What's the Weirdest Question Strangers Have Asked About Your Dog?

"What kind of weird looking German Shepherd dog is that?"

A comment about Katie.

I guess some people just don't know enough dog breeds to recognize an Akita when they see one! Hope Katie's feeling weren't hurt, but knowing her, she probably just chalked it up to their ignorance as a lowly human! She is, after all, Queen, right?

Awww, I had a big squishy Akita in my store the other day who looked a LOT like Katie, there was no mistaking his breed. He was also a total doofus, slobbered all over me when I knelt down to pet him. Most akitas I meet are a little reserved with new people, so the tongue-lashing came as a surprise!

"Do they all have names?"

Seriously!! I get that one all the time! No, I just yell "Hey You" til the right dog responds!!

Laughed out loud at that one Glacier. Too funny.

The one that gets me is when people say "Dogs have personalities?" Really, that is the dumbest question - of course all five of mine have personalities and they are all different. Geez.

When we were at the dog park once, this teenage girl and her Mom followed us around INSISTING that Fozzie was a baby wolf!

"That's a baby wolf isn't it!!!!"

"No... he's 3 years old. He's a Husky, Corgi mix."

"Uh-uh, I know a baby wolf when I see one, look Mom!"
"Oh yeah that's a wolf for sure. Those ain't allowed at the dog park ma'am!"

*sigh*

Another time at the dog park, me and my friends were leaving because a giant Aussie mix was repeatedly attacking Fozzie, who just cowered under benches in fear of him. The owner of the assy dog told some other lady "Corgis are stupid!" right after we walked by them. Wow... that lady got an earful for her rude comment!!! "You think so?! Personally, I think dogs who attack other dogs for no reason are stupid! Stupidest of all is their owner who doesn't leave with her aggressive dog..." Corgis are magical. Who could hate them?

I get asked if Lily is a long-haired chihuahua all the time. I've even had people tell me there's no way she's a Pomeranian, that she MUST be a mix.

People are just really rude about Brennan because he's a Pit Bull. I get stupid stuff like "Is he a mix?" or "Is he a boxer?" Or "Does he bite?" Oh, and because he wears a gentle leader, it gets mistaken for a muzzle all the time. Yeah, I'm gonna bring my nearly 60 lb dog out in a muzzle around people and children. And he's sitting there wagging his tail looking like a dork for people to pet him, so he sure looks vicious alright

OMG! That is ridiculous! Rude, too.

People used to ask me if zues was a pitbull and why don't i crop his ears and tail and that always annoyed me.

As for blaze everyone thinks she's a wolf and when i say no she's a mal they go like oh then she must have wolf in her, she must be part wolf! and they do insist she does and even ask me if i would sell her to them lol they even ask: "is she vicious? aren't you afraid of her? Does she howl like wolves do?" DUH! all dogs howl for gods sake -__-

Titan is always mistaken for a husky, i guess some people can't tell the difference and when i say no he's an alaskan malamute their faces turn into once this girl said "you're a fool, the breeder played you that IS a mutt he's mixed with a german shepherd that is why he looks like an overgrown husky" lol surprisingly she did not annoy me i actually laughed at her.
