What have your dogs been mistaken for?

[PINNACLE 2,297]

 

I took my 10 month old pup (the one on the left) out for a walk on his own on Saturday to put in some extra basic training. As we walked down a bridleway three youths 15 ish were coming the other way, my dog went up to them tail wagging and one of the lads seriously said to me “is he a Great Dane?â€

 

I was speechless and just carried on walking thinking what a thick t*4t.

 

I quite often get asked if he is a Greyhound or Whippet or if she is a hairy Greyhound or a Deer Hound but a Great Dane takes the biscuit. I know I should have put him straight but I was really shocked.

 

ALSO

 

Is it me or do you also get that someone with a Labrador or similar asking “what sort of dogs are theyâ€

“Lurchersâ€

“Look a bit like Greyhounds to meâ€

“YEP they do don’t they, see yaâ€

 

My wife still spends 10 minutes trying to explain what a Saluki/Grey x Beddy x bitsa is.

 

 

He doesn't look like a Great Dane does he?????

a bit like one if your a townie who only vaguely knows what a great dane looks like.

 

had a choc border terrier x fox terrier repeatedly mistaken for a patterdale,

had a registered welsh sheepdog whom a dog warden insisted was a gsd x collie + tryed to enforce the irish version of the dda on me by insisting she "should be muzzled in public!" lol, didnt he feel like a real prik when i showed him her isds registration papers..... lol
