You are not even certain on how cross breeding started so my dear, you cannot advice me.
To your question... The answer is Yes, they just woke up one day to start it. Go online and read how cross breeding started. No clinical test or whatsoever. Moreover why dey always castrate new breeds is to study it nature. Back in early days they cross breed anyhow. There is no need castrating mastiff mix shepherds because we already know how it looks and how they behave.

Yes he did but my point is we shouldn't be doing some mixing that do not make sense and we shouldn't be selling mixed breed that do not make sense because they'll be out in the market and Nigeria won't be known for quality

a mix is a mix whether they share any similarities or not

If he had not come out plain then u can castigate him and term him a crook. There are people out there that just love fine dogs no matter the breed

Adrian98:
Please and please get my point. I'm concerned about the two different breeds from different lines. And most people don't see this as a problem

Gabrokpara001:


I understand what OP is trying to say, i.e crossing a rottwieller with a lahsa apso... except in a case were a person is specifically in need of it( this is called 'designer breed" some famous celebs do it) it isn't right to do it just for doing sake.

However crossing similar breeds i.e boerboel x rott. Rott x doberman , Caucasian x gsd.. boerboel x bullmastiff ( i can bet you most of the adverts on purebred boerboel puppies comes from this mix but nobody ll tell you ) and so on isnt a totally bad idea as most of the purebreed today comes from this type of close breeding....if you want a "purebreed" as we call them ( even when clearly they are a result of mix of diff breed) then go for it, if you open re minded about close crossing go for it...the only difference between the two is a mental thing called registration one has been registered the other hasnt. So let us stop this misguided discrimination. Tomorrow the whites will still come up with a crossbreed, register it , tag it purebred then Nigerians ll start importing as usual and be boosting i have a purebreed dog ..... Mastwieller is coming i bet you

this is not a yardstick Oga the thing is strive for excellence what are you trying to achieve by mixing breeds?

Mr Man, you are RUDE and CHILDISH!

Geepee77:


You are just exaggerating on different lines... There are hundreds of mixes from different lines that became popular today and people did not complain ooh.

Adrian98:
I get your point but what I'm trying to say is some mixing shouldn't be done at all. These dogs have different temperaments. Don't support mixing of anyhow breeds because it has been done already. I don't even care about foreign countries. In Nigeria most people get into this breeding business and mix breeds and sell to naive buyers and that's how these things start to spread. So please get my point. Is Nigeria known for quality of any breed??

there's nothing like close mix breeding. mix breeding is mix breeding if you want a cross breed neuter it don't breed. all pure breeds came as a result of mix breeding but it was planned with aims and objectives You just don't mix breeds to satisfy your curiosity. the pure breed dogs we have today did not come about as a result of a single mix breeding it took years to develop the breed and a lot of work was put in by people that know what they are doing not ignorant people doing backyard breeding.

Please we really need to stop mixing breed from totally different lines. If it was a mistake don't even try to sell them to people. The mixed breed isn't registered anywhere. Don't sell something you mixed . Don't mix dogs from totally different lines.

I requested for a dog in portharcourt for a friend within the price range of 50k and I got this message this morning.



Yes we can mix some breeds for fun or to see the outcome. Sometimes it might be a mistake but don't put out the puppies for sale or put a high price.

Whoever thinks I'm overreacting I don't mind.
I'm a dog lover . I love all dogs not just pure breeds but don't mix anyhow.

There more mixed breeds in this world than you know ... Nigeria or lets say africa in general is far behind when it comes to wether pure breed or mixed breed of dogs .. Due to this we have very limited knowledge... That's why you see people calling a German shepherd and a basenji mix a "mutt" .. Which is funny coz an oyinbo man will rather use the word " hybrid".. Almost all dog breeds have been mixed with other breeds experimentally or coincidentally ... My first encounter with a hybrid was a chow shepherd ( chow chow and German shepherd mix) absolute beauty and very much deserves to be recognized as a different breed on its own .... Im fan of hybrids . don't mind me ..


Until you see a mix don't just write them off ..

Not entirely true sir some dogs today resulted from migration of people and conquest of different empires....there was nothing like a "dog breeder" during the
"Renaissance age" or "Age of enlightenment".

The norms then was that whenever a new city is conquered, the conqueror moves in with there herds and dog that eventually cross with the local indigenous dogs of the conquered.

Migration too is another factor...so the usual " it took a group of breeders working closely together to come up with the breeds today" is not totally true atleast i am certain not for rotts and GSD these re breeds that has evolved with time.

That phrase is true for the boerboels, intelligent south African breeders work to properly come up with a breed of dog that is a mix of molloser type mastiff and local south african dogs...now today AkC has registered them and we call them purebreed.

Here in our lovely country any breeder thats trys to come up with a new idea other people ll start raining insults on him as if na we sabi pass but the truth is we know nothing

space9880:


true for some breeds but at the end some group of people that come together to define a breed. do you plan on creating a new breed? mixing breeds is not necessary if you can avoid it if you can't at least neuter pups.

Gabrokpara001:


I know its not proper to mix two far fetched breeds i.e rottwiellers x apso that mix isn't improving either side of the mix( A rottwieller is a guard dog while a lhasa apso is a toy breed) now such pups can be neutered because on the long run they offer nothing...now this is totally different from mix of very close breeds were the hybrid pup is better than both of its parents i.e mastwiellers, boerwieller,leonberger,labradoodle and so on ( do well to research on them later please ) these are designer breeds which the pups are very impressive and better than their parents, also these breeds may soon be recognized by top kennel registry as a purebreed dog... leonberger has been recognized... mastwiellers and labradoodle is almost there... boerwieller is slowly gathering pace......

I am a lover of both recognized breeds aka purebreds ( because the glaring truth is that all breeds are mixed ) and un-recognized aka close mixing..

I have a male boerwieller his guard instinct is superb started barking at strangers at 6 weeks old, tho he is stubborn..he possess the muscular bold and confident frame of a boerboel coupled with the alert and protective nature of a rott...now isnt that an improvement? Do you think he should still be neutered? Luckily for me i already have two people who owns female boerwiellers and wants my boy to cross them in due time...If in the future someone with a female boerboel also aproach me for studding because he wants to introduce that aggressive gene pool to his pups i wont turn it down either...its a matter of divergent thinking.

Please dont get me wrong let me summarize mixing two far fetched Breed brings nothing to the table but mixing two close breeds is much more better...my own opinion

First pic - Labradoodle
Second pic- leonberger
3rd pi- mastwiellers
4th pic- boerwieller
