The weirdest misidentification?

When reggin was a little puppy a guy at the dog park thought he was a grown jack russel terrier. At least he got the terrier part right, lol.
I dont understand why some people will stand there and argue the breed of YOUR dog. If anyone knows the breed of a dog it would most likely be the owner, lol. I have had a few people argue with me that reggin is part boxer when I have seen both of his parents.

Eh i have a Wire Fox terrier and when ppl guess what she is the most common response is Airdale. humm.
and once i was talking to one of my neighbors, my GORDON SETTER was in Full coat/perfect show Trim. and i think he had been finished 2-3 days prior. and he goes oh is that a Doberman?? I was like Umm no.

I love when people try to tell YOU what YOUR dog is...what's up with that? That would be like someone telling me my name is really something totally different. Or saying my child is really African instead of American. I don't really have a child but still 
Idiots.
Idiots.
). If they state something clearly untrue I just don't say anything.. it's not worth it to me. Usually they just want their dog to be breed X very badly.Middie has been called a Chocolate Lab. Yes. I am serious here. It was a young girl today, though. :lol-sign:

Someone asked if my Saint was a "Funny coloured Newfie"
hahahahahha....I said, "no, thats my husband" (my hubby is from Newfoundland)
Im still blown away by the people tho, who argue with me that my Saint is not pure-bred (he is) because "saints dont have short hair" So I just tell them that actually back in the day the saints were bred with newfoundlanders and thats what made long haired saints....and some stiill argue it!!

Jester, my long-hair double dapple dachshund, gets this all the time: I have one neighbor who swears he is a sheltie [what part of five inches tall dog doesnt she understand LOL] and the plumber the other day was just sure he is a Brittany spaniel, and he confessed to having a dachshund himself, but still wouldnt believe Jes is a dachshund-! Go figure.

Seamus has brindle ticking, so he gets called a dalmation a lot.
I used to raise chinchillas, and would get calls from people saying things like,
"Oh! and I don't like the ones with buggy eyes...do they bark a lot?" huh? Come to find out they thought "chinchilla" and "chihuahua" were the same thing No, they are not little dogs. Sheesh.
A little boy called Tengu (GSD) a wolf once. It was pretty cute. He just kept waving and shouting, "hi wolf!! hi wolf!" over and over. His parents and I thought it was pretty funny and Tengu loved the attention.
One of my friends has a blue merle smooth collie, and EVERYBODY thinks he's a mix. Tucker has been called a:
Greyhound
Aussie mix
ACD
barracuda
bull terrier
min pin
cheetah mix (someone actually called animal control to report that she had a cheetah hybrid )
Nobody believes that he could be Lassie with short fur.
Edit: Laurelin, Scout is GORGEOUS! maybe it's just my monitor, but her fur looks really blue. Mosaics are one of my favorites.

Well, according to some people, I have an irish setter, a papillon, and a boxer.
Well, Flicka may be a darker golden, but she is nowhere near setter red.
Pepe is a mix (we think Sheltie/Chi), but he could have some papillon in him...but probably not a ton. He has the sheltie nose and the sheltie ears, though...and the ears could easily be mistaken for pap by a less knowledgeable person.
Everyone thinks Jackson is a boxer because of his brindle...not to mention the fact that a) he has a very longish snout, b) his ears are only semi-erect, c) he has a TAIL.
I actually had one lady argue about it with me...
Boxers have very little snout, no tail, and their ears will be either cropped or floppy.
Stupid people.
