Xena is doing great, i am so sorry for being away, just due to circumstances beyond my control.
I'll try and keep her thread updated.
Thanks for asking.
Good morning and a happy sunday.

Good morning and happy sunday Petlanders.
Trust we all had a blissful night rest.
Despite the hard time, we thankGOD for the umerited and undeserved gift of life.
May he alone receive our praises.

I apologise for my absence for a while, i owe an explanation on a round table *jiggles*

Meanwhile, Princess "XENA" the princess warrior is doing great.
Very hyperactive and full of energy.
I am still open to learn more and new ways to improve her feeding plan to ensure good health, growth and development.
I introduced brisket bone when she turned 5month, (1st sept) though is just once or twice a week ( 4 pieces) and it's going really well.

She will turn 6month on oct 1st. And i have the intention of getting her a big bone to get her busy during my absence.

REASON BELOW:
I am living with my lil princess, yes xena stays inside, i have to convert my sitting room to hers while contruction of her kennel is ongoing, and rain aint helping atall.
Rewind to her early stage xena caused more harm, she shewed my remote,
Re: My Female Boerboel .... Her Name Is "Xena" by MrrKay(m): 7:51am On Sep 29, 2019
She chewed my remote, my av wires and anything chewable.
Even my lovely cotton, as a novice, i comfirmed that is a normal thing from reasearches and more experienced dog owners, they do such just to keep the tiny teeths busy, so i have to rush get her toys and balls, meanwhile the did have been done, anyway i still got to remove everything thing in the room. (ust my electronics and other things, (no ophostery, i no get am, incase you get any to dash out lmao)
To avoid more damage and also provide more space.
But a thing is this she knows her boundry, she dosnt cross the door connecting the sitting room (now hers) to oza room. (in sm1s voice, "eh who slap me")

Fastfoward to present day.
Xena is really growing and developing well. The reason i want to get her a big bone is this.
Xena destroyed the cable, (nig cable)that dropped socket and the socket as well.
What if i wasnt around and disconnect the cable from junc box, maybe my story nw would have been diff.
Infact i had to disconnect all the cable socket
Re: My Female Boerboel .... Her Name Is "Xena" by MrrKay(m): 8:01am On Sep 29, 2019
droppings over there,
(I no de type all this cos e de swt to type, i no say pipo go learn and adjust from my exp, i de lucky and another niggy fit no de, na why i de share my testmony)

With this bone, she will get more busy, as her balls is not enough anymore.
I am even considering getting a sister (GSD or CO)
but not sure if i am ready for another dog yet.

To be candid, despite the challenge, i am really enjoying my roomie, i'll mis her when she finally packed to her kennel.
Imagine the bond with your pup when she stays in a kennel then compare when she is right inside with you.

Please permit to upload her pix later.


NB: she will turn 6month on Tue oct 1st.
D.O.B 1st April

Xena looks healthy and her coat is shiny as well but I think she kinda looks lanky.

What feeding is she currently on?
Re: My Female Boerboel .... Her Name Is "Xena" by MrrKay(m): 11:09pm On Oct 01, 2019

She is still on her former feeding plan.

Had it been i dnt knw her, i'll still say, she is kinda lanky, buh i trust pics dnt really justify our pup or i don't know how to take pics.

Do you know what a robust boerboel look like? Lol

Ok maybe i don't know what i mean by "robust" but i trust i know what i mean, that's by the way.

So what do you think that can be included to her Feeding Plan.
Or is there anything am i not doing well?

Is she currently on chicken? Chicken helps in dog growth as it's a good source both in protein and appetite

I think Vincent is right, she does look lanky, I think it's because you haven't increased her food serving recently.
she has probably grown bigger than the amount you usually give her because I can tell she's eating healthy, her coat is shiny and she looks active, it's just the quantity that's the issue.
also your fear of her getting obese is funny, don't you know she's a boerbel? cheesy
are you expecting her to be the weight of a gsd? lol feed her well abeg, the beauty of a boerbel is it's mass and bulk grin .
even if she adds weight she can still carry it don't be afraid lol.
at her age she should be weighing about 36-45kg which is higher than the weight of the male German Shepherd
so imagine how much all those massive adult ones we see in dog shows weigh cheesy
boerbels have the bones and frame to carry body mass, is what they're built for, more weight won't kill her or slow her down.
just keep up with a chart to know if she's adding too much weight for her age and you'll be fine bro, obesity isn't good yes but some breeds are meant to be bulky that's why you should check dog's weight based on breed.
a malnourished cauc will still weigh more than an obese gsd , it doesn't mean the dog isn't underfed. wink

Firstly, it gives me joy the way you give your ideas, despite the stress in typing.
Keep it up Boss.

Meanwhile you have said it all.
I think i never increased her meal, which i am gonna do Asap. Was scared of obesity but you have built my confidence.
And if i may ask, is there any other addition to bulk her up?
Thanks again.

Just like Anderson said you shouldn't be afraid of obesity or your dog getting fat. Upon how good my puppy looks yet to me I haven't bulked him up with food yet (I'm not talking about over feeding)


Add a lot of protein and increase her amount of food then watch the outcome. How many times do you feed her a day?
Re: My Female Boerboel .... Her Name Is "Xena" by MrrKay(m): 12:27pm On Oct 04, 2019
Boss.
I feed her in the morning, then when i come back in the evening/night and meet empty bowel, i refill.
What i think i ought to do nw, is to increase the quantity of her food.

increase the quantity of her food and add more protein too with more exercise, you'll notice the difference wink
when she bulks up and starts adding muscle mass you'll see how much better she'll look.
the frequency of her feeding is okay too the only thing you should change is the quantity

what you're giving her is already okay from what you said now.
just increase the quantity of her food and she'll be fine.
and what I mean by exercise is that you should make sure she runs around or plays as much as she can. it mustn't always be formal walks for exercise.
Re: My Female Boerboel .... Her Name Is "Xena" by MrrKay(m): 10:26pm On Oct 05, 2019
IamAnderson Noted, i'll esp the runing around and playing aspect.
