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

    • Puppy
    The vet called Rosie "9 pounds of evil"....him and Rosie have a very um...special relationship. Really he does like her, she was just showing herself at the moment. Just the way he said it was hilarious

    I was walking Ellie and someone commented on what a pretty cocker spaniel I had....Ellie is very obviously a golden and NOT a cocker spaniel!
    • Gold Top Dog
    For a while I thought so too.. especially when she was a puppy (very wrinkly.. lol). But this guy was convinced she was a purebred. Which is why he was so disappointed when i said "mutt".

    ETA: I've also never seen a real basenji with my own eyes. Very rare in my area. Anyone that does have one, certainly wouldn't let it breed with a mix.

    I had someone in Petsmart ask me if Shiloh was a golden retriver.... I mean come on did she look like a Golden?

    I've been trying to think of something....funny.
    LOL....I guess the only funny thing would be when they look at point and say "Look at the BASSET HOUND"...haha. That strikes me funny, but I guess to a layperson "all hounds look alike"??

    We frequently get people asking us how old Shadow is.  When we say she's 9, they ask "months?".  Um  no, she's nine years old.  The GREY on her face is from age.  [8|]  But she's small so they think she's a puppy black lab.  She's got lab in her, but she's no puppy.

    And people ask me all the time if Tasha is a cattle dog.  I say, "don't know, she's a mutt".  One guy that I said that too, laughed a little, then i said, "yup, an all-around All American" and he laughed harder.

    Otherwise I've not heard that many funny things.  Kota was listed as a chow/shepherd mix at the shelter.  [8|]  He weighs 20 pounds....

    At a UKC obedience trial in Dayton a number of years ago, a spectator came up to me and stated,  "That is a long nosed red rott.  They are very rare, I am going to get one."  Needless to say, Reggie, the natural ear red doberman and I had a pretty good laugh.  The cutest mistaken identity was a kid asking us on a walk.
    " Why did you cut off your Lab's tail?"  The most remarkable, the kids who looked at the Malinois and the Terv and asked if they were the same kind of dog.  Well yes they are essentially, every where in the world accept the AKC.

    I take Harley to work with me, and there is a woman that has come in twice and has told me both times she thinks my dog is half coyote [8|].  I think I laughed about it the first time, but the second time I was thinking, is this woman serious?

    I'll bet you all didn't know Gypsy's an American Bulldog![8|]


    [:D]Well Sally is a Cane Corso mix, a Tiger Pit Bull, and my personal favorite, a pit bull/pug mix (this was told to me by a woman who owns a pug).  Jack is a "curly lab."

    I work part time at a place that gives horseback rides to the public.  On one ride one of the horses snorted and the girl riding him started yelling, "OMG, why is he growling!?!!?"

    A little boy came up to us in a pet store last weekend and said Kujo looked like Siruis Black off Harry Potter (in his dog form obviously) hehe

    Let's see, my black Lab mix is apparently a pit bull. 
     
    My Pembroke Corgi was called a German Shepherd.  That's right, ma'am.  She's just a rare dwarf Shepherd with a docked tail. [8|] 
     
    My Lhasa apso also has a underbite, and so he's an evil dog.  Well, he is, but it's funny to hear.
     
    My Pom mix has gotten me yelled at for buying a designer breed (he's a rescue) and he's been called a fluffy pug, and a peke.

    I had a lady ask me a few weeks ago, "Why is your dog so fat?" Ummm...she is perfect weight.  Sure she has short legs and a long body but she certainly isn't fat! BTW this lady was well over 300 lbs. [8|]

    When I had a golden retriever I had people say all the time, "Oh what a pretty golden lab." [8|]  What the heck is a golden lab??? [sm=huh.gif]
