I guess you have to approach the issue Ina wicked way too. Make sure the vet doesn't sleep till he refund your money... If I were you I will sleep in his house today

MrrKay:
The price is not exorbitant Bro.
Just take care of the dog, you won't regret it.
Don't allow all this botanical names nairalanders are giving him to affect your commitment.

MrrKay:
IamAnderson have said it all.
Increase the protein.
You can give egg occassionally (trice a wk)if u can't give everyday, as egg contains all the essential nutrients...and any other protein u can lay ur hands on.

IJBNSH:


Sure I do, can you recommend any local food to give my 10months plus BB She eating indomie fine but I want something to boost her more. She look less her age, her picture is attached below

Giantslayer:


Give her raw meat

IJBNSH:


No side effects??

Giantslayer:


None at all, but always deworm ur dog

Giantslayer:

IJBNSH:

how long should the dog be dewormed??

IJBNSH:


No side effects??

IJBNSH:


I guess as much but why are people wicked?? A vet sold him to me and was telling me it a mixed Eskimo and Samoyed.

IamAnderson:

if you're raw feeding then deworm your dog once a month even if it's an adult

IamAnderson:

if you want to know if a dog has local dog genes in it, look for the white marking on it's toes and tip of it's tail, some also have on their chest.
then also, local dogs have bony chiseled faces unlike foreign breeds so you can also tell by the way the dog's face is.
it's not a bad dog tho I just hope he didn't charge you a lot for it

Dickson23:
Looks like a local dog mixed with an American Eskimo...

Beautiful dog but please no further breeding

IJBNSH:


how long should the dog be dewormed??

Giantslayer:


Puppy - two weeks intervals

Adults - one month intervals

Dickson23:
I hope you know some pure bred gsd can sometimes have little white markings?

IamAnderson:

pure bred gsds do not have white markings on their toes,chest and tail tips

IamAnderson:

explosiveskull:

Bro how many times will I correct you on this your white markings found on gsds, that a gsd has a white marking doesn't make it impure but a fault according to the American or whatever breeding conformation. The white markings show that that particular dog has a white recessive Gene, will you say that pure white gsds are impure too? Just that the white markings do add faults to the conformation as per the purpose why it was bred and that is for herding as herds or sheep didn't fear white gsds cos they thought that the gsd is a sheep like them and their herding work required them to be dirty sometimes and white doesn't hide dirt, so breeding since then have been patterned in such a way to eliminate those white markings. If you read about their genealogy, that white Gene was introduced either in their third generation when their breeding program was still in full process.

Dickson23:
Check online you would see alot with little white markings on their toes

IamAnderson:

let's start like this, if someone should ask you to describe a pure bred Rottweiler wouldn't you describe them as black with tan markings?
do you know that rotts can also come in fawn colour?
does it mean it's part of the standard of a pure bred Rottweiler?

and also, these white gsds and also the ones that have the recessive white gene do they have the markings on their toes,chest and tail tips?
you even had to write the history of white gsds like it was proving any point.
yes there are African albinos and Africans with blue eyes but will you seem like a smart person when you say Africans have pale skin and blue eyes?

like you said, it is seen as a fault, meaning any pure bred gsd with white markings will not be considered a good representative of the breed and not be allowed in dog shows, do you know why?, it's because *it is not a breed standard*.

IamAnderson:

kindly share 5 pics of pure bred gsds that have markings on the toes, tail tips and chest like the local Nigerian dog.
I've even been specifying the particular points of the white markings yet you guys want to feel like gsd experts.

explosiveskull:

Seriously, dog shows determine the pureness of a breed? Or it's genetic makeup? I give up. Thank you.

explosiveskull:

This is no gsd, as there are other features that distinguish a gsd from other dogs. I've not seen a gsd with a white at the tip of its tail.
Take a look at this dog. He is considered the first German Shepherd.

http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=1208-horand-von-grafrath-hektor-linksrhein

His grandfather on his mother's side was a white German Shepherd.

That means 25% of the genetic makeup of every German Shepherd is white.

Eliminating that from the gene pool through selective breeding is part of why GSD's have so many health problems.

Dickson23:
I didn't say on tails just telling you I've seen pure bred gsd with little white markings on their toes and some all black gsd have little white markings on their chest Google is your friend

IamAnderson:

English comprehension should also be your friend because I wrote a whole paragraph explaining how what i said is not wrong yet you're still ignoring it and saying unnecessary statements no one is arguing with you about.

I've also seen Africans with pale skin and blue eyes, does it mean saying Africans have blue eyes and pale skin is correct?
do you think people use something that everyone knows is a genetic fault to describe a race or breed?.
I said local dogs have white markings on their toes,chest and tail tips, which is very common knowledge then you had to point out that gsds have white markings too, I said they don't and explained how something that is a genetic fault shouldn't be used to describe a breed even tho it happens, I even used the fawn coloured rott as an example. you're still pointing out that they have white markings, I still say because a small percentage that is referred to as a "fault" does not mean the breed should be likened to that colour. I also asked you to post five pics of gsds with that white colour pattern I've been repeating, you still can't provide pics so what exactly are we still talking about??

Dickson23:
It is not a fault if there are white gsd.... Stop using AKC standards for us here there are also fawn coloured gsds does that make them any less of a gsd?

IamAnderson:

no one said white gsds are a fault.
what I said is gsds with white markings on there toes and chest are seen as a fault and fawn coloured gsds are an actual colour of gsd unlike gsds with white markings on the toes, chest and tail tips.
its not even listed as part of the rare coloured gsds, the closest is the panda coloured gsds and it still doesn't have these markings.
I really don't know why you're trying to turn this into an argument, I've asked you to show us 5 pics of gsds with these markings and you haven't been able to provide pics.
gsds do not come with those markings unlike local dogs, I can post 70 pics to show local dogs with the markings if you want.
I get you want to show you you've read about gsds online but please pick your arguments smartly, there is really nothing to talk about again, read all my comments again in case you still don't understand what I'm saying maybe you'll see why this back and forth is unnecessary .

p.s: you said I should stop using AKC standard which standard should I use then? your own? please show me a kennel club that shows gsds with white markings where i said since you don't trust akc
