does it ever bother you?

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!

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.

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.
