What breeds have your dog/s been mistaken for?

Sierra is mistaken for a wolf everytime we go anywhere.
Little kids run back to their parent's yelling "It's a wolf mommy!! A WOLF"


My sister's Husky Yukon was once mistaken for a Fox.
by a delivery man of less than average intelligence.
She and I had Quite the laugh after he left!

Many people actually recognize Micki, Mini and Kyra as Jack Russells Its amazing. We get a lot of people that call them Eddie, or Wishbone dogs. There have been times that Micki is called an Italian Greyhound, Mini a Beagle and Kyra a chihuahua, though. Heck, even we think it's true sometimes too

People usually think that Jack is a Lab puppy, they're usually surprised to learn he's a year and a half old Other people ask what hes mixed with and they always have to disagree with me when I say that our best guess is Beagle.

The majority of people recognize that Shadow is a Rottie. I can only think of one time we were getting Ice Cream and a lady came up to us and asked us what she was mixed with, that there was no way she could be purebred.

My Maggie is a beagle mixed with some unknown hound. Because she isn't very small, she is taller and thinner then the picture perfect beagle and she doesn't have any white like the majority of beagles, people have thought she was a small coon hound type.

Sara is a collie/english shepherd mix. She is bi-black. Everyone who meets her thinks she is a pure-breed border collie. However, she has the long nose and square butt of the collie, not the border. And she gets the color and shorter coat from the english shepherd.

Then there is Bucky who we are waiting to place in a rescue group. I believe he is at the very least part doberman, perhaps full. From the crappy pictures I have posted, I have gotten comments from australian shepherd, lab, to dob. From around the neighborhood, people think he is a pit puppy. He doesn't have the large head or broad shoulders that the pits have. But there are so many in this area, I guess it is natural to assume.

T.j gets mistaken for dalmation mix all the time, maybe because of his ticking, and he is always called a longhaired dalmation.

Zoey gets mistaken for a lab mix, sometimes a golden retriever mix. She has also been called a black setter, becuase of her feathering on her tail.
