[*LabLoverKEB*]

YES! And it really get's on my nerves!

People have tried to tell me that my sadie girl, is a Labrador mix, becuase she's so petite and little.

My pyr is multi colored, not all white...he is sooo beautiful with big tan/orange badger spots on his body with freckles too and a beautiful mask including black around the eyes...for 7 yrs now, my groomer continues to list him as a grt pyr/st.bernard mix there is nothing st.ber in him and he has the double dew claws as well...my vet cracks up, says it's just really rare to see the mask in the breed, but he is a pyr all the way

Is there a picture of your Pyr online somewhere? I'd love to see. Thanks!

The funniest breed misID I've ever read about was in the newsgroups (r.p.d.) years ago. Someone mentioned that a little girl saw a Harlequin dane and excitedly told her mom, "Look, a cow!"

anything with at least 2 speckles or spots or that is black and white w/ one speckle becomes a dalmatian, harley danes become giant dals...

Meet my pitbull I was told only pitbulls come in brindle "I guess she is the skinniest and tallest pitbull you will ever meet"



"the black one is a greyhound isn't it?",..... Yes she is..... "so what breed is the white and tan one?" Ahhh ... that is a greyhound as well

I've got a good one for you.I rescued an Akita from our local animal control.At first they listed him as a black lab.When someone with sense figured out what he eas they were going to put him down after 4wks.because of his breed.Thank God i got him on his third week.I still want to know how you confuse a lab with an akita?

lol I remeber the firsy Vet we took Shadow too insisted that Shadow was a cocker spanial..she is a border collie x Sheltie and anyone with a brain can figer that out because both breeds are VERY obvious and every lay person off the street has been able to guess correctly. lol

[areias]

We have a Sheltie or Collie/Border Collie mix at the kennel I work at right now...one of my coworkers walked up to the lady and said wow, I've never seen a black and white sheltie in person. And the lady goes "Oh, shes a purebred border collie, we have papers" real snotty like. My coworker just said oh okay and walked away...and let me tell you, this dog looked just like Bijou, just black and white, and was about as big as a sheltie.

people ask me if Zero is a wolf once in awhile..lol

[animal_rescue]

Maggie is a

Pit Bull?
Great Dane?
Rottweiler?

Maggie's puppy

and Alex well Alex has
also deemed as Maggie's puppy

OH! Yesterday I saw a bicolor sheltie and the owners were absolutley shocked I knew what he/she was

lol I know the feeling! I am a teenager, I look much younger then I am. I met a guy walking a rodesian ridgeback pup and my frind asked me what breed, I think the owner almost fell over in shock when a teenager knew exactly what breed his dog was, and what they were bred for and known for etc.. lol another couple I met was shocked when I saw them walking their 2 schipperkie's and I took one look and said "schipperkies?" lol I think they were really suprised that I have even heard of the breed much less recignized them lol then I told them that I have a schipperkie mix at home, thats how I recignized the breed so fast lol

[lute]

people pretty much know that Beanie is a Pomerainian. Gracie on the other hand, i can't believe all the guesses i get for her. they've guessed alaskan husky, malamute, siberian malamute, and my personal favorites "is she part wolf/coyote?"


i mat a guy with a pekingese and he was so shocked that i knew what it was. he said lots of people think he's a pomerainian.

[Pit Chick]

I've seen a few of rare breeds that I was able to ID and the owners were shocked, like a Large Munsterlander or Spinone Italiano.

[IRescue452]

I've made my own share of dumb mistakes, guessing a spinone was a pointing griffon and a springer was an english cocker, but at least they looked the part and I'm willing to admit that I was wrong. Is Gracie a Karelian Bear Dog?-lol, sorry couldn't help myself siberian huskies are very popular here but must be a rare dog by where you live considering she is a lovely example of what the breed should look like.

[Suki Wingy]

it iws so weird when people are like "OhMyGod, right, he's a portie!"
We have a lot of different breeds in our neighborhood, including a med. munsterlander
