    I don't have any pics of my pup to post, but picture a red/red nose Pit Bull with BIG erect ears. I've been asked a couple of times if she is a chocolate Lab, but for the most part people don't know until I tell them what she is. Here's the most common responses I get:

    "Oh she's such a sweet, beautiful dog. What is she?" (Pit Bull)
    "Oh my God (as they quickly back away after playing with her) those dogs are mean"

    or

    "That's not what they look like." (Obviously they don't know or they wouldn't have to ask)

    or

    "That's what I thought, they get such a bad rap."

    or they are surprised that she is so sweet and friendly.

    SURPRISE!!

    Heidi is sooooo pretty! I want her!

    Some people thingk Sadie is a Lab mix, because she is so small, for a purebred Labrador. I don't really have a pic that shows how small she is though. Sorry!

    With our bassets, the most common question is, "Are those beagles?" A lot of basset owners have said that people mistake their dogs for dachshunds.

    SO sorry! I wasn't sure exactly how to spell it, and so I went with what I *thought* was the correct spelling, but I guess I was wrong.

    lol...some of these are so funny. They had me laughing out loud.

    Sorry...*LabLoverKEB* you can't have her. She's MINE! lol

    everybodys usually wrong until they own one and join a dal board I guess we dal owners are more sensitive than other breeds owners since we're constantly asked the most stupidest questions anytime we're in public with our babies and our breed has a lot of urban legends going around it than most others. I guess we expect, since our breed gets alot of bad publicity, people should atleast know how to spell it right!

    I know I've mentioned this before, but Daisy was almost always mistaken for a Labrador when she was younger because of her light coloring and short coat. Sometimes we're also asked if she's a Golden mix, because she's small for her breed.

    And of course Molly is called "Lassie" quite a bit, and I doubt that will ever change.
