    Irish Boston Terriers...

    This one's a scream. I went to Petco to buy some fish supplies and I'm standing in line to check out. I have Shelby and Souffle with me and the couple behind me start commenting on my dogs. The husband says to his wife...
     
    Husband: "I think those are Pugs."
     
    Wife: "No, they're not. They look like Irish Boston Terriers."
     
    Husband: "Are you sure?"
     
    Wife: "I'm positive. They look like Irish Boston Terriers."
     
    Now I'm trying extremely hard not to die laughing. At one point the wife says to me...
     
    Wife: "Those are Irish Boston Terriers right?"
     
    Me: "Wrong, they're Mexican Boston Terriers."
     
    Lord have mercy. [:D]
     
    Anyone else have funny stories along the same lines?

    You should have told them to stand back because they were dangerous Fighting Irish Boston Terriers.

    I'd upload a picture here, but my browser/connection won't let me out here in the boonies.

    That's a good one.... where the heck did someone come up with Irish Boston Terriers?
     
    At least the breeds Gracie is most-often mistaken for (greyhound or Rottweiler) are actual breeds!

    I'm not sure what he is.  Some sort of terrier mix.
     
    Shar-Pei's are wrinkled. [linkhttp://www.dogbreedinfo.com/sharpei.htm]http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/sharpei.htm[/link]

    A lady at a little outdoor cafe where we brought Max one day wanted to make sure that he wasn't *one of them mean pit bulls that wants to bite my face* before she came over near him. Ummm. Yeah.  He really looks like a mean put bull. [:D]

    LOL you are too funny! Great answer!!


    As Dogo owners, we get told our Dogos are pit bulls and are very dangerous all the time. Mind you we get told this by people who wouldn't know a Chihuahua from a Great Dane. Well sometimes out of exasperation we will make up stuff to tell people. This is what a friend of mine from the Dogo club told a particularly annoying lady.

    One day this lady was insisting our Dogo was dangerous and asked me 'If it wasn't a Pit Bull, then what was it?!' I told her the dog was a Jamaican Beer Dog and that their purpose was to guard beer casks at breweries in Jamaica. The lady totally bought it, and I can imagine her spreading around the story of the big white Jamaican Beer Dog.

    I took Maddi swimming today and at one point a guy almost didn't let his dog meet her because "that's not a husky, it's a wolf!" At least he didn't argue with my when I said "No, she's not. She's a malamute."
     
    Another time a woman thought that she was a Norwegian Elkhound [8|]...

    Everyone calls Jetta a poodle. No matter where I am with her, someone will say: "oh, what a cute poodle."
