My dog is NOT a chihuahua!!

Welcome to "my dog is NOT a....." club

In my case people think that Chuck is a Husky, it's funny-annoying since Mals are from America where all these people also live and Huskies actually are from Asia where most of these people have never been

Aspen, the Mini Border Collie, & I completely understand your frustration.  *nod our heads*

Edited: to correct grammar, I hope. :)

 Mini border collie?! Bwahahahahahahaha!

Rascal gets mistaken for a chihuahua all the time. He does rather look like a long-haired chihuahua, if you're unfamiliar with papillons.

You know the old adage, "When all you have is a hammer, all the world's a nail"? When the only breeds people know are chihuahuas and ____, then......... :)

 Ena is also not a Chihuahua. It shocks me, still, when people call her one, because she looks NOTHING like a Chi, and weighs 13 lbs!

 Josie was called a great dane today, lol! Some people ask if she is a min pin or a 'full size' dobe.

Don't even get me started on Kaiser...he is a mix breed for sure. Most likely lab/great dane.

Wyatt is sometimes a bullmastiff puppy or a pit bull.

The one that constantly amazes me is how many people ask if my AKK are Shibas...uhhhh, no. I mean, there are black and tan Shibas, but most that you see around here are the classic red, and my dogs are either black/white or gray/white.

Aspen, the Mini Border Collie

LOL!  Get him some mini sheep. 

I've had people tell me Twister couldn't possibly be a JRT.  When I assure them he is indeed a JRT, they look at me pityingly and shake their heads.  lol  It doesn't bother me because my Labs were all Field bred and would have been laughed out of the show ring.  I've had years of practice when it comes to people telling me my dogs aren't the breed I think they are. I kind of like having two mixed breed dogs but even they cause people to speculate on their breed.  When I tell them I don't know, some of them then tell me what they are.  Hmmm, I'm not sure how THEY know, when I don't. :)

I was asked once if Max was "one of those mean pit bulls who wants to bite someone's face off" .... umm ... no, he isn't a pit bull and no, he isn't interested in biting anybody's face.

Bevo is a greyhound.  Chyna & Brutus are ""mean pit bulls."

I've learned to correct the people about their breeds & them move on without further discussion.  It's just easiest that way.

 Tootsie is a beagle. Umm no. It must be because shes a tri.

I've heard everything on Casey - from chihuahua to co-jack....

I just tell them he's a rescue - and I really don't have a clue - and it really doesn't matter anyways!

 Maggie is a mix, likely BC/Cattle Dog, but I've gotten someone who swore she was a husky/dalmatian and a number of people who would not hear of her being anything but an Australian Shepherd! :P

Ziva is a purebred JRT according to a number of people I've met and the animal control officer that picked her and her brother up at 8wo thought she was a GSD/Lab mix lol.

Kes hasn't gotten anything far fetched yet, but I've only had him since March so there is plenty of time for that lol.
