Wat about one a day cause na two gsd I get o.

Bro i don't think one 300mg capsule will be sufficient for a gsd per day o

The truth is that the content of the one i got is 300mg per capsule to it lools kinda "small" while their is a bigger capsule which is 1000mg per capsule with will do just fine if administered one everyday, I'll be getting the 1000mg capsule once this current one finishes

I suggest you get the 1000mg so you will be giving it to your two gsd one capsule a day

Buh blike say dah 1 go cost pass d 1 i bn buy o, I no juz knw bro

Thank you for your condolences...I tell you it was so hard....
Losing a pet is like losing a loved one...that thing hurts to the core....
When you really love someone or something...and you lose it....I tell you.....no words to express the pain.
He was Simba "The Triumphant Lion"....cause he looked like a miniature lion ( and of course named after The Lion King).
Your dogs look really healthy and happy.....you clearly love them and I'm sure they know it.

I am moving around a bit for now...so I haven't gotten a dog just yet.
But I absolutely will get one when I settle down and can take care of it.
I don't know if I want a "toy" dog like Simba was...or a gentle giant like Murphy and Gustav.
I sometimes want a dog that I can hold....and if they weigh too much llke your dogs do....then I can't hold them in my arms or them sit in my lap...
I like the idea of having a guard dog (which would mean that the dog would need to be large)...but I really want to hold him (I know I want a boy)...cause that means so much to me.
But I just don't know.
Any suggestions?

P.S. I just saw that meat in the earlier pics above...and
Wow...I almost don't want to know what it is..
Your dogs really eat wild meat...wow!
That's amazing.

Good morning dear mobilia, Sorry for the late replies though I've been kinda busy lately

Sorry for simba's death one more time loosing a dog really hurts (only dog lovers would understand this though)

I see you really want to own a dog but maybe you don't have enough space/accomodation or something, so i advise you wait till you get a better free space then you can get yourself one probably a pup

You kinda confused on the breed you should get lol, there are various (large)breeds of dogs today to choose to just suit your lifestyle like the boerboels, German shepherds, pitbulls, dobermans (though kinda rare here in Nigeria) then St Bernards or Maybe bullmasiffs, I personally don't like Caucasians while some toy breeds commonly seen includes; Maltese, Samoyed, Lhasa apsos and maybe other terrier mix sold by some kennels.

You carrying a large breed dog will be good, I know it won't be a problem at all lol

OfficialEbiz:
Boss how do you administer it?

Just one in the morning and one in the evening

Mobilia:
How are you? Yes I think I need to re-read from the beginning. I just am so in love with dogs....once you look into those eyes....I tell you....it's all over for me. Their eyes speak to me like nothing else.
I love those names...very unique and befitting for your dogs.
Yes...Simba lived for 15 years!! Pomeranians have a life span between 14-18 years....on average. At full size, he only weighed 10 bs...so you can imagine that I was always holding him...until he wouldn't let me do it as he got older!
However, many don't make it that long.
We were extremely blessed....and he was such a faithful dog!
He lived in the house and ate a specific dog food brand....but we did give him a slice of whole wheat bread every day as a treat which he loved!
He actually got testicular cancer (which he had surgery for) and also developed cataracts in his eyes around 12 years of age.
He ended up having kidney failure (at 15 years)...and passed
I miss that dog so much....

Awch I'm sorry for simba's death loosing a dog is one of the most painful thing to ever happen to any dog lover

Though he must have made a very company to you people when he was alive

So do you look on to getting another dog/pet?

Someone told me to get cod liver as it helps promote the furs and builds a stronger body

Who else use this please??

Some yummy yummy fresh cow legs for the Easter haha

My mum be like: these boys just dy enjoy

01/04/018

Happy easter from Murphy and Gustaf, woke up to see my boys excited and feeling fresh probably celebrating the Easter too lol

Gustaf's coat is getting darker and darker day by day and the furs also growing back as they used to be... Wuoow...

