'labs only come in yellow, black and chocolate and he is ginger, so he must be crossed with something and we have been mis-sold our dog!'
Actually, no, he is yellow, just very dark, often called Fox Red!!!!

'Is that a Golden Retriever' and other such comments. Sigh.

That's great!We took him to a local fete about a month ago and he was too young to be on the floor so I was carrying him. I didn't even mention the breed but the amount of people who came up and said they'd thought he was a cuddly toy was unreal!

That was one of 'those' incidents in my sons life that I will always remember, it took me a while to realise why he had freaked about a dog moving. We laughed a lot with the owner once we had explained to him,bless!!!

A man came into my shop and walked straight into the salon at the back (obviously the 'no admittance' sign didn't apply to him). Dandy and Rio were in their dog run and started barking, so the guy walks straight up to the run with his hands outstretched. I say to him - they won't make friends with you I'm afraid. He says 'yes they will - I train dogs, I train German shepherd police dogs for a living. I have a german shepherd dog at home. It's so well trained I can't take it out or it will bite everyone.'
Then a minute later...'are these German Shepherds then?'
