Great Job

Thanks Gadgetmobil

Thanks man cos I saw the need to share this because of that guy that was begging for help with his rott puppy suffering from parvo.
most people don't know dogs should be treated properly during their formative years.

OP cook the monitor lizard for her na.

let her be rewarded for it.
next time, housefly sef no go buzz your house side

2 Stock up on the right supplies.
Buy some of the basics ahead of time, so you both and your dog can settle in without too many mad dashes to the store. Here’s what you’ll need:
*Dog food(Puppy own initially)
*Warm Clothes (Come on issa baby, e needs to be kept warm)
*Clean water
*Dog drugs
*Dog Toys VERY IMPORTANT helps to busy the k9 if you are absent.

3. Prepare your house.
This requires a little more work if you’re getting a puppy, since they can be champion chewers and have a knack for getting into things they shouldn’t. But no matter what your dog’s age, you’ll want to do some organizing ahead of time.

Create a temporary, gated-off living space for your dog or pup, where she can’t damage your belongings or eat something that will make her sick. She’ll stay in this area whenever you’re not with her to prevent her from having house training accidents.
Pick a room that’s a center of activity in your household, so your dog won’t feel isolated, and be sure it’s one with easy-to-clean floors. The kitchen is often a good choice; you can block it off with baby gates if needed. Make sure you remove anything that you don’t want chewed on or soiled.
What’s in your dog’s area will vary a bit depending on her age and how you’re house training.
Puppy-proof to make sure anything that could hurt your dog–medicines, chemicals, certain plants–is out of reach.

4. Arrange for home care.
Ideally, you can take a few days to a week off work to get your new dog or puppy settled in and to start house training. It’ll also help the two of you bond, which in itself can make training easier. But even if you can take some time off, you’ll need a back-up team in place pretty quickly. I'm very sure Nigerian kennels should provide such services.



5. Find a good school.
Group obedience classes are great for bonding with your new dog and for learning how to communicate with and train your dog. They’re especially recommended for young puppies, since they give pups a chance to get comfortable being around other canines and people–a key part of raising a safe, friendly dog.
Dog training is unregulated, and pretty much anyone can call herself a dog trainer, so you’ll want to do a little research to make sure you’ve found the right class and teacher.

6. Plan the trip home.
Find a helper to come along when you go to pick up your dog. Young puppies who’ve never been on a car ride before may get rattled, and even adult dogs can get nervous–and a terror-filled car ride can turn into a long-lasting phobia of car travel. Ask someone to sit next to your dog on the ride home, soothing him and keeping him from hopping into your lap while you’re driving.
If your dog’s used to a crate, you can stash him in the crate for the ride home. Just make sure it’s secured; sliding around the backseat will make the drive more stressful.


PART TWO.
Once your dog is home,

1. Keep it pleasant but low-key at first.
For a shy puppy or dog, being taken to a new place and then deluged with lots of loud, lively strangers can be really overwhelming. The first day or two, keep the mood mellow and calm.

2. Introduce your dog to his crate.
Crates are the best way to house train, but most dogs need a little time to warm up to them. This isn’t hard to do; you just need to know how to introduce your dog or pup to his crate.

3. Start your training.
The earlier you start, the faster and easier it will be to teach good manners and the better the lessons will stick. Remember, There are no bad dogs just bad owners.
Watch tutorials, Buy books socialize with experienced dog handlers.

4. Set up a routine.
A routine helps with house training and is reassuring to your dog. Figure out a schedule for walks, meals, bathroom breaks, and exercise,–and try to stick to it.

5. Get your dog license.
It’s a legal requirement, and your dog’s tag will be used to get him back to you if he ever gets loose. You may also want to get your dog microchipped for extra insurance. Check with your local animal care and control to find out how to get your dog licensed; you may be able to apply online.

6. Find a vet.
It’s especially important for a puppy’s first vet visit to be a pleasant experience so that your dog he learns to take trips to the vet in stride. Ask around for referrals, and schedule your first appointment. Your dog will need a check-up and possibly some vaccinations.
Bottom line: Your dog’s first few weeks home will likely be a period of huge adjustment, for both of you. You can make the transition much easier all around if you prepare your home in advance, gather a team–vets, dog walkers, and doggie day care–and set up a routine right away.

