    Same w/Gracie.  People presume because it's a Doberman, it must be a male.

    After I told some guy at the dog park that Max was some sort of shepherd and lab, he just insisted that "No, no, he's a purebred Belgian Malinois.  I can tell.  I have a friend who has a girlfriend who is a breeder." Ummm.  I really don't think a purebred Belgian Malinois would have been wandering down a county road without ID tags, playing hide-n-seek with the tomato trucks. And he surely wouldn't have languished in the shelter for 10 days waiting for someone to come find him.

    you would be surprised. The randomly roaming dogs that make it into ABMC rescue. Got a photo, he may just be a malinois.

    True^  I was at a shelter around here not too long ago and saw a purebred (really) Analtonian Shepard.

    Most people can figure out that my Great Danes are Great Danes even though their ears are not cropped.  The only one that people question me about is my harlequin.  Everyone thinks that she is a Dalmation.  I've never seen a 120 lb. Dalmation running around.  Or maybe it's because she has a blue eye... When I inform them of her correct breed I always get, "oh I didn't know that they made them in that color"...?[linkhttp://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h56/gr8danzgirl/?action=view¤t=skylarprettyeyes.jpg][/link]

    LOL, I've gotten, "What is that?" too. I usually say, "A dog." and walk away, letting them wonder.

    the funniest ive gotten was a "vicious pit bull" after she licked a baby walking by when i wasnt paying attention ha
    oh and once an owl mistaked her for a rat and tried to attack her..

    I have three pb westies and I always get oooohhh what cute puppies .... how big will they get (all are fully grown)
    or oh I had a mutt that looked just like that she will get bigger (she is 4 right now)
    and my favorite after asking what kind of dog they are and I answer West Highland WHITE Terriers people ask if they come in any other color [>:]

    -Oh, is she a Pit Bull?
    -No, she's actually a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
    Which is follow by...
    -Like I said, she's a Pit Bull.
    or...
    -Oh, are they as vicious as Pit Bulls? - Which triggers the discussion/lecture on how sweet APBT's are.
     
    My poor little Bully.

    Someone the other day thought that Ben was a baby Newfie because he is "too hairy to be a Lab".  [:D]

    People always asked me how big Stevie was going to be when he grew up, and insisted he was such a cute PUPPY.
