I was surprised how many show people in our KC seemed to have never heard of a Malinois. I mean, have they never watched Westminster from beginning to end?

Definitely that meerkat for baby Savvy


And goat for Hannah the Greyhound

I have a purebred FOX.


Yeah, most of the time I get fox or GSD, which she is a Shepherd mix, but fox? Seriously? I'm sorry but how often do you see someone walking a fox?

Casper normally gets pit bull, American Bulldog, Boxer and Great Dane, but once, I was walking him and other dogs and this guy pulled over and ask me if I wanted to breed my Weimaraner to his? I ask what Weimaraner and he pointed to Casper!



Ronon has been called a Great Dane a lot, Doberman, Whippet, Pit bull, German Shepherd and the most common is- he is called a Tiger Dog!



Jack gets called a Pug all the time!

When Stan was smaller, I took him to a flea market and got that comment every few feet. It was a total WTF experience.

Coyote. All. The. Time.

Gsd a lot but I allow that with a smile.

That Buster is a beagle. Yeah he's a tall beagle alright.

Judge is a wolf/coyote. Hobie is a wolf. LoLa is a Boxer.

I'm actually shocked that nearly everyone asks me "Is that a Silky Terrier?" considering I had never even HEARD of the breed until after getting Jackson and learning the differences between Silky's, Yorkies and Australian Terriers.

But pretty much everyone says Yorkie or Silky. I think I had one really off-the-wall breed guess a while back once at Petsmart but I honestly cannot remember what they guessed.