The first week you and your new dog spend together is exhilarating, certainly, but it’s also likely to be unnerving
Before your new dog arrives:
1. Have a family socialization about the incoming puppy.
A dog is a big commitment, so before you take the plunge, make sure you’re all together on wanting this newest member of the family. Then decide who’s going to be the primary caretaker–otherwise you’ll spend lots of time arguing while your new dog stares at his empty food bowl. To avoid confusing the pup, hammer out the house rules ahead of time (will the dog be allowed on the bed? On the couch? Where will the dog sleep? Are any rooms of the house permanently off-limits?.

Namdeenero:
I'll keep it in mind bro

Namaste brother!

Namdeenero:

Jesuu this no be here. mckandre thumbs up OP. your ekuke-gsd is fulfilling it's role finally.

Greene66:
Line-breeding involves mating a female on heat using the either the Grand-Father or (maybe) Father as stud. Or using a male as stud to mate his Grand-mother or (maybe) mother on heat.

Most breeders who do this usually have a specific trait at which they wish to keep. Take for example, your pack, is a pack of working-line dogs. Dogs with the balance, height, fitness and agility for work including the drive. To preserve this trait, you may line-breed to keep the bloodline to future generations including the gene and traits.

Like I mentioned before, if you have no specific thing you wish to keep you don't need to line breed. If you wish to keep general traits, you can get a stud with same trait. But if you have something unique that is rare to find but only within the pack, then line-breeding is an option.

In-breeding is a NO NO.

Wow, OK.
Nigerians do this alot instead of spending money on hetero stud

it has pros and cons sha.
OP I wasn't interested in your litter in the offset but I wanted to poke around.
Nice litter you have, but quite small for a medium sized dog.
how old is she?
She in good health?
Breed history (family history)?


finally do a diary on her and the puppies.

is that the parent at the back??��

Babatunde360:
Dude am not the op, am just tired of people saying nonsense about things they don't know and people saying nonsense about the percentage of a dog's purity

Babatunde360 I sincerely apologize

BTW your dog looks more like a Spitz type dog.

the gsd blood (if any) is too diluted.

did you buy this dog from a reputable breeder?
or issa gift (like the puppy you WILL give me;-D ;-D ;-D ;-D ;-D ;-D ;-)

MaxkidOFFICIAL:
I just check again today and it's 3females 1 male
I'm keeping the male and a female

ayeee!!
I see what you did there OP.
:-D :-D :-D
That's fine. I'm OK.

as for rumenase and greene66
I understand now, thanks for the enlightenment.

the gsd isn't pure. half gsd maybe half mongrel or terrier

plus puppies that have more gsc/cauc than the mong DNA

Inbreeding is bad and should not be encouraged.

Expantiate more on "Line breeding" Greene66

Greene66:
This is wrong!!!! Irresponsible breeding.

Oga it's not. Two different breeds. Do you know what heterozygous crossing means?

oluomoadebayo:
So hunting dogs are not considered as a working dog?

They are.
I'm emphasizing the fact that they are phased out almost completely.

Types of Working Dogs
Turnspit dogs were used as a source of power, they turned a treadmill connected to a roasting spit. Similar arrangements were used for household duties such as churning butter.
Dogs were used as draught animals to pull small carts for farms, peddlers, or travellers (milk, fish, rags & bones, meat, bread, and other products), to deliver mail, and to pull carts carrying people for transportation or entertainment. They were used in World War I to pull small field guns. Dogs in harness sometimes had guard dogs to protect them from stray dogs. [3] In 1839, a ban on draught dogs in London and a later ban on all draught dogs and a tax on other working dogs caused the deaths of over 150,000 dogs, who were replaced in their work by children and adults. [4]
Service or assistance dogs help people with various disabilities in every day tasks. Some examples include
mobility assistance dogs for the physically handicapped, guide dogs for the visually impaired, and hearing dogs for the hearing impaired.
Therapy dogs visit people who are incapacitated or prevented in some way from having freedom of movement; these dogs provide cheer and entertainment for the elderly in retirement facilities, the ill and injured in hospitals, and so on. The very act of training dogs can also act as a therapy for human handlers, as in a prisoner rehabilitation project.
Rescue dogs assist people who are in difficult situations, such as in the water after a boat disaster, lost in the wilderness, escaped from nursing homes, covered in snow avalanches, buried under collapsed buildings, etc.
Herding dogs are still invaluable to sheep and cattle handlers (stockmen ) around the world for mustering; different breeds are used for the different jobs involved in stock work and for guarding the flocks and herds. Modern herding dogs help to control cattle and wild geese in parks or goats used for weed control. A well trained dog can adapt to control any sort of domestic and many wild animals.
Sled dogs , although today primarily used in sporting events, still can assist in transporting people and supplies in rugged, snowy terrain.
Performing dogs such as Circus dogs and dog actors are trained to perform acts that are not intrinsically useful, but instead provide entertainment to their audience or enable human artistic performances.
Hunting dogs assist hunters in finding, tracking, and retrieving game, or in routing vermin. For larger game animals such as wild boar or bears, dogs may be trained to either hold the prey at bay until the hunter arrives, or to directly attack and hold them.
Guard dogs and watch dogs help to protect private or public property, either in living or used for patrols, as in the military and with security firms.
Tracking dogs help find lost people and animals or track down possible criminals.
Cadaver dog or Human Remains Detection Dogs use their scenting ability to discover bodies or human remains at the scenes of disasters, crimes, accidents, or suicides.
Detection dogs of a wide variety help to detect termites and bedbugs in homes, illegal substances in luggage, bombs, chemicals, and many other substances.
War Dogs or K9 Corps are used by armed forces in many of the same roles as civilian working dogs, but in a military context. In addition, specialized military tasks such as mine detection or wire laying have been assigned to dogs.
Military Working Dog is the more formal, current term for dogs trained for use in military tasks.
Police dogs , also sometimes called K9 Units, are usually trained to track or immobilize possible criminals while assisting officers in making arrests or investigating the scene of a crime. Some are even specially trained for anti-terrorist units, as in Austria.
Dogs are sometimes used in programs to assist children in learning how to read. The Reading With Rover program in
Washington pairs trained dogs with children who read aloud to the dog. This process builds confidence and reduces stress. [5]

