Mehn I like what am seeing gun.....any kingshepherd in Lagos?

My pup was down with parvo on Sunday.....we are still on the course of recovery. She stopped eating on Sunday and started vomiting b4 evening she started foaming. I took her to the vet immediately because I knew diarrhea would start sonnest. Now I don't know what your vet have been administering to your dog, but mine got a tablet forced down her throat and another liquid one forced down also, then she took an injection around her buttocks area. Parvo doesn't have a cure as I know, they just contain the disease and boost up the dogs immune system to fight back. So those medications where: to stop the vomiting / boost immune and appetite to take something, the later was to stop any form of diarrhea. Believe me your dog won't taste anything till she is through with all this, in the situation where she doesn't take water you have to force her with a syringe Or drip, your vet should know better. Mine just started eating a little yesternight after 3days medication non stop. She is as lean as a broom, and she only eats fries like chicken nothing else every other meal pisses her up, so gently the appetites come back till she is good again.

those gallant rot don go far... .best thing is to water mark your pics

Op what happened to the dog eventually

Size, Proportion, Substance: The desired height for males at the top of the highest point of the shoulder blade is 24 to 26 inches; and for bitches, 22 to 24 inches. The German Shepherd Dog is longer than tall, with the most desirable proportion as 10 to 81⁄2. The length is measured from the point of the prosternum or breastbone to the rear edge of the pelvis, the ischial tuberosity. The desirable long proportion is not derived from a long back, but from overall length with relation to height, which is achieved by length of forequarter and length of withers and hindquarter, viewed from the side.

Head: The head is noble, cleanly chiseled, strong without coarseness, but above all not fine, and in proportion to the body. The expression keen, intelligent and composed. Eyes of medium size, almond shaped, set a little obliquely and not protruding. The color is as dark as possible. Ears are moderately pointed, in proportion to the skull, open toward the front, and carried erect when at attention, the ideal carriage being one in which the center lines of the ears, viewed from the front, are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. A dog with cropped or hanging ears must be disqualified. Seen from the front the forehead is only moderately arched, and the skull slopes into the long, wedge-shaped muzzle without abrupt stop. The muzzle is long and strong, and its topline is parallel to the topline of the skull. Nose black. A dog with a nose that is not predominantly black must be disqualified. The lips are firmly fitted. Jaws are strongly developed. Teeth - 42 in number - 20 upper and 22 lower - are strongly developed and meet in ascissors bite in which part of the inner surface of the upper incisors meet and engage part of the outer surface of the lower incisors. An overshot jaw or a level bite is undesirable. An undershot jaw is a disqualifying fault. Complete dentition is to be preferred. Any missing teeth other than first premolars is a serious fault.

Neck, Topline, Body: The neck is strong and muscular, clean-cut and relatively long, proportionate in size to the head and without loose folds of skin. When the dog is at attention or excited, the head is raised and the neck carried high; otherwise typical carriage of the head is forward rather than up and but little higher than the top of the shoulders, particularly in motion. Topline - The withers are higher than and sloping into the level back. The back is straight, very strongly developed without sag or roach, and relatively short. The whole structure of the body gives an impression of depth and solidity without bulkiness. Chest - Commencing at the prosternum, it is well filled and carried well down between the legs. It is deep and capacious, never shallow, with ample room for lungs and heart, carried well forward, with the prosternum showing ahead of the shoulder in profile. Ribs well sprung and long, neither barrel-shaped nor too flat, and carried down to a sternum which reaches to the elbows. Correct ribbing allows the elbows to move back freely when the dog is at a trot. Too round causes interference and throws the elbows out; too flat or short causes pinched elbows. Ribbing is carried well back so that the loin is relatively short. Abdomen firmly held and not paunchy. The bottom line is only moderately tucked up in the loin. Loin Viewed from the top, broad and strong. Undue length between the last rib and the thigh, when viewed from the side, is undesirable. Croup long and gradually sloping. Tail bushy, with the last vertebra extended at least to the hock joint. It is set smoothly into the croup and low rather than high. At rest, the tail hangs in a slight curve like a saber. A slight hook- sometimes carried to one side-is faulty only to the extent that it mars general appearance. When the dog is excited or in motion, the curve is accentuated and the tail raised, but it should never be curled forward beyond a vertical line. Tails too short, or with clumpy ends due to ankylosis, are serious faults. A dog with a docked tail must be disqualified.

Forequarters: The shoulder blades are long and obliquely angled, laid on flat and not placed forward. The upper arm joins the shoulder blade at about a right angle. Both the upper arm and the shoulder blade are well muscled. The forelegs, viewed from all sides, are straight and the bone oval rather than round. The pasterns are strong and springy and angulated at approximately a 25-degree angle from the vertical. Dewclaws on the forelegs may be removed, but are normally left on. The feet are short, compact with toes well arched, pads thick and firm, nails short and dark.

Hindquarters: The whole assembly of the thigh, viewed from the side, is broad, with both upper and lower thigh well muscled, forming as nearly as possible a right angle. The upper thigh bone parallels the shoulder blade while the lower thigh bone parallels the upper arm. The metatarsus (the unit between the hock joint and the foot) is short, strong and tightly articulated. The dewclaws, if any, should be removed from the hind legs. Feet as in front.