Mobilia:
Beautiful looking dogs....
I can spot a German Shepherd a mile away.....
I am frightened by German Shepherds...but they are one of the most intelligent breeds out there. They are the U.S. Police force's dog of choice.
So what made you decide to get two dogs...?
If you already explained it in the thread, let me know and I'll go back and re-read.
I became a dog lover after my family purchased a 7 week old Pomeranian (who could fit in my hand) and which we had for 15 years.....and then he passed in 2013.
There is nothing like a dog....give it some food, love and care...and he/she is forever loyal...
Was the dog imported or how did you go about purchasing him?
Is he protective of the family and basically a guard-dog for you guys?
Do I just need to go back through the thread and read..lol?
I love the names Murphy and Gustav too...what's the story behind them?
Our dog's name was Simba.

Good morning, I explained everything in the first page but I'll all over again
Murphy was a gift from my aunt whom i assisted in selling her pups (Murphy's litter mates) so she rewarded me with a male pup and i named him "Murphy"

When i first got him, many people brought suggestions and opinions on how to raise him as well as the name to give him so i decided to choose Murphy lol

Gustaf on the other hand is a locally bred working line German shepherd (Nigeria) and not imported, I got his name from my favorite Brazilian player called "GUSTAVO"

So simba lived up to 15 years?? Wow that's nice to hear

I delay in updating the thread yea not because i don't feel like to but just that I've been kinda busy and occupied

Just got a little time this easter holiday

Gustaf has recovered and eating again, it's just the coat that is still taking time to grow back fully + i still feel some bony parts on his body

I'm so so happy and i just thank God .

I must confess.... Gustafson really have an excellent psychic. Kudos to you. The new pics added are giving me goose bumps, they are adorable, esp the one used on the dog page.
Pls try to research on how to "unlock" Gustaf's scent ability, to sniff out things, you never can tell when the skill will be useful to you. Regards to your canines

Thanks boss though there's something i forgot to add, I raised and trained Murphy from puppy stage and that training wasn't difficult to compare to what am currently facing with gustaf pertaining training

I trained Murphy to obey basic commands like; sit, stay, jump, shake, roll, attack, eat/don't eat lie down etc. I just started gustaf's training (sit and shake) before he fell sick, I personally wish to give gustaf the best training I'd give any dog because he's a working German shepherd and his ability/drive is kinda high

donshaize:
wow Gustaf got featured on working_dogs_in_the_world

Yup, Gustaf is a working line gsd

There's fire on the mountain o

Gustaf furs keep falling and that sable coat is gone completely o and this time he became really sick and lean)

Gustaf wouldn't eat anything except two fish heads, he became slow and no longer plays instead he lays down under the car and keeps sleeping from morning till night

I quickly looked for help so my friend Peterlee that stays in Ibadan, he's a gsd enthusiast told me what to do which includes: using grinded ginger to help restore the coat and good shampoo to bath him every week and he also prescribed some drugs i should buy for him

While on the other hand i called the vet to begin administering treatment to at least get him eat something

Gustaf at almost 7months old

I gradually began noticing something on gustaf, his furs were falling and i have no idea what the cause is but his black furs keep reducing everyday, well didn't bother much then sha

Gustaf relaxing and kimbo approaching from behind, all these boys want is to always be where I'm as they follow me to almost everywhere lol

After an evening walk we decided to rest, just me and gustaf, Murphy was on duty so he didn't come with us

A dog page saw gustaf's picture and love it then requested my permission to post the pic on their page, i granted the request √√

Sunday walk

We visited the woods on a Sunday afternoon, i felt taking pictures here would make sense so we took some shots

Sometimes i feel I'm missing out because in my town no one talkes about dog walk, dog shows nor any dog relate stuff

All they be telling me is how good my dogs look but well it's a nice compliment
(no one should ask me where i stay please)

February 14th

So everyone was talking about Valentine's day and how they'd make the day lively with their partners but a no no for me

I'm single, I've no girlfriend and one of the reasons is because most girls I've met would tell me how they don't like dogs/hate dogs so gradually I'd distant myself from them, I don't consider anybody that doesn't like dogs part of me because these dogs are my best friend and i so much love them. I know there are girls who love dogs out there but am yet to see one except my sisters lol

