Anyway, what I was wondering is, has anyone had a stranger, or even a friend or family member call your dog a not so nice name? Or make a disparging remark about the breed?>>>.

Yep! Yep! Yep!

I told this story before,
we use to have a little poodle/terrier mix.
I thought she was the cutest little thing.
My mother-in-law use to say she was so ugly
and funny looking it made her cute.
(Use to bother me, I thought she was beautiful).

Last year we went to a dog show as spectators.
We brought Pepper along.
(Pepper is not a show dog, and we keep her natural)

My husband walked Pepper passed a Table and
the woman behind the table made a comment to him
"Your dog needs to be groomed"
My husband told her something not very nice.
(Pepper is my hubby's baby and doesn't like anybody
saying anything bad about her including me) lol
