IMPORTED DOG!!! Is That All? by generalj1(m): 9:27am On Feb 08, 2016
I will like to keep this short.

when getting a dog, you need to define purpose, and then the most suitable breed for that purpose.

Coming down to quality... you can have a companion dog (regular ) or a breeding dog ( meaning great quality/features that is worthy of reproducing to keep the features around longer and most definitely improve also in newer generation)

The fact that a dog is IMPORTED doesn't make it great and you don't necessarily need to spent too much money on overrated dogs.

that is the sole reason why breeders of great locally bred dogs now scam unsuspecting buyers that the dog is imported to get more money.

Dont get me wrong...lots of imported dogs are great and some few ones are just pure rubbish.

its like buying a Ferrari or lambo for your 80 years old grand ma who wants a car she can drive around.

When someone comes to me and ask for a quality dog..I ask questions to find out purpose, lifestyle, budget and some more history so as to understand the expectations and get the right dog for the person.

if you are now insisting on imported so as to be able to brag about it and you have the money. I refer you to those that can import for you.

its funny when you have 100k and you are asking for imported, pedigree, pure bred, champion bloodline puppy.
Trust me, nigerian breeders will get you one.

We claim that the dogs are imported but I've never seen dogs as aggressive as Nigerian dogs.

In other lands, dogs are fun to be with but here it is "beware of dogs"

behavior of dogs is majorly upbringing and to some genetic.

some dogs require more attention than some other.

A dog can be companion dog, guard dog, attack dog, working dog...all sort.

but we all want an all purpose dog without the commitment to training.

the fact that a champion dog mated a champion dog will not automatically produce a champion offspring. it can increase the tendencies sha.

if dwayne johnson mated with serena williams.... the offspring will not automatically be best lawn tennis player or greatest wrestler.

Lets cast our minds back a little bit.

when people migrated in the olden days from Rome to somewhere, Dutch folks to South Africa (creators of South African Boerboels) , they didn't just take their dogs over there, instead they bred their own dogs with the indigenous dogs over to improve the indigenous ones and create the traits in the new offsprings

I wonder the sense in calling myself a breeder while the selling point for my dogs are the names of other breeders dogs, kennels and bloodlines.

Nigerian prospective dog owners should be educated to readup on the particular dog breeds they want and learn to look for features and not just scamming names.

when last did you go to a Honda Shop to buy a car produced by Honda and the showroom guy tells you that we can import you a Ferrari if you want a better and faster car.
