When we had our Jake (Boxer) honest he was

We would get...

"Is that a Bull Mastif?"
"No, he's a Boxer"
"Really? he looks more like a mastif to me"
"Well no, he's a boxer"
"Is he crossed with a mastif then?"
"No, he's a full KC registered Boxer"
"Na, he's got to have a bull in him somwhere he's too big to be a Boxer. Weren't they bred to bait bulls then?"
"Well amongst other things..yea, I suppose so"
"See now he coulnt do that coz he's too big, so he can't be a full Boxer then can he?"
"He's a BOXER!!!!"

the only bull is their stupid comments!!!!! Do we have to produce his papers to prove it

He's a Boxer!!!! honest...look.....

It's not just members the public though.....

whilst walking round the caravan park at a dog show some years back with 2 vallhunds and my cross breed...

Person1 .....what's that she's got there
Person 2 .... not sure, i think it's a toller
Person 1 .... oh yes, it must be, it's too red for a golden
Person 2 .... it's could be a hovawart
Person 1.... no, i don't think so, well, it could be

at which point i just keep walking

when i come back they are still at it, having firmly decided that he is in fact a toller.

to which they are calmly informed as i walk past again

i am glad you like him, but actually he's a mut

awww i love vallhunds!! i would love one in my house. my nana used to have one years ago and she lived till the ripe old age of 19 before she had to be put to sleep. definately a friendly little dog. one of the nicest ive known anyway

Great thread! Doesn't it make you laugh when they ask you "are you sure?" - errr yeah, pretty much it's my dog!!

LOL Vicki - I can just picture you saying that too!!

I once got someone saying Marius looked like a Rottweiler, when I told them he was they then said "I'm scared of them aren't you"? mmmm let me see I'm sure I know the answer to this one!!
