the owners lucky to have a ripped dog with tones of muscles without putting much effort aside feeding. I personally experienced this when i was a backyard breeder, sold a pup to a client in lagos and after many months to everyone's suprise, muscles formed and made the pup look fierce and the owner was finding it hard to convince me he didn't work his dog to archive that. I had to believe him because he doesn't seem to have enough time and space engage the dog in any training session.

Have you got any pic of the dog? Will like to see for myself

Tellemall:
Not really, no.

They're usually fat/lousy with poor coats though overfed. Their shapes never show. You'll see boerboels looking fat and lousy, no musculature. A dog that should look intimidating looking daft. Especially the boerboels.

I understand that it's a thing of prestige in Nigeria to own an imported breed, a competition to see how much the owners can spend on some unnecessary things and brag about that, but please you guys are abusing the dogs by making them fat and docile!

Keeping a breed like the boerboel in shape isn't easy at all, I tried it with mine but got tired and just fed my dog though he never grew overweight.

But there are fit dogs in Nigeria. Search Iwinosa boerboels, that man is doing wonders with the breed omg

IamAnderson:
oh yeah I guess he misspelled my monicker lol.
and your dogs are nice and solid

Thanks for the compliment sir. What about you, you got dog(s)?

MrrKay:
vincentjk

Now you got the one with handle. That's better

Thanks for the compliment. No pic of xena today?

Pardon me for no pic yet.
Lost my device, taking pic with d current phn is sucidal lol.
Buh i gotta update soon.

Meanwhile i sympathize with you (Death of Murphy)
Accept my condolence.

I saw something about immune booster and defender (to prevent Parvo Virus)
Can u enlighten me?

Unfortunately i don't know much about that supplement, maybe you should contact the guy that talked about it in the thread. He also dropped his number for those interesting in contacting him. But I've an optimistic impression about that supplement though.

About the leash, there was time i got a leash+collar. The leash comes together with the collar which you can see on both dogs(The boerboel has the collar on while i used the leash to tie the gsd). As you can see, the both dogs are happy because they're comfortable on soft gears. I got the designer leash+collar for N5,500 and that was few years ago, I believe it should cost more than that now

Iamanderson he's giving credit to you for the help (you misspelt the moniker)

Roger that!!
Finally after many consideration i got XENA chain walking leash.
Pic below, pardon my poor pic

Your training to Murphey and Gustav is inspiring.
Thumbs up.

Now you got the one with handle. That's better

Thanks for the compliment. No pic of xena today?

MrrKay:
JUST AT HOME TODAY WITH XENA.
SHE'S VERY EXCITED!
FULL OF ENERGY.

BUH I SENSE ALIL LOSS OF APETITE.

NOW I WANT TO GET HER A LEASH/WALKING CHAIN.

DON'T KNOW THE ONE TO GO FOR.

I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.
IAMANDERSO AND VINCENTJK.
THANKS

lolipopandy:
how's Gustav

He's kinda sick, not much serious sha

It's rainy season again and we all know that flies tend to attack our dogs especially on the ears during this season. Am neither surprised nor worried about it rather I've been ready with all the necessary things to get rid of them thereby giving Gustaf a happy life as he deserves.

Also noticed he's been kinda down since last week, not very active as he used to be not to talk of the loss of appetite

Will be calling my vet today to come see what he can do to make things better, ticks caused the brief illness so it's nothing serious to worry about. I gave him a tick bath so I can say he's tick-free now.

Nice pup you got

Not bad for that price

Op I personally think you're wrong, if yiu need a good gsd and have the money as you portray then talk to Peragsd

He got what you want here on NL

MrrKay:
NOTED BRO
I'LL DO THAT ASAP.
I'M REALLY IMPRESSED,
ATLEAST MY MONEY IS NOT ON THE WASTE SIDE.

BUT PLEASE RATE THE PEDIGREE %.
I HOPE SAY NA PURE.
IF NOT, I STILL NEED TO KNOW.

You've got a good looking pup but it isn't a pedigree, stop using that word in modifying your dog else someone might pick offense in it and begin asking you questions which you have no answers to

Nice dog you got bro

IamAnderson:
yeah I agree with you to an extent, their are kennel chains and chains meant for walking.
the chains meant for walking have a well padded handle at the end you can hold while the other sides are made of chain, that's the type you should use to walk your dog.

he's using kennel chain tho, which is wrong.

Exactly my point, yes we've chains meant for walks or leashes/collars with chains on them (I've one at home)

But he's using a tie out chain in walking his dog which isn't a good thing to do. For me.

IamAnderson:
I actually meant the combination of dry,wet and raw food, just dog food in general.
you're actually advised to mix dry and wet together.

Ok, yeah i agree

IamAnderson:
why do you say so?

1. A chain once gave a serious wound when it pulled

2. A leash looks more decent than a chain

3. They're actually called kennel tie out chain and walking leash

newsynews:
@bold

The pup has only spent a week with me. Last Sunday made it a week since I bought her.

Wow that's impressive

I'm following...

IamAnderson:
yes this is exactly what I was trying to say, dry food is actually a very good feed for dogs and it's more nutritious than home cooked meals.
still a dog can survive on home cooked meals and still grow well.
it all depends on your choice but the fact is dry food is still superior.
raw feeding is also very good too but you can't feed raw food alone.
it all depends on your choice

I don't think I agree with that, dry food isn't superior to wet/raw food

I know many people on Instagram and Facebook groups who do raw and wet feeds, their dogs have the healthiest and shiniest coat. All that is needed is just for the raw food or meat to be well treated

Your dog looks tall for her age which shows a sign of good growth

Keep up the good work bro

Get a leash and use it to walk her, walking a dog on chains isn't really advisable

Op your dog really looks good and i can see the transformation already within 2weeks+ of purchase. Keep it up.

Pertaining the feeding, I think you're doing a pretty good job in her already but some of the things Iamanderson said is also correct. Not everyone likes feeding their dog kibbles, I've only used dry feed once and didn't buy it again based on "choice". I believe raw feeding is the best to raise a boerboel pup to look good but I know of NGKD Bob, a boerboel raised on purely dried food whom scored about 84% during the appraisal making him break a record in Nigeria. So in a nutshell I'd advice anyone to go for what they think will be best for their dogs, after all we all buy them with our own money


Once again, a nice pup you got there, I'm following...

I don't like acura motors

Don't know why

Literally the cleaner did this to the UK oversabi woman
