does it ever bother you?

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

All of mine are mistaken for the opposite gender all the time, except for Winston (who is very obviously male, and most people just assume Dobes are anyway). Personally, I think Morgan is as feminine as Rottweilers get and people still think she's a male simply because she's a Rottweiler. I think Tango's pretty feminine too, but it seems that her colours or something throw people off and they think she's male. Her name doesn't help either, as there are more male dogs named Tango than female. That, and I don't "dress" her in girl collars. She wears either teal or green most of the time (pr her brown leather collar), and a brown leather leash. I doubt it'd help if she was wearing a pink collar anyway though. It doesn't really bother me too much unless I have to say "she" or "her", etc. over and over and they still don't seem to get it.

Colbi is ALWAYS mistaken for a boy! Just because she's a big black dog (she's really not that big), and because of her name. Colbi is used as a girl and a boy's name. Even when I do tell people, "She's a girl.", they always end up saying, "Good boy!" after.

I think black dog = boy in a lot of people's minds. Raven ALWAYS gets called a boy! I got her a pink collar today, maybe that will help . I mostly got it because the light sparkly pink looked so sharp next to her black coat though. I'm not too bothered by it really, though it amazes me how every single person we have met so far has immediately called her a he!

NOPE...wont work! i have coco in a PINK Collar and a PINK leash...not to mention when they meet her, i say "she's pretty rambunctious" but they still just dont get it! Grr...

I think a lot has to do with names, too. It seems many of you who are frustrated have dogs with names that could be male or female.

[K9soul]

In my case name doesn't seem to matter since they think she's a boy before ever learning her name . But really it doesn't bother me much. I don't get angry about it.

Everyone calls Frankie a he. It doesn't bother me too much, I just correct them and leave it at that. However, I do have friends that know she is a she and still call her a he. I think it's a mix of black crazy dog named Frankie. Sometimes I'll just call her Franny or Francis and people realize pretty quick that she is a she.
