Are your dogs or cats often mistaken for the wrong gender?

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Tango is almost always mistaken for being a male dog, I don't know why, maybe its her coat colour? Maybe its her name (Tango is seen as a male name it seems)? She looks pretty feminine to me, but maybe that's just because she's my dog. I rarely have anyone know that she's female unless I specifically tell them (and even then, some people don't seem to 'get it'!). Morgan is sometimes mistaken for a male, but not often. Winston or Tia never are. It doesn't really bother me, just kinda confuses me sometimes I guess. So, are your dogs every mistaken for the opposite gender?

Happy is ALWAYS mistaken for a boy. not one single person has ever called her "she" without me saying she is a girl. mostly I think its her name, its sounds pretty gender neutral to me, but I guess most dogs named "Happy" are boys lol

Blair is very often mistaken for a girl, also because of his name. I can only think of it as a boys name because I have never heard of a girl named Blair, but apperntly there was an old TV show staring a girl named Blair or something.

the rest are pretty clear as far as male-female goes.

everyone always refers to both of them as "him". Hahaha.

I voted no.

Duke: he just LOOKS like a boy, I don't know, but no one has ever thought he was a boy. Also you can tell when he barks, I think.

Ace: Nope, he just looks like a boy too and, like Duke when he barks you can also tell he's a boy because of his deep pitched voice.

Hobo: He can be mistaken as a girl. but you can tell he's a boy because he hasn't had his 'snip' job yet

Some people call Lucy a 'he' even though she wears a pink collar and leash. She doesnt look like he at all,and Kodie looks like he for sure.

Sooooo many people think Kiara's a boy. I think it's the black dog syndrom. So many people assume black dog = mean boy dog.

Simba is usually a she.. but I can see why since he's so prissy.
Nala is the only one who isn't mistaken often.

[binka_nugget]

Kai's always referred to as "she". I think it's cause of his fluffy coat.. it makes him "pretty" apparently.

[cali]

lol I would have guessed the other way round! I would not they Kai could possably be mistaken for a girl because his head is so broad and male looking..Kaeden on the other hand I could see mistaken for a girl because he has a finer head.

Molly is sometimes mistaken for a boy. I'm not sure why though. Prince is sometimes mistaken for a girl, because he is small and I guess his patriotic leash and collar make him look 'feminine'. Astra ,luckly, has always been called a she.

[sparks19]

Sometimes people mistake Teddy for a she but for the most part I am always talking to him when someone is near. So they often hear his name before approaching us Plus I think he looks like a boy lol

but we do get the odd person that says she.

For me... for some reason I always refer to the big dogs as he and the small dogs as she lol. No idea why

[Miss Z]

everyone always refers to both of them as "him". Hahaha.

Yes that happens to my two aswell, lol

[lute]

EVERYBODY calls Gracie a boy and Beanie a girl! even my mom mixes them up all the time.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Yeah, everyone just says "he" about all the dogs unless they ask first- it's kind of hard to tell what most dogs are at first in my opinion though!

[cocker_luva]

people always used to call Jesse a boy, because of her name.

[Zippy]

Zippy is alwas called a boy.She has a pink collar on.
