What breed do people confuse your dog with?

[Mooshi's Mummy]

My Akita gets called a Husky all the time and for my TM I have had a, a German Sheppard mix, a Leonberger, and a Bernese Mountain Dog so far. Grrr!

 

[ruthcatrin]

When Apollo was a pup we heard a lot of "chow mix?"

Now, we've had a couple "st bernard mix?" but usually its just "What IS he?" as none of those other big fluffy breeds are common in my area either.

 

[ruthcatrin]

Arty gets alot of "basenji mix?" and occasionally "shiba mix?" Otherwise we just hear "he looks like a FOX!"

 

[northernmastiff]

Not a lot of confusion. We used to get Great Dane, especially when she was going through her gangly stage. Now we get, "Bullmastiff, right?" Most people have no idea what an English Mastiff is when I tell them. Bullmastiffs are more common in my area so that is why I get the question. I love Bullmastiffs though so it doesn't bother me too much, I just politely correct them.

 

[Bald 'n Gimpy]

I just get the "is that a Mastiff?", with the occasional Bull Mastiff guess.

Everyone says mastiff or mastiff mix, or what is he?

People usually recognize that Duchess is a mastiff & I will usually chime in & say "English Mastiff" to which they talk over me & say oh yeah yeah "English massive". Lol

 

[musicdeb]

I get "what kind of dog is that?" I tell them Dogue de Bordeaux and they say, "oh, ok" They have no idea what that is.

 

[Jadotha]

With Boris, many people recognise he's a mastiff. Otherwise, I usually just get 'what is he' questions. My harle Great Dylan was mistaken for: A giant pit bull and a giant dalmation

 

[Jakesmum]

Believe it or not, just last week someone asked me if Jake was a pug, he's over 140 pounds! Usually I get boxer occasionally English Mastiff, but Bullmastiff's aren't very common in my area so a lot of people just ask what he is if they don't know.

My DDB has a red face and I have people ask if she is a pit. I guess it's the color of her nose that make people think that.

 

[Duke]

I've gotten "boxer?" Or "is that a neo?" hardly anyone knows what a cane corso is...i usually just say "italian mastiff"

 

[m0rg4n]

I'd say 90% of the people I meet think Mira is a black Lab puppy. Haha, not for much longer!

 

[lexa]

i get "orrr she's a lovely boxer" and the wife has to tell them she isnt a boxer,

 

[grazefull1]

ok mines is kinda funny for my :
shepherd people ask is she a K9 lol n i say all dogs are K9 r if she is a wolf mix,husky mix, akita mix, even chow mix, i guess cuz my sheperd hair is alway fussy lol ?

dane people ask if she is a tall english mastiff, mastiff pit mix, mastiff banddog(they really got me there), fat grayhound lol, know my is dane is heavy set so that may throw some people off lol

corso when is young people ask is he was a shar pai, blue nose pitbull, boxer, pit mix, banddog(mix), gray lab(when ear were not done lol), blue nose american bully,a very cute neo lol, neo mix, fake neo lol :lolbangtable:

 

[voidecho]

I get Great Dane alot now since he's in the gangly puppy stage. If it's not GD, then it's definitely a Bull Mastiff. I get the, "he's going to be huge, probably 120-140 lbs" and then I get to let them know they're guessing a little on the low side.

 

[STEVSH]

Great Dane because she's half weimaraner. So it makes her look like a small dane. Or a giant black lab when she was a pup. But her fur has lightened up to more of a dark chocolate with a black stripe down her back and faint brindle marks, so no one says lab anymore.

 

[grazefull1]

i get "orrr she's a lovely boxer" and the wife has to tell them she isnt a boxer,

dont feel bad your not the only one lol i geuss i own a boxer r boxer mix too lol

 

[Tibleti]

We had a pug when he was a baby, a pit or boxer when he was in that 6-9 month range and a Bullmastiff or Neo ever since. Funny, his paperwork says English Mastiff, but I'm the one who's wrong when someone doesn't agree with me on what he could be...

 

[bellareea320]

Like others have said pit bull, but ive never seen a black pit, sharpei and mix
