[Page 12] What other breeds has your purebred been mistaken for?

If you are wondering what is the right dog for you, this is the place to be. In this introductory forum we talk about topics such as breed vs. mix, size, age, grooming, breeders, shelters, rescues as well as requirements for exercise, space and care. No question is too silly here. This particular forum is for getting and giving helpful, nice advice. It is definitely not a forum for criticizing someone else's opinion, knowledge or advice. This forum is all about tail wagging and learning.

Cruiser

Ban stupid- people, not dogs

Barked: Mon Jul 6, '09 7:51am PST


	I'm a Pittie and I've been called a lab, a boxer, and a Bulldog Momma see's me only as a Pittie

Kyan

No, I'm not a- wolf.

	I just have to say, Cruiser is soo handsome! I see pittie too I also wanted to answer the post about people guessing a breed wrong. I certainly am not offended. I EXPECT them to guess incorrectly. It comes with the territory of owning a 'rarer' breed... that guy you mentioned needs to get over himself That being said, it makes me VERY happy when someone guesses right! Its pathetic but I feel proud that they know what he is. The only thing that does anger me (and it has only happened once) is when someone insists Kyan is some other breed. I had a woman at the groomers SWEAR to me that I was mistaken and Kyan is a Dutch Shepherd "trust me, i study dogs extensively"...yeah ok.

Sirius- "Padfoot"- Black

Too clever for- Mom's own good!- :)

	Cruiser and Kyan, Mom says to tell you both that you're very handsome examples of your breeds. She loves both Pitties and Groenendaels. Nobody ever even guesses. I'm not a purebred and I guess they can tell. It's just "He's very pretty. What is he?" then "Wow. quite a mix!" when Mom tells them I'm Boxer, Rottie, and GSD.

	Cruiser, maybe they thought Boxer because of the color (brownish with black on the face)? I see pitties getting mistaken for Boxers a lot, and vise versa; some people a relative knew once came over with a very obvious brindle and white Boxer (he even had a docked tail and the classic Boxer snout) claiming he was a "purebred APBT" . Cruiser is a real cutie, btw! Edited by author Wed Jul 8, '09 12:19pm PST

Sherpa Tanuk- of Everest

Team Werewolf

Barked: Wed Jul 8, '09 6:34pm PST


	I've gotten that too Kyan, it really irritates me. One guy my husband works with insisted that Tanuk had Golden Retriever in him because the backs of his ears are red. Well...duh, his mother was a RED malamute! Like we wouldn't know our own dog's breed? I hate it when people walk up to me, assuming all dogs are some crazy mix and I'm just dying for them to tell me what they think mine is.

Allee Oop

It's mine, it's- mine

Barked: Thu Jul 9, '09 3:42pm PST


	Allee is a scottie but she isn't as short and stocky so people have thought she was a mini shnauzer before. Most people just guess and say 'terrier' Edited by author Thu Jul 9, '09 3:50pm PST

Bama A.K.A- "Buddybear"

'Just as cuddly- as i look!'

Barked: Thu Jul 9, '09 3:50pm PST


	My longhaired dachshund Bama is clearly a doxie and people have said he looks like a mini collie! oh and someone thought he was an irish setter pup bc of his red coat.