Coat: The ideal dog has a double coat of medium length. The outer coat should be as dense as possible, hair straight, harsh and lying close to the body. A slightly wavy outer coat, often of wiry texture, is permissible. The head, including the inner ear and foreface, and the legs and paws are covered with short hair, and the neck with longer and thicker hair. The rear of the forelegs and hind legs has somewhat longer hair extending to the pastern and hock, respectively. Faults in coat include soft, silky, too long outer coat, woolly, curly, and open coat.

Culled from the American kernel club

I have given you the marking sheet, now grade

Enough said

Lol, you didn't have to post all this. Every Gsd owner should have researched all of this now my questions are,
1) is the dog posted above an adult dog and has it attained it's maximum maturity?
Op said the dog was just 8months old.
2) did you carry out the above laid down rules of measurement to know if it attained maximum height and weight or do you make your own judgement simply by starring at a pic?

Lastly, I believe without you checkmating the above laid rules about Gsd on the op's dog, you shouldn't call it a mixed breed just by starring at a pic.

flexshop:


It's salient to note that a goat can never be a cow no matter what you feed the goat. You don't need the American kernel society to tell you that the dog is not a saddle back gsd.

While you cannot say for sure a dogs pedigree in percentage, you can actually infer a lot merely looking at it. I can tell you that whatever gsd genes in that dog has been grossly violated by mutts.

Telling the op the true state of things will help inform his decision during breeding and save someone who may pick up a pup in future the harrowing experience of buying lemons in place of oranges....

OK brother.....but please can you point out the facts that led to your conclusion that the Gsd is a mixed breed and what factors determine a purebred Gsd.

Modified : what you said above about a goat never turning into a cow, are you trying to imply that a specie feeding on a quality balanced diet and another who solely depend on rice would turn out the same?....NO.

flexshop:


I hardly comment on nairaland but you must be heartless to call this mixed breed a gsd saddle back. What do you hope to achieve with this misinformation? While it may have a gsd in it's bloodline, it has been grossly diluted by mutts along the line.
Giving that it's a lovely dog and should be cared for, give the correct info so the op can seek out pedigree gsd's and correct the breeding aberration if breeding the mixed breed (mongrel) is to be considered.

Firstly, don't use a foreign pic to judge o Nigerian bred gsd, you don't know what both owners have been feeding their dogs and how financially stable and time been afforded the dog.
Secondly, I said the dog was a gsd I never said it was 100% I can't judge that, you too can't. A dog can only be stated full breed after been appraised and as far as I know only boerbull owners do that in Nigeria.

That is a gsd you shouldn't take advice or rating from people who obviously have little knowledge of a gsd and do not even have an appraised one.
Your gsd is a saddle back that is maskless.. .probably genetics

LifeofAirforce:

He's my boy

i pray

One word.....be like this nigga

Op where is blade?. ..pls upload a pic and make sure her muscles are out

Hope you realize that the pic ain't displaying

What breed is the dog?. ...Gsds have that problem alot in puppy stage

Eveezy:
How old is the boy? He still looks young, I ve a black Shepherd as well

pls post pics of your boy bro... Being long you updated about him

Mckandre:
This looks like the african wild dog

This is an African wild dog, there is no resemblance ... You guys should stop badmouthing people's dog

vincentjk:


Very good and is she protective of her territory??

how good is her temperament

she stays indoors with me for now, no cage of recent she always alerts when someone knocks at my door.....i believe the traits are present in her blood but she still plays a lot with strangers

willyroses:
...Thank bro..but I see no reason to subject my dog to some sort of deformation just in the name of fashion..since am not using the dog in a fighting dog game why cropped ear no joor

lol it's your dog bro... So it's entirely your choice.

Nice one....the Caucasian would have been better with the ears cropped... Tomorrow now some dumb people will tell you it's GSD crossbreed

enyi1:

I won't thread words with you boy. All this your useless ranting would have been better if you picked one or two puppies to promote his trade. Afterall they are cheap and way within your league. Whether or not i have a dog shouldn't be your concern. So either buy or shut up.

you won't thread words,yet you replied and added an insult very interesting

Eveezy:
As much as I don't encourage mix breed, I won't be quick to judge d op, as for that guy bad mouthing d op, and also bad mouthing the gsd breed, please Shut up! Am very sure u don't have a dog, if u want a pure breed, use good money to buy a good dog from a reliable source, don't just come here ND be pouring out ur frustrations, so many people in Nigeria have pure breed Gsds, including me, if u want one, don't go to Olx and be begging someone that it's 15k u have for a pure breed. Ur statement angered me cos am a lover of Gsd, and for u to make such a general assumption is annoying. There are mix breeds everywhere, stop making this a Nigeria thing, U have no idea how breeders in Nigeria are trying to up their game, do u know the number of imports just to improve? The carefully planned breeding? In case u don't know Nigeria has started exporting as well, stop bad mouthing ur country. Op please happy sales with ur dog, try make sure it doesn't happen again

You've said it all.. ..the guy probably been chilling with mongrels and thought they were full breed straight back German shepherds.

vincentjk:
I believe this is a working line Gsd?

yes it is

olumig:
Lovely

thanks

Bengal tiger for sure.....tigers are the largest cat.with sheer strength and will power they hunt alone in the wild....only few animals will make out alive against a tiger
