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

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|]
