What are the funniest things someone has ever said to you about your dogs?

• jenns Posted : 7/17/2007 8:28:09 PM I had someone ask me if Zoe was a miniature pinscher.  Maybe a long one with floppy ears and a dwarfism condition! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• mrstjohnson Posted : 7/17/2007 8:30:26 PM It always amazes me the number of adults who have to ask if Charlie is a boy or a girl while they are rubbing his tummy.  I know he doesn't have the jewels anymore but the rest of his goods are right there.  Makes you wonder?? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• BEVOLASVEGAS Posted : 7/17/2007 9:00:37 PM I am frequently asked if Bevo (male, black/rust Dobe) is Schatzi's (Black/Tan, Dachshund) mom.  Ummm, not exactly!!!!!!   Bevo gets mistaken for a greyhound pretty often, & I have argued with another customer in PetSmart, because he was convinced that Bev was a pit bull. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Liesje Posted : 7/17/2007 9:06:03 PM I don't even HAVE my dog yet, but the other day I had a one-on-one with my boss and told him I was getting a German Shepherd and this shocked/frightened look came over his face and he said "Oh my gosh, is it dangerous?!?!"  [8|]   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 7/17/2007 9:14:44 PM One day at the dog park a guy was horrified to overhear me telling someone that Max was a mutt from the shelter.  His brothers girlfriend is a breeder and he "knew" Max was a purebred southern blackmouth cur.  Those dogs are pretty much unheard of in this part of the country and there are an awful lot of generic looking yellowish puppers with black faces running around.  They can't all be purebreds.

• timsdat Posted : 7/17/2007 9:50:43 PM I've had people ask about my shelties "do they shed".  I said no I have this hair on my pants and shirt as a fashion statment.  "Here's your sign".       0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Meralee Crowl Posted : 7/17/2007 11:13:11 PM I volunteer with a rescue group. One of our volunteers found a Blue Merle Sheltie on the way to the dog showing at Petsmart on Saturday. I had 3 different people tell me that there was no way she was a pure bred dog. One person claimed she was an Austrailian Cattle Dog. Another suggested a Sheltie/Border Collie mix. My favorite comment about one of our rescue dogs was about a min pin boy with natural ears and tail. A woman came by and declared that we had her sister's missing min pin. We called the sister to get details and turns out, her dog had cropped ears, a docked tail, and was a FEMALE!!!!! So this dog managed to re-grow it's ears, tail, and get a sex change. As for comments about my dogs, someone asked me if my 22 pound Manchester Terrier mix was a Doberman. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• miranadobe Posted : 7/17/2007 11:25:58 PM tonight we were in the pet supply store, letting Gracie watch the fish, when a woman who seemed hopeful to greet my dog asked "Does it bite?" Next time, I will learn to say, "Only when I tell her to."  instead of laughing.   Another favorite (which folks have heard here before) is the woman who thought my dog was a deer running on the beach.[8|] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I have had people ask me if Romeo is a miniature fox? [8|]  I said yes, and they were in awe of "the funny looking fox."  Okay, yeah sure whatever. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• huskymom Posted : 7/18/2007 7:05:44 AM Well Crusher gets the Wolf thing all the time.  I blame it on movies.  I had one woman who claimed to have been breeding Sibe for a long time tell me that Crusher had the best conformation in a dog she had ever seen...[8|]  Aside from being almost 90 pounds, he has a very narrow chest, a completely too long body, and slightly turned out paws.  Plus he has a pinched ear from his litter mates.  I mean he's beautiful, but come on... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• micksmom Posted : 7/18/2007 8:28:10 AM ORIGINAL: ron2 People have asked me if Shadow was a wolf. That actually makes sense, since he can look like one....   I had some one insist that our Husky/GSD mix was a wolf hybred.  But, likyou said, Ron, it made sense because of his looks.  I think the funniest was when a guy in the pet supply store thought Mick (the dog in my avatar) was an albino Lab.  He didn't want to hear about the dudley thing, that Labs only come in 3 colors or that Mick was half English Setter.  Nope, I had me a rare albino Lab. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Anonymous Posted : 7/18/2007 8:42:19 AM I think it's funny when people ask me what Patton is and I say, "Australian Cattle dog mix". And then they say, "Oh, a DINGO!!!!" That has happened several times. I am beginning to have little tolerance for the Maryl Streep, "A dingo stole my baby!" quote too. It's getting old. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
