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.

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

[CountryWolf07]

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.

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!!

[Giselle]

Deer?

[K9karen]

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.

LOL
I was just going to type that!



I remember being told that Bowser was half shep./half husky but I'd have to agree that there's corgi in there somewhere!

[Ginger's Mom]

Shar-Pei? That actually made me lol when I read it. Thanks.
Most people just ask what Ginger is. Those that do guess usually ask if she is a Samoyed. I don't think many people are aware of the American Eskimo breed.

Ah Mom, poor Chipper, no respect.

[IRescue452]

Most people ask what Autumn is. She's gotten golden retriever, cocker spaniel, irish setter even.

Naylee has gotten wolf, german shepherd, coyote, greyhound. She's so friendly but because of her looks people tend to act like my dog is a vicious thing that's gonna rip them to shreds.
