pocohantas: My family used to have dogs since I can remember and I had one too until some years ago. I can tell you that cats are certainly more independent. Some of them are very cuddly, like mine, especially the black one but many don't enjoy cuddling that much. Female cats are usually less cuddly and if they are allowed to walk around freely, you won't see them for days at times. Until it gets colder or rainy. But I would not recommend that much unsupervised time in Nigeria. |

Hathor5: Cc; Jornwhite, read the comment of a sensible human who understands independence in this context . Lmao @ days. Where would it be in those days? I would be very concerned if I don’t see my dog or zmpp for days o. Maybe a truck has crushed her or someone has killed her because cats are witches. 1 Like |

pocohantas: You don't let a dog run around freely though we used to have a dog we found hurt on the street when I was little and helped recover that stayed with us after his leg healed. We would still let him roam the streets freely because this is what he was used to. If by any chance he would not show up in the night, he would wait in the morning to take me to school. until one faithful day ... I still miss this dog. Cats go out to hunt, play with or fight other cats, mate and enjoy nature. Sometimes they accidentally get locked up in an abandoned building and die if nobody returns to open the building on time or get crushed by cars. That's why I have taught my cats to walk on the leash. Ok, only one of them has accepted the leash. I am still trying to convince the other one. |

setobaba: If you need a large dog why not go for Caucasian? Most German Shepherd are medium breed. Even if you give the dog heaven and earth, it will not grow above limit. Concerning the harshness, restrict the dog from too much people, but main looking at the dog, he's doing well. |

setobaba: She's still too young Instead of complaining, use her energy to properly train her. You'll enjoy your dog better when it's properly trained |

Geepee77:I stayed in a self contained apartment and lock her up for hours in the cage and about the size I know Caucasian are bigger dogs but still I’ve seen many Big GSD any I’m still working on her just help look into the food content I’m feeding her with |

femekpe:How do I make her walk beside me with leach? I ended up always kicking her each time we go out |
Re: Can I Be On 75K Salary And Still Own A Dog ?? by Geepee77(m): 7:55am On Jul 28, 2020 |
setobaba: Shorten the leach, anytime you are walking with the dog. It takes practice and if she tries going forward, drag him back a little. |

setobaba: Look into her parents to see if they are big to start with. That would give you a pointer if it's your feeding or it's just the dog |

setobaba:and don't forget, anytime the dog is going faster than you in a leach ,stop moving at that extend ,with time daily ,d dog will adjust to your moving pattern , my dog is a mix bread (local and long mouth rott)but I was able to tame her ,to the extend people ask me if it's a police dog ,u no fit not knock on our entrance door if the dog is sleeping there and not chained ,I made the entrance door so comfortable for her with a sofa for her to sleep on when even it's sunny or raining outside ,.. when it's morning dog is already scratching on the door to say high to every one ,na bed she day jump out before we serve am food |

setobaba: Shorten the leash, if it's long, she will take it as you telling her to go ahead of you. Also please don't kick her, when you notice she's pulling, stop moving this would teach her that pulling doesn't pay. I also advise you to practice in your compound first. Because of the many distractions that are outside You can also check YouTube for videos on heel training for dogs 1 Like |

setobaba: This is why you should do your research before buying any breed, i remember when you were about to start this journey and you asked for advice from us. GSD re medium size dogs dont expect them to be as big as a boerboel or Caucasian, also just lik rotts their growth rate is slow compared to other large breed dogs, however when they hit maturity they begin to fill out and bulk up, so be a good owner and be patient her time is coming. As for aggression limit number of people petting her and also take her to see different environments and vaccinated pups to increase her confidence level |
Re: Can I Be On 75K Salary And Still Own A Dog ?? by harmargedon: 2:25pm On Aug 30, 2020 |
setobaba:the food combination is okay. the size you need is based on the breed which you buy. They have dogs that are naturally big, like the Caucasian, boerboel, great Dane, doberman etc. At 4 months your dog wouldn't look so big but you'd see difference from six till a year. |
Re: Can I Be On 75K Salary And Still Own A Dog ?? by setobaba: 2:35pm On Aug 30, 2020 |
harmargedon: The picture I uploaded says she’s few days to 6months Tho people ran off and claimed the dog is big, I still wondered |
Re: Can I Be On 75K Salary And Still Own A Dog ?? by setobaba: 2:37pm On Aug 30, 2020 |
Gabrokpara001: Sir I actually did my research, it only got to me late that GSD are of two breeds the showlines and straights I got myself a mixture of both breed from the parents I’ve seen bigger German Shepard dogs |
Re: Can I Be On 75K Salary And Still Own A Dog ?? by harmargedon: 12:34am On Aug 31, 2020 |
setobaba:yes she is. You wouldn't see it because you are with her always. The same happened to me too, I never knew mine had grown big. |

Bruh nice thread you got here I also want a dog. I leave alone but my only challenge is my work. I leave for work between 6:50am to 7:30. Am I return back from work between 5:00pm to 6:pm Is it doable especially when the dog is still very much young? Can I just drop dry food and hope he/she feeds till I get back. I know my major problem will be potty training and loneliness is this doable? |
Re: Can I Be On 75K Salary And Still Own A Dog ?? by harmargedon: 7:06am On Sep 08, 2020 |
AmadeusCho:very young depends on the age, but it's very much possible. I got mine when she was a month and three weeks and how she's a year old, I leave my home 4:30am and come back 8:00pm and I still take care of my dog. you just have to wake up an hour earlier to clean where it stays then you'll give it enough food and water that would last through out the day till you return. Then on weekends you'll take it for a walk (that's when it's grown). The potty training cab hold during the weekend. When you come back from work, you'll have to stay like 30 to an hour with the dog, so as to observe it incase you notice any changes. For the loneliness you can get an interactive toy to keep it company. |

Thank you very much for the insight harmargedon: |
Re: Can I Be On 75K Salary And Still Own A Dog ?? by setobaba: 7:22am On Sep 17, 2020 |
AmadeusCho:Pls you can’t leave a very young dog alone at home for long, it’s suicidal and dangerous. You will be breeding a very dirty dog, for German Shepard dogs they really hate staying closer to their poo, so what happens an hour after you leave the house and the dog messed up the cage, you can only leave 4months old and above dog behind for long, anything younger than that needs training so if you getting one mature is an adolescent or adult dog. The time you will be taking at work is long to have a trained dog |
