It is good to know Cooper is improving in his eating habit.

Incredible Cooper...He loves the tug-of-war game. The command "Stop" is going to be the first command to teach him when we start our obedience class in few days.

Cooper really has to be taught to stop otherwise......
He has so much energy, always agile, wants to play, hunt, chase etc.

Cooper is a fearless young dude, i don't let him close to my Caucasian because he likes playing rough and the Caucasian named Bentley can go hard on him... Note: I also own the Caucasian but don't like fronting him because he is not a pedigree...

I want to promote pure breed.

Cooper has really improved on his eating habit,i hope he continues.

You gotta start trying to get them to get along. Supervised time together should be introduced while you the pack leader sets the rules. Cooper gotta know it's place in the pack and behave accordingly.

You are very correct.. Cooper will start his obedience training this month and in few weeks he will be good..As a Puppy there are some habits he exhibits though playful but could trigger a hit from Bentley if left unsupervised..Bentley is such a loyal girl,protective and submissive at all times,skeptical of strangers and always ready to protect his territory.

Cooper is doing fine, eats very well.
He is on Royal Canine and Beef, drinks a lot of water.
Honestly, Cooper is an excellent breed, one thing i have come to notice, Cooper must always be kept busy with a toy or ball for play, he needs good exercise. He is not a breed for someone who does not have time, crating him or leaving him on the leash for a long time is a disaster, also leaving him alone for a long time makes him bored which results to chewing and biting all available items within his reach.

Cooper is a working dog, loves companionship, defends his territory when threatened,understands simple task. Cooper is so intelligent, reads your body language and understands when you are happy and not happy.

This is Royal Canine Coopers feed. I am quite impressed with the feed..Cooper is looking very healthy, strong with good weight.

Avid dog lover here, I usually read comments from time to time.. Your GSD looks good, probably the best I have seen on this board, your passion and dedication to cooper is pretty obvious. Keep it up.

@Baroba thanks a lot.

Op, I must commend your effort for taking good care for your pet.

It has 2 pack big/small. This is the small bag and it goes for N5800 while the bigger one goes for N19,500 @ Agege. I use to go through Abule Egba not too conversant with the area but they sell dog & other animal stuffs.

Thank you i will surely update the thread daily by Gods grace.

These are Coopers grooming kits..K9 imported shampoo/ conditioner. It is also meant for fleas & ticks.. The grooming comb and perfume. Cooper smells nice at all times so those allergic to doggy smell can still hang around Cooper.

This is Coopers milk bought it last for N250 and was told its N300 when i got back, i refused to buy but gave up and bought it when the seller refused to compromise.

The can is K9 Cooper loves it too because it contains beef and smells good.

Thank you. Can you please confirm how long the N5800 worth will last on average?

I don't have their contacts(phone number) but for a Puppy between 2-4months the small bag can last for a month.

Besides, most dogs are not heavy eaters like Cooper, the small bag will be consumed for 3 days by my 6 month old Caucasian.

My 4months old puppy eats a lot. His favorite is rice and fish, infact we both drag the pot of rice in the kitchen. But now I'm looking for a more balanced diet so he can truly grow. He did k9 in the past, but eventually started rejecting it. So I switched to a very nice brand I saw at shoprite sometime back, he really liked it, but unfortunately shoprite has refused to stock up on it. I'll give the royal canin a try.

I'd like to see a picture of your caucasian if it's not too much trouble.

Is your dog a Caucasian?
I just got hold of an invoice of the feed seller:

Marvelous Ventures
283, Old Abeokuta Exp. Road,
Tabon-Tabon, Agege
Tel: 08033433131, 08029812325

Confirm from them before you buy the Royal Canine, they have it for different breeds.
Try it you will love it within one month you will see great improvement, just ensure you have water around for him to drink 24/7.

Cooper loves tug-of-war game. So much energy.

Cooper got a bone.

My puppy is a gsd, not pure like your own sha, but I don't mind, I still love him.

Part of the reason I want to switch his diet is because his poo is just too large. Looks like we're competing.

Deeptesting, you seem quite knowledgeable about gsds, what do you think of this: https://www.nairaland.com/2160108/female-slantback-german-shepherd-puppy

I really would like to have her, but the seller seem a bit arrogant, and it's making me lose interest already.

Apologies for derailing from the original discussion.

I checked out the thread, someone asked the Puppy owner if he can see the parents but he is yet to respond to the post,if he is a good breeder he will have no reason not to show the parents of the Puppy.

The decision is yours to make, the owner as well did not mention anything about the parents if they were pedigree or not.
A potential buyer wants to see the parents of the Puppy this is because sometimes the Puppies turn out very poor (below expectation), a feel both parents will likely give you a clue as to what the Puppy will look like because either pikin resemble him Papa or Mama. I would love to see the parents before i can advice you because i don`t like when people cross-breed a pedigree with non-pedigree. If both parents are pedigree then it is cool but like i said, it is only when we see the parents that we can determine.

If you love the Puppy you can go for it but ensure you don`t pay money without seeing the Puppy, you can as well arrange for pay on delivery.
I don`t like Breeders who hide facts from potential buyer`s for me it is a red flag not to deal.

My 2 cent.

lol at the bold.
I stopped feeding my Caucasian Indomie which is mixed with chicken chest because i discovered that it makes her Poo smell like an adult human poo and switched to crunches. Call the seller, there are still other good dry food that are cheaper than Royal Canine and are still good. The seller will advice you properly, i think she is also a Vet.

Thank you. I was the same person who asked to see the picture of the parents.

The puppy is just too cute to ignore, looks like Cooper's sibling. Thanks, I'll hold off for now, details are just too sketchy.
