What's the Weirdest Question Strangers Have Asked About Your Dog?

[Varga]

Have any funny/weird comments or questions you've received from people about your dog? Please share

I get a lot of comments about Taggart which are not unusual - usually people just saying how pretty he is and what a big tail he has. Some people have commented that he kinda looks like a fox or a coyote.

I think the funniest question was when someone asked if he was part Papillon. I'd never though of that before but if you disregard the size difference, there is quite a resemblance! The people themselves had a Papillon with the exact colours as Taggart, so that just made it more funny. Like a mini version of him that's even fluffier, haha.

Someons once asked me if Jasper was a pit bull. Uh yeah, the 25lb, pointy-nosed, wirehaired variety!

People always comment on Zoee's eyes. And usually ask if she can see out of the blue eye.
Poor Taggart gets mistaken for a girl. His fur is so long it covers his boy bits. LOL But people always ask what breed he is.
Nothing weird, that I can remember anyway.

When Gracie was around, and we were waiting outside somewhere, it always amused me when people said trepidatiously (from a "safe distance") "Do you need help?" We'd play "get the leash" where I'd shake the leash and she's "attack" it ferociously, lots of teeth and growling, tail wagging the whole time! It always made me chuckle, as we knew it was a game, but she was big and black and apparently scary to some people!

"What kind of weird looking German Shepherd dog is that?"

A comment about Katie.

I guess some people just don't know enough dog breeds to recognize an Akita when they see one! Hope Katie's feeling weren't hurt, but knowing her, she probably just chalked it up to their ignorance as a lowly human! She is, after all, Queen, right?

OMG! That is ridiculous! Rude, too.

On one jog I had to stop a Bus Stop Corner, to wait on traffic to clear. There was a lady setting/waiting who ask...

"What's wrong with that Dog" (as she looked at My Female Becca).
"Nothing (I replied), she's perfect !"
"Are you sure (the lady said) why is her tail so long ?" (Becca has a full tail)
"Vitamins !" (I said as I smiled, jogged on)

It's amazing how many people think that Yorkies are born with bobbed tails.
