Haven't heard this one before...

[wolf_Q]

I get a lot of weird guesses on all my dogs breeds (malamute, german shepherd, akita, samoyed, wolf, coyote, etc.) but this is one I've never heard before. I had Skya at work with me and somebody asked me if she was a Shar-pei. I can't think of a single characteristic that would make her look even remotely like a shar-pei. What is the weirdest breed guess you've had about your dog?

[luvofallhorses]

some people think Buster is a beagle. and he's a coonhound big difference there.


Sharpei really? I wouldn't have noticed. seriously where I work at the animal shelter we had a purebred sharpei nobody came looking for she was AWESOME and it took her months to get a home but she got the best one out there.

Hmmmm... Anna was always thought to be PART wolf. I know that's not weird. Everyone honestly thought that.

Rosie, none of it.

Hank? Hmm, well, it's still a guessing game at this point - Beagle with Boston Terrier/Boxer/Chihuahua

Honestly. Hank has not GAINED! He is still 8 pounds and he is 11 weeks old.

That's pretty tiny.

A Shar-pei?...I had someone ask me if Layla was a Border Collie in Petsmart.

[ramanth]

LOL!! That is weird.

Haven't gotten any strange guesses about my two, which is surprising, given how funny Chipper looks.

[critter crazy]

I havent gottena nay weird guesses about any breeds, but people always ask me if shep is realy old, cause he is grey! lol!!

Deer?

Someone wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

[cyber-sibes]

LOL!! That is weird.

aaaaa, I'm still wondering about Chipper.....

A Shar-pei?!?

They get mistaken for malamutes, people ask if they are part wolf. No one has asked if they are Shar-peis yet.

There's a lot of International families here in the Navy Housing - one middle-eastern girl asked me what kind of animals they were - wolves or foxes!

[shais_mom]

Reminds me of when someone asked Zippy if her Boxer's were Rottweilers.

[Suki Wingy]

Maybe they just mixed up the names. I knew someone who would mix up the names of the breeds Basenji and Borzoi. They knew the difference just sometimes they'd mix the names up.

As for me, no one knows what Niño is so I've heard pretty much everything.

[k9krazee]

A Shar-Pei? Hahahaha. That's too funny.

[4 Dog Mother]

I've had some strange guesses but I can't remember them right now. It's that age thing again. A lot of people think that Dakota is an extremely large Dalmation. Some are very surprised that Danes come in other colors besides brown. However, I don't see nor can I even think how anyone would see any Shar Pei in Skya!

~~ Bowser ~~





Bowser was a *unique* mixture ...
Best Guess by Doc Mike was he was a pretty even "mix" of Husky + German Shepherd + CORGI.

* His head was a good model for a Husky - with a GSD Paint Job.
* His always *waving* Tail was pure Husky
* His Body shape and those super-short legs were CORGI
* His FURR was Husky - double coated and with enough FLUFF for a dog 4 times his size!
* Temperment was GSD with the Husky desire to *wander* and hunt.
* Personality = A Friend to ALL Bi-Peds, K-9s, and KATs

What did other folks think he was???
'Bout everthing known to man ... in all combinations.

First time I bought him his County License Plate, one of the Dawg Ketchers was
in the office looking over Carol's shoulder as she typed Bowser on with Cinder & Smokey ...
He exclaimed "A WHAT? A Husky / Shepherd / CORGI ?? I'd like to see THAT dog!"

I invited him out to the Bus for Show & Tell - he gladly came outside!
Bowz hopped out and danced around in the lot ...

"I never would have believed THAT combination - but I think you may be right!
I do see all three in there ... *CUTE* little Guy!"

< sniff >
*Miss ya*, Bowz!!
