swazzie Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) We were at a Father's Day outdoor event today. Dogs were welcome so we brought Chloe. As we were leaving, this man approached me and said "I've never seen a brown one before" I was think huh Brown labs not exactly rare! Then he goes is it a Brown Rothweiler? Me no she's a lab Him oh really ,she's big Me to myself- best put Chloe on a diet but am positive she'll still look like a lab not a Rothweiler. ????????????

Papillon Kisses Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 For a year or two after the movie came out, small children would frequently point and exclaim "Red Dog!" when we walked or ran past. We still get it from time to time. My lil' miniature Kelpie. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 A friend's husband refused to believe that Trouble was a Labrador because she's not fat... go figure? T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe001 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Try having a black German Shepherd - yes they come in black - no he is not a Belgium Shepherd. I even had a person whisper dickhead under his breath at me one day. Whatever - I like Belgiums as well. But seriously, some male labs are getting more jowly but if Chloe is the one in your photo - wow. Not one of those at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Best Dogs! Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I have a dalmation (I love it. I love you little old lady. It made a rather depressing day a little better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Sid is still a pug for the most part. Sometimes a Boston, sometimes a staffy cross. Occasionally a pit bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I was asked if I have a "designer dog" not sure what combination my Italian Greyhound was supposed to be. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkycat Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 My Borzoi is an Afghan, a Saluki, a poodle x greyhound and a GOAT ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keshwar Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Once While out walking a young Lochie I had a young guy race up to me all excited telling me he had a dog just like that at home, a labradoodle. Um no this is an Afghan Hound, was my slightly miffed reply. SparkyCat not sure what it is with sighthoundss and Goats but my old boy Faxon was once called a Goat.

silentchild Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hahaha I always get told I have a border collie, a koolie, or some weird crossbreed. The best thing is when they argue after I tell them she's an Australian Shepherd. ???? "There's no such thing!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Kaos is often mistaken for a GSD. OK I walk him with Diesel, who is a GSD, and he is rather tall for a Kelpie, but he is still fairly obviously not a GSD :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsmum Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Whitney is blue great dane, quite small. I get told she is a weimaraner or a dane cross. I obviously have dane envy, and can't accept the dog I have "is not a pure dane" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitney is blue great dane, quite small. I get told she is a weimaraner or a dane cross. I obviously have dane envy, and can't accept the dog I have "is not a pure dane" :laugh: I just don't get it. I mean - I often ask what a dog is if I can't guess (one at day care the other day - looked like a corgi x - but it was a griffon x bulldog) AND I often bite my tongue when I'm told someone owns a "Fantabadoodle" or other made up cross- but why would you argue with someone over what they say their dog is. What a waste of energy. I might walk away thinking they're an idiot - but I wont waste my breath saying it. :laugh: Even when people tell me what they think Scottie has in him (lots of suggestions of Kelpie - I doubt it) I just smile, nod and say "probably" ...

Rozzie Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 When I had my Terv, he would get called a wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verve Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Sadly many people ask what is he? and my reply is a Silver standard poodle, response "are you sure?" majority of people think he is a groodle or labradoodle or poodle X and then assume i'm disappointed because he's only a poodle!!!

grizabella Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 My saluki has been mistaken for an Afghan, which is fair enough I guess. I did have one person ask me very seriously is she was a cross between a greyhound and a shih tzu! Err... no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
