So normal nicknames... are what they are, I guess. I mostly just have issues with people who can't say or write the kind of dog they have (Shiatsu, Lopso Apsa, Rockwilder).
Rockwilder and Lopso Apsy/a annoy the crap out of me. Mostly because 1) last dog was black and tan, usually misidentified (even when she was greying) as a Rottie puppy and people ALWAYS said it wrong and 2) my gma has Lapso (LHASA, spell check!! Jeez, even spell check gets it wrong!!) Apsos so it just annoys me.
Dotsun/Datsun annoys me so badly. Doxie is fine.
Pibble/Pittie/etc is so horrible. Pibbles don't dribble basketballs on courts, and there's nothing to pitty about the APBT. Red nose/blue nose is rediculous... What about the black nosed ones, huh?
I grew up using "heeler". Never heard ACD till I was on a dog forum. (Been in WI since I was 1yr)
Please, for the sake of the gods, no one say Dobie. It is either a Dobermann or Dobe.
I always say/spell Rottie because that is like the only breed who's full name I misspell, lol. I'm always putting extra letters in.
