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

    I have had people say to me that my dogs were the biggest Pits they have ever seen and they are not Pits even though I do like Pits. I have also had numerouse people come up to me and ask if the dogs bite, so I usually say they haven't yet but you may be the first!

    I heard a good one when I was at the county fair with Jack today. 

    Someone asked if Jack was a chocolate lab.  I answered that yes, he in fact was choclate.  The person then said "I have a lab.  It's just a regular one though." [8D]

    I get the wolf thing a lot too. I think Mochi looks pretty wolfy, but most of the idiots say Tiku looks 'just like a wolf.'

    I can't even tell you how much I hear, "where's the sled??" when I'm walking them. I don't find it funny at all. Maybe the first 100 times or so...

    Everyone asks me what kind of dog Kena is. The brown thing throws them off. For the average non-dog person, I can see that. He's also very muscular and rangy and his coat gets very thin in the summer. Not your typical 8 Below husky. In some photos he could be a dead ringer for a kelpie or something![:D]

    And he does the herding stalk/crawl thing sometimes too. Maybe I should take a closer look at that pedigree! LOL!

    One thing that bugs me is that everything thinks howling is growling. You should see them jump back! I know not everyone is savvy in dog body language, but when a dog is swirling around your legs like a kitty with his ears flat back, his head tilted up trumpeting 'Wubwubwuuuoooo!' C'mon! He obviously likes you! I hear, 'Oh, he doesn't like me' or 'Oh, he's not friendly' so much.

    I think one of the dumber things I've heard is that mine are not purebred, cuz REAL huskies ALWAYS have one blue eye and one brown.[8|]

    First off Wally the Greyhound:
    In addition to always being called a "she" (I guess 'cause he's dainty . . . I dunno) he has also been mistaken for a few different breeds but my favorite when was a drunken fool in Salem called him a Dalmation.  Last I checked Dalmations were white with black spots, not red with black stripes!!

    Teeny the Alapah:
    Always gets called a "he" (I guess because she's a bulldog and they must all be male) even when she's wearing her baby pink collar with her name on it.  She also gets called a pit bull everywhere we go.  I don't really mind the people who ask me if she is a pit bull, it's the people who TELL me she is a pit bull and refuse to hear otherwise.
