When I take my pair out for walks, everyone wants to coo over them. Everyone recognizes Lilly as a beagle (or the NC counterpart "One of then Snoopy dogs). Then they get to Radar. I must have this conversation three times a walk, every single time.
Them: What type of dog is that?
Me: Some sort of little mutt
Them: No, I mean is he a Westie-poo, or a Chi-Weenie, or a Doxie-Poo? What is he?
Me: Those aren't breeds, they're mixes, and I really don't know what he is. Some sort of Poodle/Terrier mix I guess.
Them: Oh, he is a Westie-Poo (or some similar designer dog)
Alternatively, Them: No, they're real breeds, my cousins sisters best friends boyfriend breeds (insert dizzying array of designer dogs here) and they're about to get recognized by the AKC.
Every single time. Not every dog is a designer dog, some of the are just scruffy little rescues who we know nothing about. Do other people with small dogs get asked this, or am I finding every idiot in the south?