oluomoadebayo:
What is a working dog?

A working dog is a canine working animal, i.e., a type of dog that is not merely a pet but learns and performs tasks to assist and/or entertain its human companions, or a breed of such origin.

MaxkidOFFICIAL:
Lol buh dem no plenty oo .. just 4 ..
I gave the owner of the male dog 1 puppy as agreed .. I'm keeping 2 .. so I'm left with 1 to sell..
They are 2 males and 2 females

Keep a male na biko so you can mate with the mum[if possible]

I be your guy na

oluomoadebayo:
Most of our dogs are used are used for hunting, isn't that a working dog? Afterwards, we have Nigeria Dwarf Goat which is the best producer of goat milk.

Are you a hunter? Is the next guy a hunter, Am i a hunter?
NO! That hunting dog phase has sizzled out. The only reasonable thing we can agree on is that they are excellent ratters[Rat catchers] which can be harnessed into the average nigerian household.
But then do we have a National Kennel Club to protect our Beloved Ekuke!
NO! Again!

My bros bros!!!! I hail oh. me sef dey interested too. For adoption ni ohhh

Are you planning on selling them out?

Khaynet:
We Have the Ever gallant Ekuke/Bingo

What more can you ask for

Recognized by who?

we don't even have a Kennel Club.

that's really sad.

our so-called ekuke is claimed to be intelligent to human extent ba?
why can't it be trained to be a working dog?

Yesterday, I and a few friends were at a buka so we started discussing dogs, you know. weird seeing Young men do that but we were already infected with Cynophilia
So apparently we discussed on how World powers have several dog breeds originating from them
African countries too struggle to develop or at least preserve their landraces.
For example
SOUTH AFRICA
*Boerbull.
*Rhodesian Ridgeback
CONGO
*Basenji
NIGER REPUBLIC
*Azawakh hound
MOROCCO
*Sloughi
NIGERIA


So the big question arises... WHY DOESN'T NIGERIA HAVE A NATIONAL DOG?

Please help with useful information.

as here is the noble creature

Okay, guys good day.
I was strolling through the estate and saw some slender greyhoundish type of dogs with some aboki guys
I was wondering how they got it cos these dogs were different from the normal ekuke we see. Then I had to conduct some local survey for me to find out the dogs were called AZAWAKHS.

Then I have to share the info with you all.


AZAWAKH HOUNDS

The Azawakh is a sighthound livestock guardian breed of dog from West Africa. It is also used as a hunting dog , though relegated to a secondary function due to the lack of game in the region. With ancient origins, it is raised throughout the Sahelian zone of Mali, Niger , and
Burkina Faso . This region includes the
Azawagh Valley for which the breed is named. While commonly associated with the nomadic Tuareg people, they are also bred and owned by other ethnic groups such as the Peulh , Bella , and
Hausa . The Azawakh is more related to the Sloughi than it is to the Saluki
