What breeds have your dog/s been mistaken for?

LOL! Malakai is MUCH too big to be a Lab!

lol, thats what i thought..but ya know..people just KNOW he's a lab.."thier friend has one thats twice as big!" lmao, ive had more than one person say that to me, id really like to see this giant lab! 2 times the size of my boy?..hmm that means they have a 270lb lab!! Wow, maybe we should call guinness up

Gonzo rarely is mistaken. Lots of people do say "he must be part Border Collie..." like I don't know my dog is a BC! It annoys me most when people act like they know more than I do about my boy, and they know he must be mixed. When he is not, he just isn't "pretty".

Fozzie gets an incredible number of guesses! I never truly appreciated how annoying it can be to have a mutt ^_^ neverrr. And most people are sure of their guesses... "He is a purebred Corgi, right?" "He must have some Basset in him! " "Is that a Basenji?"... wth! "Is that a miniature Husky?" yes, of COURSE he's a mini Husky! My favorite, which I get every time I go to Petsmart or whatever, as I'm walking this 9-inch tall little munchkin dog, "Ooh, what a pretty Malamute/Samoyed." It can be entertaining, but after all of the Malamute comments - even from people who are supposedly experienced with breeds, such as Petsmart groomers - it can get annoying. Sometimes, I just want to scream "WTH! Malamutes weigh well over 75 lbs, have thick fur, are NOT tri-colored, and do NOT have blue eyes!!!" ughha. But I usually just smile and say, "Mmhm. Maybe."
