Vigil shamrock
8months 3weeks

Started making his territory with urine, becoming aggressive but still a calm dog overall (which I love most).

Vigil lost some few weight because he doesn’t like/eat his dry food so won’t be getting him another when he finishes the current one. Will stick with can food, meat protein and eggs.

As you can see from the pictures above, vigil’s fur is beginning to change to fawn, he still plays but not as much as he used to. He now marks the compound with urine and even does that when we’re on a walk, he marks on electric poles, fences and even grass etc.

He loves chasing smaller animal/insect like lizard, cockroaches and fowl and so on.
Up on till now I never knew dogs were good control measures for rats, it’s been 5months + I’ve never set my eyes on rats which wasn’t the case before.
He’s a big eater though a picky one

Most people feel when male dogs are stubborn as puppies, it's nothing. But on the long run, when the dog starts being overly aggressive, them go dey complain. Spank that dog when necessary... show the dog say you be alpha, if not, one day that dog will attack you o.

totally agree, there should even be limit to aggressiveness else it’s just poor upbringing.

I for one am talking out of experience. I have a male, when growing, he never liked anyone coming close to wherever he was laying down, he didn’t welcome it at all... or to touch him when he’s eating... I had to really scold the dog whenever he showed such behavior towards me. The dog come dey respect me. Up till now, I’m the only one that can touch his food when he’s eating, or beat him, or even hold him when he wants to attack... nobody fit bath am for the house except me, because they let it slide when he was a puppy, now my mama them dey fear the dog. They even wanted to sell him off, I told them not to, cuz na them cause am. So guy, now that the dog is still kind of a puppy, omo, put am for im place o. Males can become very territorial and feisty as adults o, make that dog no turn out overly aggressive. There’s a difference between a dog that knows when to show aggression and a dog that is always aggressive, which is really unsafe. Plus that dog is a cauc sef. OP, Vigil is doing awesome mehn, very nice job.

I have noticed vigil has become a heavy eater, he finishes full bowl of food at one go, just yesterday he finished 9 slice of bread mixed with 1 Jojo puppy can food and 2 raw eggs, was even licking his bowl sef. See me that was even planning to start giving him one meal per day. And his weight and strength is huge, takes everything to control him whenever we’re on a walk and he chooses to misbehave.
It takes so much to care for a dog, especially a big breed. Vigil has never fallen sick; have never seen a tick on him. Hopefully it stays that way.

It seems he inherited Roscoe's health, Roscoe hasn't fallen sick in almost 3 yrs now.
The most complicated thing that has happened to him is worm infestation whenever I'm not around for long and with one dose of dewormer he's back to normal smiley

He has also never had a tick infestation before

I'm guessing his final coat will be a mixture of the two, fawn undercoat and black second coat.

Today I started the command training on vigil, it went better than I imagined. It was solely on the ‘sit’ command and I used the reward system , it wasn’t easy though but it was worth it

Vigil is exactly 10months
