Stupid things?

What is the absolute dumbest thing that someone has said about your dog?








Mine: I have a Chinese Crested Hairless. A flower delivery lady asked me what he was and I told her. She said "Oh, I thought he was a baby GOAT!"

Stupid things?
We went thru Drive Thru with a puppy in the car w/ us. He had his ears cropped and they were taped up.. The girl at the window says ' Oh you poor puppy, how did you break both your ears at the same time '
Reply::) There was no reply, we were stunned that someone could even come up with something so ridiculous!


Thanks! Report It

Reply:Cute, a baby goat!





People have guessed that my dog is a Boxer mix, and she's got a... nose. You know, one that doesn't look like a Boxer's.





Interestingly enough, a guy at the park said my dog was a "tomboy" because she loves to play in water, mud, dirt, doesn't mind playing rough with other dogs...





Sheesh, I thought that was just being a DOG - a crazy dog, but a dog. Do I need to put a bow in her hair or something? (I laugh when people think my dog's a boy named Missy.)





Does she look girly?

Reply:I suppose the most dumbest thing..or what I would say most irritating thing said about my cocker spaniel is that they think it's a poodle!! Just because it has long ears and a clean face doesn't mean it's a poodle!! I mostly got this reaction from people about my black cocker...I don't get it much with my buff cocker...but it's funny for me to hear someone ask if my cocker is a poodle because I know the breeds are so different and so easy to distinguish.
Reply:Is that an artic fox? (my Terv when she was a puppy)





This is a Belgian Shepherd? That means she's nervous and fearful of strangers! (The dog had long since crawled onto the speaker's lap for a cuddle)
Reply:Someone has said my WHITE PIT BULL looks like a ROTTWEILER!! What? How is that possible?
Reply:My mother-in law, before I got engaged to her son, said, "Oh my GOD! How OLD is that dog that she's so GRAY!?!??!" the first time she met my blue merle sheltie. I almost peed myself!





ADDED:





Oooh! Oooh! TWHrider just reminded me of another good story! (Thanks, btw) I was working at our local shelter one Am early and got a call on hte private line that only police and employees have. It was a state trooper. He said they had taken a delusional lady in for hospital care, but had to leave her two dogs in the car as they ahd nowhere to put them. The employee on emergency call duty the night before still had the shelter truck, so I asked how big they were so I could plan on how to use my vehicle to get them. The cop says "One's kinda small, but the other is really big".


I asked "How big?"


"Oh, I dunno, really big", he says.


%26lt;rolling eyes%26gt; I tried to get a little better idea so I knew if the dog could ride in the cab of my truck, or if I had to get a large crate out of the shed for in the bed of my truck. (Had a cap) So I asked, "Well, what breed do you think they are?"


Cop says, "Uuuh, I think one's a hairy chihuahua, but the big one's a lollapalooza, or something that."


OK, it's 6:30 in the morning, it's going to be a hot day, and I am at a total loss as to what a large breed dog called a 'lollapalooza' could possibly be. I go out to the garage and get a BIG crate, strap it into my truck, grab a small crate, and go to the location. What do I find? A little car with a little basket, and in the little basket was a yorkie and a LHASA APSO! THAT was my "lollapalooza'!


The lady was released from the hospital the next day and these two little sweeties were reunited with their mommy, who had a bad reaction to a prescription drug she'd been given by her doctor.





Moral of the story? Never trust a cop with a lollapolooza! LOL
Reply:That is pretty sad. MIne have been called black Saints, Poodles, Chows, Springers, and bears. Yes, some people ACTUALLY think they are some sort of bear. One guy said he was sure they were one of those new "domesticated type of Grizzly" he heard about???!!!!!!!!





Makes the day ...interesting!!!!!

Reply:that my dog looked like a cat
Reply:Alot of people ask if my dogs are German Shepherds????





How they can get them confused with a Shepherd I'll never know!


I've had people ask if they were Sheep dogs too! One man asked it they were Doberman's one time. People crack me up!
Reply:Well, some people don't believe that my dog is a Golden Retriever (dog in avatar).





Some people have told me that my terrier mix is "so ugly she's cute" and have actually asked if she was a furry rat.





