I don't get too many reactions from my dogs. Like others have experienced most people want to pet Emily not Clipse. Emily is the more aloof one, she could care less about people. Clipse is the attention starved (if you ask him!) one who would stay in one spot for hours if someone was petting him.

As some of you know though, I do dog sit dogs. I've taken care of several sets of dobermans and have had some funny and not so funny reactions.

While taking care of my favorite dobes (Spencer and Taz) I ordered pizza. The delivery guy brought it and the dobes were barking, but they are well trained so I had them in a sit on either side of me and opened the door. Spencer, without breaking his sit, poked his head out the door to look at the delivery guy and the guy got scared and thrust the pizza in his face. LOL Imagine, sacrificing my pizza.....

Right now I am taking care of two other dobes, Mason and Ginger. While walking in the park I was coming upon a man and his toy poodle. Mason and Ginger are always on leash as they aren't well trained. Upon seeing the man (approx 40 feet away) I called the dogs to my side and kept walking. The man turned and saw us and then frantically started calling his dog's name (who was no where near us) and then scooped it up into his arms. He then turned to me and asked if my dogs had eaten yet today. I was like "oh don't worry they prefer children over toy poodles". Okay I didn't say that but I thought it. LOL

I actually don't blame him for picking his dog up. I just didn't like his comment, LOL
