Vet asked me what type of dog is Kira.. seriously?
A new vet opened across from my pet food store. They had a coupon for a "free" exam. The pet supplier said they were great, and they had no suprises.
I decide to do a "walk in", figuring they would take a look at Kira's dirty ear, and see if it looks OK. They take my coupon, no fees...so far, so good. The doctor greets us, and we go into a room. Here's the conversation: Dr.: Hi, I'm Dr. xxxx Me: Nice to meet you Dr: Who's this? Me: This is Kira. Dr.: Oh, Kira's beautiful!.. What kind of dog is she?    Me: (bewildered) Large chihuahua Me: Just kidding.. GSD  Dr.: Is she really? I've never seen one like this. She's so small and fluffy Me: Small and fluffy? That should scare the bad guys. Me: (Using an iPhone app that makes it appear that I got a phone call), Dr. OH, I forgot I had to pick up my daughter. I have to leave immediately.. LOL |

I had an employee from Petsmart tell me that my dog looked like a little border collie. I just smiled and walked away.

PetSmart...same here. Not sure what breed she thought Jax was just that she had all this experience grooming GSD's and therefore, Jax was not one.

Kira's beautiful. I wonder how big the vet thinks females are supposed to be?

It seems the majority of people (in the US anyway), some vets included apparently, have a warped perception of how large a dog a GSD is suppose to be. I get people all the time asking what kind of dog Jasmine is, or if they recognize that she is GSD they still ask if she is purebred or still a puppy .... she is almost 14 months old, slightly above breed standard for a female at around 70 pounds and roughly 24" at the withers. All too often I get disbelieving looks when I explain that she is mostly full grown and actually at the top and even slightly larger than what a female GSD should be by breed standard.
I guess there are just too many oversized GSD's out there and people expect them all to be 100+ pounds and 30" tall. It's kind of a shame really. |
