    What are some of the funniest things you have heard?

    What are some of the funniest things you have heard?  As in about dogs or dog breeds?  Or how breeds are pronounced?
     
    One of the funniest to me is people who say Sh*tzu instead of SHih Tzu(Sheed Zoo).  I wonder why everyone thinks that the breed has a swear in it....[&:]

    There was an ad on the local internet classifieds.
    Free to good home 5 year old Weimanheimer.

    You'd be amazed how many people can't say "Dachshund". The spelling is even worse, lol!

    Teenie is a VERY cute Dash Hound.

    My neighbour thought Louise (poodle/cocker mix) was a golden retriever puppy.

    I guess rhodesian ridgebacks aren't that common but my goodness...indonesian ridgeback, razorback dog, "what kind of surgery did that dog have on it's back?" -referring to Wyatt's ridge. I also think it's hilarious when people tell me that there is no such thing as a black GSD and he's probably a lab mix. Also it's funny that people tell me that my german shepherd will most likely turn on me...

    Oh, can you imagine that adorable German Shepherd ever turning on you? Really. [:-]  I've always admired your dogs! Both of them, but I'd love to get a black German Shepherd [:D]

    Sorry, can't think of anything to post right now....I got distracted by cute puppies! [;)] lol

    I still can't get over the PetSmart cashier that told me my purebred Smooth Collie (see avitar) was part Pit Bull.  He told me that she HAD to be ... because of her long nose! [8|]

    I hear Weimaraner pronounced in some very funny ways...mostly by owners and I just want to correct then every time!  Wimer Eimer, Wimer Einer
    Then there is the Lhasa Apso as the Lapso Apso or Lapsa Apsa.
    I'm too tired to think of more, but I will later.

    when in dobermans my dogs were referred to as "shepperman pinchers".  I was also informed that she would turn on me when her skull did not grow and caused migrains.  On a walk with my natural eared red bitch,  someone wanted to know why I cut the tail off my ch. lab.  I was also informed she was a long nosed red rott.

    The most amazing thing was the kid who actually asked me if my belgians (terv and mal) were the same kind of dog.  Quite insightful especially since we are talking really hairy versus a smooth coat.

    In spite of the bushy tail curled over the back, the small pointed ears, and the four colors in the fur and the glow-in-the-dark eyes, this one lady thought Shadow was a mix of Black and Chocolate Lab. I should have been rude and asked her which line of Labs have small pointed ears that can be held up. But my manners got the best of me.
     
    Around here, Lab is king. So, any big dark colored dog must be a lab something.

    Someone once asked my if my couch potato hound was a pit bull. [sm=rotfl.gif]

    People are always asking me what kind of dog Sequoyah is.
    Sometimes they tell me how pretty the little "gray" dog is.

    She's a (dark liver) red merle Australian Shepherd.  No one up here ever sees the real working Aussies.

    oh goodness....
     
    I think I am starting to develop a tic from the number of people who say "I'm getting a golden retriever lab". Huh? Yellow lab?
     
    I've also heard "we are breeding our chocolate lab because he is such a great size - 110 lbs." Ughhhh shudder. [&:]
     
    "We have a purebred cockapoo". No, you don't. [:D]

    Tux and I were visiting once at a retirement residence and a lady walked up to me and asked: "Do you race him often?"  I didn't even try to explain.  I just said "No."
     
    I heard the doberman one about the brains swelling from a customs officer!

    Don't ya love it, Ron?  It's the same around here- if it's black, it must be at least part Lab.  What gets me is the Petfinder listings of dogs with erect ears who are listed as a mix of breeds with floppy ears.
     
    One of my pet peeves is the white/golden/fox red Lab thing.  Folks- they're all yellow.  The only time I bit my tongue was with my niece- she was thrilled when my good for mothing ex BIL promised to get her a Golden Lab.  I just went along with it- besides the fact that we all knew it would never happen, I dodn't want to correct her because she would have corrected her father, and then there would have been you know what to pay.
     
    I just saw two ads in the paper that got me- same "breeder".  I can't remember the breeds, but they were toys.  Anyway- noth ads advertised tea cup/tiny and regular sizes, but then went on to say they breed to AKC standards.  HUH?
     
    Oh yeah- another pet peeve- the tea cup and king/giant (Poodles, Yorkies, etc).