We rocked the Valentine's day well, i served them fish head, grinded soya beans, milk and awara (I prepared it well before serving)

I didn't come back on time so dinner got delayed, they were feeling hungry badly so i had to be fast in everything lol.. my sister made them golden morn and fish head that very night

@vincentjk
I actually thought Gustaf was the Boerboel.... Apologies.
I didn't even get a prompt for your mention I just decided to revise the thread and I saw your reply.
Emmmm, not sure I got the answer I wanted as to how to got hold of the situation. I learnt from a dog video, of a car owner the went into a supermarket with his dog in the car and all windows wind up. Thebdig was panting heavily, and passers by had to break the rear windshield. Then someone was continually pouring water on the muzzle to bring the dog to consciousness cos it's eyes was drifting off.
Please can you describe what transpired during the incident before the good Samaritan came buy, and what also happened, before you were offered the free ride? I want to learn one or two things from you, for future purpose

As soon as i realized the abnormality in his face i quickly looked for a nearby shop to rest him then i used my p-cap to fan him so he could get enough breeze in other to make breathing possible

I did the fanning for up-to 30mins before the cab arrived and picked us up.. Are you clear bro??

@ Vincentjk
A very great thread you've got here, you really have called my attention to taking pictures of canines, as they advance in age. I love your canines, such a great recipe.
Please I have 2 questions for you...
1. If your Boerboel and GSD are to go into a friendly tug of War (say each of them stay at the end of a piece of strong rope), which 3ill win the combat?
2. When Gustaf fainted, can you describe how you felt them, how how you were able to rescue the situation? Also, was his belly moving to indicate any sign of breathing?
Once again, a great thread you have here, pls keep it running

@Jungpablo, Mckandre, and Rumenase... My ogas at the top, I sight you o. I dey hail o. Your boy loyal

Well, Murphy and Gustaf are two strong dogs though they posses different tactics. Murphy is heavy/gallant so he can't easily be flinged away while gustaf is a very athletic dog that can run around without easily getting tired

1. So to answer your question Murphy WILL defeat gustaf if they should try out thug of war and that's because gustaf is just 7months, maybe by next year when gustaf should be 1year+ i think there'll be a better competition

2. It was Murphy (boerboel) that fainted not gustaf. I was able to handle the situation with the help of a man (dog lover) who gave us a space at his shop and also looked for a way of taking us home which I'm thankful of.

He was breathing heavily while lying down, his skin turned red, his mouth became dry while the face got swollen, these signs made it obvious to be drug reaction with the assurance i got from the man i calmed down and took my dog home

Thanks for your remark

Breakfast is ready and the boys can't keep calm

At 6months gustaf had grown grown tall and gradually getting taller than Murphy though Murphy is natural short, Gustaf has really changed in coat, height and size as he keeps growing and am just happy

Murphy didn't eat anything that night because of stress, the next morning i woke up, followed the back door to go check on Murphy

I didn't see him where he usually stays, I was still looking for him when he ran dashed out from one corner jumping on me in excitement ,Murphy knows i do take good care of him anytime he's ill and i know he loves me for that. Sometimes he'd want to say "thank you boss for taking care of me but the words wouldn't come out"... I understand though

Mum told me to give him something oily so i served him nice egusi soup and semo

I noticed a sore on Murphy's face which tends to grow everyday, the condition was so bad that i bought some antibiotics tablets and gave him as prescribed but yet the sore wasn't ready to dry

Though out of my experience with dogs i already noticed it to be "mange" so i quickly took it to the vet's place to carry out some treatment since I have no injectable powerful antibiotics to use

After the vet had given the treatment (antibiotics, deworm and other injectable liquids) we set of for home.


We were still on our way home when i noticed a change in Murphy's body, his skin was turning to red colour while his mouth became dry so i had to look for a place to rest him away from the hot sun that made the atmosphere very hot that afternoon

To my surprise Murphy suddenly got tired, Layed down and fainted OMG , I thought my dog would die or something more serious had happened to him but thanks goodness nothing happened except that the drug reaction was so serious + the hot weather

A man ( possibly a dog lover ) assisted in dropping us home and i was very thankful to him... Good people really exist
