Gizzy has gotten called a pit a few times but when I correct and say she's border collie they just say "she doen't look like a collie, I thought they were orange with long fur" I guess they only know collies as the kind lassie was. They keep on insisting she's not a collie.
Then when I don't have Giz with me and I start to talk about her to someone I mention she is a border collie and they just say "like Lassie?" Urrr... BCs are one of the most popular breeds how can so many people not know what a BORDER collie is?
What I even find funnier is at work people call their own dogs some other name. Like most pit bull owner will spell it PET BULL on the sign in sheet and any small dog is a poodle or chiw. no matter what anyone else tells them, any large dog is a German Shepard. Seems like they think there are only three choices and thats how they decide on their own. When the vet tells them something differnt they are like "huh? what is that?"
