what sort of comments do you get with your dog[s]?

[Suki Wingy]

I get "How old is he?" a lot they are surprised when I say 9. Also, "What kind of dog is he, dalmatian, right?"

[Freedom]

Are they related?

Are you a dog walker?

Are ALL of those YOURS???!!!

Look at the poodles!

Do you breed - have any puppies?

Mostly we get "are those all yours?" "Why do you have so many?" "Do you have a big back yard?" "Do you dog sit" They always asked if Snoopy was a dalmation. A few have always wanted a dog like Jack but they don't have a clue of what kind he is. Since Christy's are with me a lot when we are at the dog park they ask if Dakota is a dalmation (yes, a huge one!) Or they thought that Great Danes were all brown (like Scooby Doo). They think that Pippi and Tucker are still pups because they are small. The one that amazes me is when they ask if Dazzi is a pup. And of course, the one I always like is do they bite? Now why would I take 4 or 5 dogs for a walk if they bit? Could I possibly handle them if they decided they wanted to go after someone?

Far too many people think Digi is a Rottie or a rottie mix
1 Person thought she was a pure doberman when she was little.
Most people fall in love with her & she attracts people who want to pet her like flies on doo doo!! Its insane.. I can't go anywhere without be mobbed
Once in a while I get Does she bite? I say oh god no, shes crazy friendly. Then they ask, well why is she muzzled. I say, shes not, then I open her mouth wide
She gets stares all the time, esp. when shes walking & her fur is swaying. THen I hear wow thats a pretty dog!

& the annoying ones I get, OMG shes so thin, you need to feed her more! Trust me if she would eat half a cup/day I would be thrilled! But shes just not a big eater & when I do stuff food down her throat she still doesn't put on any weight.

I get that too! When Pepe is cut [poodle-cut] however I don't fight it.

I get:

'whoa that's a big dog!' -Which he is, ya know 100+lbs, he's also a lap dog :P
'how old is he?'
'what breed is he?'- and sometimes I have to explain how you get three breeds into one dog. :P
'kids stay away, that dog's vicious' -no actually he is quite the opposite
'stunning/beautiful/gorgeous/nice/pretty eyes' - ;D
'will he attack my dog?' -yes that's why I take him for walks in dog-crowded places
'beautiful dog!'

My favourite thing is when people go out of their way with their dogs just to avoid the 'scary' dog. But the best was when I was pet sitting my neighbour's dog, Cody(golden retriever). Cody is dog aggressive and only get's along with Blue because he has known Blue since he(Cody) was a puppy. Anyways so my Dad and I were walking the two of them and we see this women with these two cockapoo's coming towards us. I pull Cody behind Blue while we head single file up the sidewalk to Cody can't reach the dogs. I was about to head onto the road when the women walked on the road around Blue and my Dad then heads right towards Cody and me. I mean come on! The dog that has his teeth bared & ears back who happens to be a retriever or the big mutt-dog that's wagging his tail and grinning from ear to ear? >.<

Casey is a full Yellow Lab. Now that she is 12+ years old she is quite white in the face, however, it is still pretty obvious that she is a Yellow lab. Last time I had her to the vet a couple people in the waiting room asked what kind of dog she was. I think Casey was offended but I just sort of laughed.

SAGE:
How old is he? A lot of people think he is older because of his Blue merle.
Most people think he is either a aussie, border collie, mini aussie, or mini collie. Not very many people get his breed, I just don't understand it.
Also most people think that he is a girl, I don't know if it's him name or if he looks girly.
When I am showing him in rally or agility he seems to be a crowd pleaser because he loves to work and he always prances.

ZOEY:
If she's a flat-coat why is her hair not completly flat? Her hair does some weird flippy thing at the top of her head.
She does therapy work and wears her jacket everywhere. People always ask if she bites. If she's a therapy dog, why would she bite?
AWW What a pretty black irish setter or black golden retriever.

TJ:
OK.. let me guess he is dalmation and something else. I tell them no he's a english setter. They never seem to believe me.
He doesn't get to many comments, mainly everyone seems to think he is the cutest out of all three of my dogs.
