I'm a great dane NOT a dalmatian!!!

[lute]

to us it's silly to think that a harl great dane could be mistaken for a dalmatian. but believe it or not it happends. when i had Jake everyone said "what a pretty dal!" "this is a dal right?"

i found this web page that explains the differances. dal or dane? (http://www.6stardanes.com/danedal.html)

[buttercup132]

BAHAHAHA wow whats gives it away maybe the HUGE size difference...or maybe it's the different everything:rolleyes: lol

[sammy101]

lol. they look so different,i dont know how people could say a great dane looks like a dalmatian.especially size.

[Alysser]

I personally don't see how people can mix the two up.

If you think THAT is funny, when I was young I had a goat as a pet. I used to walk the goat around on a leash. I will never forget the time I was asked "What breed of dog is that?" (My goat had 14 inch long HORNS) :eek: :rolleyes: :confused:

NOPE! It is the honest truth.

[BCollie_Kelly]

wow, I can't believe people mix the two breeds up...

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

Believe it or not, tons of people have asked me if Bailey is a Dalmatian. He is a merle Great Dane! :p I have also had people ask if he is a Rottweiler, Pit Bull, Blue Heeler... :rolleyes:

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I don't understand that at all. Dals and Danes look absolutely nothing alike in my opinion.

[Alysser]

OMG! That's scares me a little. :p

golden retriever?!?!HAHA!!!

Woah.... some of those people out there really need their eyes checked!!

At least when we correct people, they learn that just because a dog has spots, doesn't mean it's a Dalmatian. I know someone with a purebred Pointer who used to have to correct people who thought she was a dalmation, and another person I knew who had a German Shorthaired Pointer who got asked if she was part Dalmatian. Hello? Brown head, completely different shaped head, body, and brown spots, and still people thought Dalmatian??

That's what happens when people's only exposure to dog breeds are Disney movies - every spotty dog must be a Dalmation, and every long-coated dog must be Lassie ...

I knew a woman who had two Collies, one a Rough-Coated sable, and one a blue merle Smooth-Coat, and people who constantly say "Oh, you have a Lassie dog! And what kinda mix is that other mutt?"

Ah, well, educate, educate, educate!

[king2005]

OMG I'm laughing my head off, HAHAHA, The goat one was TOO funny! HAHAHA

People use to think my bunny was a cat! She was tied to the dog & was HOPPING & had long skinny ears, a fluffy tail & well, NOT a cat hehehe

My belly hurts fom laughing so hard!

[dab_20]

lol... Sometimes people will ask me if Sam is a Springer Spaniel... and one time someone asked me if he is some sort of long coated dalmation!!

[king2005]

OH I almost forgot!

1 couple thought Axle was a cat :eek:

FOr those of you who don't know who Axle is, hes a Common Snapping Turtle. Hes so friendly I can pet, nose kiss & he'll lay on my lap in the sun.

[jesse_3]

LOL!! The goat mistakened for a dog, a turtle mistakened for a cat!?! What the heck. How can you get dog breeds mixed up so much! Someone once asked me if Jesse was a pittie! Another person has asked if she is a BC too. It is insane with what some people come up with!

Steph, Jes, and Jemi'

[Alysser]

A pitbull?? With long hair?? :confused: lol. Sassy once got mistaken for a chi lol.

[king2005]

If I don't know the breed of a dog I ask & in most cases its a Mutt hehe

i actually like correcting people. i know they are leaving me flowing with info...probable more than they actually wanted to know. :p

[Key]

That is too funny! LOL! How do you mistake a turtle for a cat??

I had someone mistake my rats for ferrets once... I guess that could happen? :eek:

[wolfsoul]

People always mistake Visa's breed too lol. I've been asked if she is a wolf quite often. The weirdest ones I've been asked so far were flat-coated retriever and lab...
