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.

Bro you can’t handle a GSD puppy like that maybe a boerbul tho

So if I go for a 4 month old pup it’s fine?

setobaba:

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

At four month she should be able to hold poo for long, the only problem is the poo

No
how can u survive with 75k per month? rent, food transportation. Don't even think about it. u want the dog to suffer, just go for rabbit, they only eat vegetables. Don't even try cats they're more expensive to feed

You are right...I have rabbits and their care isn't really expensive except when it comes to veterinary services

Yeah I believe BB are generally lazy and less active and need little exercise

Tarh.. My rottweiler eats everything as long as he can see anyone in his family eat it..... Everything you can think of... Cucumber, coconut, eba, beans, peanuts, popcorn,... Hell eat blade if he sees you eating blade sef.

That was how I got him to eat his dog biscuits as a puppy..... Had to pretend like I was eating it too

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

Now that he's older... I don't have to pretend to eat anything.... He loved can food at once, I didn't have to pretend to eat....

I had to pretend to eat his indomie, diamond buscuits and some other dog food I can't even remember....


Not had time to take an outdoor picture of him...

You must be living alone for allowing your pet sleep on your chair

Nah. I don't live alone.... He's a very clean dog, bathes regularly, uses his perfume regularly...... He's an indoor dog and I don't joke with his cleanliness

Yeah,... They draw saliva only when they're very agitated or salivating for food.

Pls what’s the name of the perfume you using and what others tips do you add to his feed
How often do you bath your dog? And doesn’t he sometimes poo at the wrong place in your house, how old is the dog ?

Dog Cologne - Phebe ocent

Well.. He eats basically his indomie mixed with lost of dry fish crumbs... And on days that he doesn't eat that, he eats anything else we cook.

He bathes Twice a week.

And no.. Khal brings his belt to anyone at home when he needs to poo.. So we know that he needs to go out either to pee... He brought his belt a few mins ago and I just took him out.... And I'm replying this as he's doing business.. Lol.

Ehmmm... My tip is..... Sometimes, e dey make sense make you use cane

How much is that perfume and how old is your dog, I don’t let mine stay longer inside except for the cage cos she sometimes still messes up the cage unintentionally, normally she cries anytime she’s pressed but I notice she can’t hold poo for long. She’s still about 6month older sha.

She’s looking great man. How do you cope with neighbors.
Except you have understand neighbors

Can't remember how much I bought it the perfume but it's not expensive .... Khal is a year and half now...

Well. You might have had her in the hopes of keeping her as an outdoor dog.. Its normal that she'd cry and not want to mess up her cage... Dogs don't like to litter a place they sleep in....

I stay in a room and parlor self contain apartment with a single neighbor and landlord, I always have her locked up inside her cage. She’s a very large dog but armless but no one would care to know that lol

now you see that it is possible if you put your mind to it.

Yes for sure

Bro kindly share all you have experienced, concerning feeding, medical, etc

She is the best investment/ companion your 70k salary can give. You will soon reap the benefits of all the love and care you have given her.... That is if you havent already.

Lovely dog, beautiful decision.

For the Medical, I can only remember few times that I spent on her. After I brought her home, a vet checked her out and vaccinate the dog, which was repeated after like three months.
There was also a day she mistake fee on a borne that was mixed with insecticides, she was about 3 months older then, I spent over 15k to get her back to normal. She’s never the sicking dog, apart from ticks infestation, which leads to an acidic bath for her no other serious medical issues.
I must say feeding her is something serious. The first 6months was built on protenious meals, sure as fish, chicken head and legs, milk can and dried feeds. Now I feed her with anything I eat at home before she becomes obese.

Hello nairalnaders I’m moving to my new apartment soon, a self con after my service year ends and I’ve always been a lover of dogs but never had the chance to own one yet, due to their cost of manintenace . So now I’m on a salary scale of 75K and really really plan to get a dog for my self preferably a germane Shepard to start with, I have no experience on how to maintain one So I really need you people help on this. Can I get one with my salary range. Like how much can I assume to budget for the dog monthly and what’s the best breed to start with? I basically knew nothing than I love dog pls help me
Lalasticalala and other mod help with this to the front page


Modified on March 1st 2021
I got the GSD puppy about this time last year
I named her Update
And now she’s preggy, in few weeks she should have her first litter. Start booking
I fed the dog well
And at the end, this is my conclusion,
You can surely own a dog with a 75k salary earnings, provided you have not other mouth to feed apart from you and the dog.
