Meet my pitbull I was told only pitbulls come in brindle "I guess she is the skinniest and tallest pitbull you will ever meet"



"the black one is a greyhound isn't it?",..... Yes she is..... "so what breed is the white and tan one?" Ahhh ... that is a greyhound as well

My dog Koosty is part pit, and who knows what else. Pit is the only part I know for sure. Nobody ever believes he has pit in him, though, because he's just a little taller than a cocker and doesn't have a wide mouth. Doesn't bother me too much, though, because it usually means that those people will actually give him a chance instead of just writing him off as a vicious pit.

The biggest problem I've had is with my family breeding AKC beagles. If they aren't tri-colored, then nobody believes they are purebred beagles, or beagles at all. That one really, really aggravated me as a kid, and still sort of bothers me now.

I've got a good one for you.I rescued an Akita from our local animal control.At first they listed him as a black lab.When someone with sense figured out what he eas they were going to put him down after 4wks.because of his breed.Thank God i got him on his third week.I still want to know how you confuse a lab with an akita?

lol I remeber the firsy Vet we took Shadow too insisted that Shadow was a cocker spanial..she is a border collie x Sheltie and anyone with a brain can figer that out because both breeds are VERY obvious and every lay person off the street has been able to guess correctly. lol

We have a Sheltie or Collie/Border Collie mix at the kennel I work at right now...one of my coworkers walked up to the lady and said wow, I've never seen a black and white sheltie in person. And the lady goes "Oh, shes a purebred border collie, we have papers" real snotty like. My coworker just said oh okay and walked away...and let me tell you, this dog looked just like Bijou, just black and white, and was about as big as a sheltie.

Well i will get people guessing Ritas breed all the time wrong, but they are just asking really, but one time i actually had some girl, i was in the drive thru and she saw Rita in the back seat and goes "oh its a Pittbull, cool , i have two of them," and i told her no she is not a Pittbull she is a Presa Canario a spanish breed very rare, & she actually goes, "are you sure??" LOL
Im like arent you supposed to own two Pittbulls? how can u not know she isnt one, besides she is twice the size of what a normal Pitt should be, but she thought i was confused and didnt know my dogs breed,. haha

[Vette]

I dont see what the point is of asking someone what breed their dog/s are if they are going to argue with out about what they think it is..

but no,, i havent had that happen yet.

[GiantSchnauzer]

Poodle?
Bouvier?
Airedale?
