Oh boy, a thread I can really dig into....
Hannah:
Is that a horse?
How much does HE weigh?
Does he bite (as if big automatically equals evil)
How much does HE eat?
Does "it" live inside? (Disgusted face when I say yes.)
Where's it's saddle?
Is that part greyhound, mastiff, boxer, bloodhound, etc... ?
You mean it's still growing? :yikes:
Are you gonna breed her?
Why don't her ears stand up?
My friend had a lab (great dane, german shepherd, or other random breed) that's bigger than yours.
Is that one of them racing dogs?
Can I ride it?
My previous danes:
All of the above plus:
referring to my harles - Is that a dalmation?
Me: No, it's a harlequin great dane
Them: Are you sure it's not a dalmation? Great Danes don't come in that color.
It can really be tiring to take a great dane in public sometimes. I don't mind people who don't know, I'm more than happy to educate folks about my breed. It's the ones who ARGUE with me about what my dog is that really irk me.
