johnnyn1:Boss no vex, what's the difference but an Alsatian and German sherperd ,my present dog is a female Alsatian, but when I bought it then, I was calling it a German Shepard breed, it was at the state vet they said Its an Alsatian not German shepard .kindly enlighten me |
Re: Please, I Need Tips For Choosing A Dog by johnnyn1(m): 3:14pm On Aug 24, 2018 |
foreverkind1: They are all the same bro. They are called Shepherd Dog. it's just the location where they are bred that originated Alsatian and German. The name German Shepherd was used in America. The German Shepherds was used by both sides to fight during the war. But the British didn’t want to call their dogs German sothey decided on the name Alsatian. Later, after the war, the British changed the name back to German Shepherd Dog .There is NO difference between a German Shepherd Dog and an Alsatian. The original name is German shepherd Dog. During the world war britishers named it Alsatian,after the German French border area of Alsace-Lorraine. |

LordLanister:nice write up , but I will have to say you ar wrong to tag Caucasian as an easily trainable dog, it's not , one of the hardest , those creatures are so disobedient . 1 Like |

chiboy1116: Caucasian is a deadly dog, more so, those we call Caucasian here are not, but “Sarplaninac.” The real Caucasian is like a “Sarplaninac.” on steroids. Co isn’t a dog to be permitted around kids. |

GRACEGLORY:wait oh , what's the difference between a sarplaninac and a Caucasian shepherd . They look alike but sarplaninac is from Yugoslavia . It exactly what we call Caucasian here in Nigeria . |
Re: Please, I Need Tips For Choosing A Dog by Nobody: 8:50pm On Aug 24, 2018 |
My Caucasian temperament was awesome. Never saw training as a tedious activity. She was quick to learn. I believe everything boils down to temperament and inherited intelligence. Getting a dog goes beyond the physical conformation but also the behavioral traits expected to see in such breed. That's why it's expected to get a pup at least 8weeks of age or more preferably 12 weeks because that's when you begin to see some behavioral feature as expected. I Remembered my Caucasian shaking and sitting even without much emphasis in training at just 12weeks. And also I think socialization is very important. |

German Shepherd I would say. I got my first dog too last year August and she was a German Shepherd. Very very good value for money. I used her to stair the water and now I know so much about dogs. I have gotten a BB. Ohh and less I forget, my German Shepherd has given birth to 4 lovely slant pups. GSD as so very friendly and easy to maintain. You have also have got to have love and passion for dogs. Having a dog goes beyond just having a dog. It's a life. 1 Like |

TAIRA: A German Shepherd ticks all the boxes, a boerboel is good too but it is not a low maintenance dog. |

[/quotes]not trying say ur dog ain't good, but pure Caucasians are not evn household dogs , u don't just get them . And they are all stubborn, extremely aggressive , powerful . A dog that kill a bear doesn't sound like a dog with good temperament , yea they can b trained but not by firstimers ...u must have had a whole lot of experience , I mean like a whole lot of experience.....I had to call a trainer , then they both stopped some stupid shit they did then. |

rumenase:I saw some pics , and I must say most of the dogs we call Caucasians in Nigeria aren't , I am not evn sure mine is a Caucasian sef. |
Re: Please, I Need Tips For Choosing A Dog by Nobody: 7:03pm On Aug 26, 2018 |
chiboy1116 : No-one is saying Caucasian can't do all of those.. But you tend to forget the usefulness of socialization in training pups... And again I emphasis that intelligence can also be transmitted from parents to offspring. If you have a well trained dam her pups have a 70-90% chance of learning from her as long as they aren't adopted early... That's y I advise on adopting pups at 8-12 weeks.. And who said the number one traits of a pedigree Caucasian is killing bears. If a pitbull can be trained to walk without leash and Rott are trained to accommodate children then I think caucs aren't gonna be different. 1 Like |

OP forget about all these exotic dog breeds, you are a first time owner and from the questions you ask it seems like you don't know anything about dogs so just get an Ekuke at the moment, it suits you more. |
Re: Please, I Need Tips For Choosing A Dog by chiboy1116: 9:45pm On Aug 26, 2018 |
LordLanister:sir rotts Nd pittbulls aren't like Caucasian ....I am not talking of the caucs u see here , a rott isn't evn aggressive compared to a pure Caucasian breed ...pittbulls have the tendency to b stupid atimes . Please don't compare the stubbornness and aggressiveness of a Caucasian to a pittbull or rott u should read about Caucasians sir , rottweilers were used as soldiers during war to search or look for stuff, Caucasians are used to protect livestock's like cows, sheep's ,goats from deadly animals like cheeter ,bears,cougars,hyenas .....I think u should read about Caucasians ....they mostly don't stay in houses , they stay in farms . I think they were also used during the war by the Russians . |
