Nae_Nae_Nookie Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I have a rat terrier & they confuse her with a chihuahua or fox terrier. My shih tzu I don't get so much confusion,except once someone thought he was a lhasa apso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieangel Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 People often think Charlie my springer is a cocker because he is a smaller working strain springer. I walk a flat coated retriever and I haven't met a single person whilst out walking with him that has actually known what he is,they usually think he is a cross breed :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendalyn Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 People think Buck is a black lab. He's a mutt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon_C Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 [color=darkred]My Bullmastiff, Charlie gets confused with a Boxer because of his red colour. I don't know what people would say if he was fawn.[/color] :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Bitch Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Conar, ye old monster Samoyed, has been mistaken for a Great Pyr. Our liver spotted Dalmatians were always being called Dal/Choc Lab mixes, because "everybody knows that ALL Dalmatians are black spotted." :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairn6 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Toto is often called a scottie or a snauzer, and Shadow is called a collie but then I think he might have collie in him anyway who knows. He weighs 40lbs a little big for a sheltie and a little small for a collie. We call him a Shollie. Mandy no one even tries to guess her breed we know she has terrier in her and a bunch of who knows what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieMaya Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 [quote name='hillside']Conar, ye old monster Samoyed, has been mistaken for a Great Pyr. Our liver spotted Dalmatians were always being called Dal/Choc Lab mixes, because "everybody knows that ALL Dalmatians are black spotted." :roll:[/quote] There was a liver-spotted Dalmation puppy at Petsmart last month, and he was so cute! I had never met a liver-spotted Dal before. Gorgeous! Anyway, people are always asking me what breed Jackie is, but nobody ever makes a guess. She's a mystery to everyone - LOL! My guess is that she's Golden Retriever/German Shepherd/Collie, but nobody really knows. People always assume that Maya is purebred Golden, but she's a Golden/Husky mix.

ObedienceGrrl Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Very few people know what the hell Tater and Mister are..... Most people ask if Dakota is part wolf or mixed with yellow lab. Nope, shepherds do come in white! And they don't believe that Hunter is pure because he's got a lazy ear (that's what I call it.....!!). So what if his ear doesn't stand.....I happen to like it that way, thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadooshkinz Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 For the short while i've had Clea, I've had loads of people ask me if she's a Lab puppy.. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SizzleDog Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 you'd think people would know what kind of dog Ilsa is - I mean, she's clearly a dobe! However, here's the list of what she's been mistaken for (let's see if I can remember them all.. probably not) ~ greyhound (I get this one all the time - even though Ilsa is cropped and docked) ~ red nose pit bull (NO idea where they got that one!) ~ chocolate lab/doberman mix (sorry guys, they come in four colors!) ~ ibizan hound (I can see that one... sort of) ~ a "really skinny" rottweiler (hmmm...) ~ great dane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 well, Free has been mistaken for a Lab, she's a mix but to the untrained eye she could pass for a lab. Laurel no one ever knows what she is, and I get asked a lot of questions about her. well, except for a drunk wandering down the sidewalk who yelled at me for having such a huge Pit Bull......I had to laugh, because Foxhounds are all legs, and PB's usually arent. Laurel weighs less then Free but is taller than she is, and its all legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincoandDahlilasgirl Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 [quote name='DivineOblivion19'][color=indigo]For Divina I've gotten: *Pekingese :o *Mini Pit Bull *Mini Boxer *Pug *Rat Terrier For Cori, people usually don't know. I usually gets asked what kind of dog she is or what kind or mutt she is. It is rare someone actually knows what she is and people don't usually try to guess.[/color] :lol:[/quote] some people...my friend has dog thats the exact breed as divina so thats how i know what divina is.

imported_Kat Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Meg was called a sheltie once when we were down at the park :roll: Shes a little smaller than usual Border collies because she has working parents, and this idiot argued with me one day that she couldn't be a border collie :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mutts4Me Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I"ve had several people ask if Sasha was a chow. Like, an actual chow-chow, not a mix thereof. I say "kinda" because I like the reaction :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolk9s Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I've had people ask me, in all seriousness, if Jesse is a long haired black lab. Yep, one them rare one with upright ears too! I've been asked if he is a black collie too. Brittany has been confused with a Catahoula Leopard dog. I've been asked if Candy is a Lab puppy.

If it's black, it must be a Lab :crazyeyes: The Bull Boys are always called Boxers. Even my neighbor, who has an APBT, says, "Hello cute Boxer!" whenever he sees Grant. Brando has been called a Greyhound. Harry is a GSD or GSD mix. He's also been called a Pharoah Hound and a Whippet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddysMom Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Many people have said about Buddy "Oh what a pretty border collie" or "border collie mix eh?" I just say I hope so ... and I think so! For sure he's a mutt but I love when people think he's got some or alot of BC because I think they're the coolest breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malamum Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 The only thing my two get confused for is huskies but I guess that is perfectly understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