Edit*


Hahaha DP, that's hilarious and a little sad, all at the same time.
Reply:I was walking my Brittany a couple months ago


%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;---Thats him by the way


and this moronic lady comes up to me carrying her two small dogs ..one looked like a chihuahua and the other like a toy poodle mix


She starts yelling at me that my vicious pit bull shouldnt be allowed out of the house ...and furturmore all pits shold be killed


Apparently my dog was a danger to hers


My dog wouldnt hurt a fly he is the friendliest dog ive owned


She says my ugly monster scared her babies


I said your chi and toy poodle look find to me ..infact they look like they want to play with my BRITTANY


She says theres no way my chi would want to play with that thing you call a dog and that isnt a poodle its a "malti-poo" geez


Apparently i was the one in the wrong for walking my dog and mistaking her "maltipoo" for a poodle mix


but she was right on when she thought mine was a pit bull and a killer


No wonder pit bulls have a bad rep. seeing as her definition of a pit bull is any dog over 10lbs
Reply:somebody once said your chiwawa is so cute





when my dog is a pommeranian and super fluffy filled with fur

Reply:that she looked like a baby cow!!!

Reply:that my schnauzer/gsd mix looked like a wolf hybrid. These people were actually going to call the wildlife people on me.....





he has floppy ears, short wiry hair and a beard......





or this one.


Someone i knew drove past me walking my dogs one day.


The next day i saw him, and he commented on how "vicious" my dogs looked. My dogs were a corgi mix, and 2 schnauzer mixes, and a CHIHUAHUA!!!!!!


it was all i could do to keep from falling out of my chair.
Reply:Baby goat..that's hilarious.
Reply:I had my shiba at the chicago benched show years ago...I was taking her to the ring for groups, and a lady pointed to her and said "OOOHHH! OOOOHHH! LOOK! There's one of those Eeebee Oooobee dogs." Hmmmm....wonder what sort of cross that would be....
Reply:About my Newfoundland: "Oh MY isn't that a poorly bred chocolate lab!" or "Is that a a designer breed?" GR!





About my Saint Bernard: "Oh man, you should have got a dry-mouthed Saint." or "Is it true that Saint Bernards sleep 20 hours out of the day?" I WISH!! :)))
Reply:I have a dog that looks like a cow mixed with a whippet, really I do. But any way I went to the park and the ranger told me i couldn't bring cows to the park. I was like it's a DOG, he didn't believe me...
Reply:This one happened today. It's not my breed in particular it's all large dogs.





I'm paraphrasing but some guy on here said all large dogs were killers. ALL of them. Then he emailed me and told me how I was kidding myself if I thought my dogs wouldn't kill someone some day.





If my labs would remove themselves from their dog beds and get the bones and or tennis balls out of their mouths they may be extremely dangerous. I think I may choke to death on dog hair. That's probably likely.





And this cocker basset that's barking at me right now (she wants me to pet her)... she may be able to trip you and then LEAP on you after you fall and rip your throat out....





Geesh. I just don't get people.
Reply:I have a Great Dane shepard. On halloween, this old lady asked if her grand kid could ride my "horse". I'm like, he's a dog and yes if you pay ten dollars, she said yes. Got some money out of stuipdity. Nice.

Reply:someone once thought my chesapeake bay retriever was a pit bull...haha wow...no wonder those dogs get a bad rap...apparently they can morph into any breed
Reply:I had someone stop me in the petshop and berate me for having purebred dogs when there are so many mutts in shelters that need homes (I have a schnauzer and a cocker). When she finally stepped off her soap box and shut up, I told her that I did in fact get both dogs from a shelter and that purebred dogs in shelters needed homes just as badly as the mixed breeds.





Im all for rescuing dogs (obviously) but that is just ignorance, stupidity and rudeness to go around screaming at every owner you see with dogs that look like they might come from a breeder.
Reply:A man told his little boy that my fluffy (long haired) Corgi was a fox. This is a dog with little fat dwarf dog legs and a wide white collar. The little boy was terrified and jumped back in the car.





I have snowshoed with a fox companion following me, and he didn't look much like my dog - honest.
