What breeds have your dog/s been mistaken for?

[dab_20]

I got this idea off of dogster.

Molli has been mistaken for a Shih Tzu. I think she looks nothing like a Shih Tzu but ok. Someone stopped me on my walk with her and asked if Molli was a male shih tzu because she was looking for a male to breed her female with.

Sammy has been mistaken for a Springer Spaniel many times. People don't know that Cockers can come in black and white with ticking.

How bout' your dogs?

Autumn is often mistaken for a springer. That's right, a springer with an orange body and a few white spots. The other two people say are a golden retriever mix or a cocker.

Bailey the Great Dane...

Dalmatian
Dalmatian Cross
Blue Heeler
Pitbull
Rottweiler
Lab
Daschund

Some things people have said...

"Great Danes don't come in that color!"

"So he's a Great Dane crossed with what?"

Only a few people have guessed that he's a Great Dane. I get Blue Heeler and Dalmatian the most.

LOL! Malakai is MUCH too big to be a Lab!

lol, thats what i thought..but ya know..people just KNOW he's a lab.."thier friend has one thats twice as big!" lmao, ive had more than one person say that to me, id really like to see this giant lab! 2 times the size of my boy?..hmm that means they have a 270lb lab!! Wow, maybe we should call guinness up

Gonzo rarely is mistaken. Lots of people do say "he must be part Border Collie..." like I don't know my dog is a BC! It annoys me most when people act like they know more than I do about my boy, and they know he must be mixed. When he is not, he just isn't "pretty".

Fozzie gets an incredible number of guesses! I never truly appreciated how annoying it can be to have a mutt ^_^ neverrr. And most people are sure of their guesses... "He is a purebred Corgi, right?" "He must have some Basset in him! " "Is that a Basenji?"... wth! "Is that a miniature Husky?" yes, of COURSE he's a mini Husky! My favorite, which I get every time I go to Petsmart or whatever, as I'm walking this 9-inch tall little munchkin dog, "Ooh, what a pretty Malamute/Samoyed." It can be entertaining, but after all of the Malamute comments - even from people who are supposedly experienced with breeds, such as Petsmart groomers - it can get annoying. Sometimes, I just want to scream "WTH! Malamutes weigh well over 75 lbs, have thick fur, are NOT tri-colored, and do NOT have blue eyes!!!" ughha. But I usually just smile and say, "Mmhm. Maybe."

Alaska has been mistaken for a Pit Bull, Dogo Argentino, Mastiff mix
Georgia has been mistaken for a Pit bull, Dogo Agentino, Dalamatian ( ), Dalmatian mix
Buddy has been mistaken for a pure pit bull and a pure ACD.

[Chilli]

Frisk has been mistaken for a "bulldog". By many many people. I find it amusing.
Skylar has been mistaken for a white GSD. I can see where they could have thought that, though.
Ethan hasn't really been mistaken for anything. People can't even think of a breed that he looks like, so they just don't try.
