People always seemed to think that Lady was a collie.

I haven't had any comments from the Germans other than how gorgeous my DSH are. But when they were little the Americans were always guessing their breed.
We don't take them around the Americans much as we avoid the base so I haven't had a comments now that they are big.

i am asked what kind of dog tilden is every time we're out. the responses vary from simple acknowledgment, to surprise, to curiosity, and the occasional disbelief. either way i am always complemented on how beautiful he is and his nice coloring.

so far guesses have included:

belgian tervuren
collie
border collie
australian shepherd
sheltie
doberman

shiloh shepherd
golden retriever
rhodesian ridgeback

irish setter

the most common conversation is short and goes "what kind of dog is that" "he's a long haired german shepherd" "pure?" "yep" "wow, he's gorgeous... didnt know they came in the long hair variety" or "really, i've never seen one that color before"

Funny when I adopted my coatie, Max, from the shelter I had glanced at him and said Belgian Tervuren. But then took a second look and said, no, Long coat GSD. I had only seen pictiurs before even tho I have had GSD's a long time.

I get asked often what he is and when I tell people they are surprised and comment on how gorgeous he is.

Hahahaha... we've had long coats for the past 28 years and it's always the same: "What kind of dog is THAT?" and then I say proudly "He/She is a Long Coat German Shepherd". Then the segway might be one of the following:
"What a great looking dog"
"Uh... I don't think so... I think you mean Belgium Sheepdog?"
"Huh... I could put money on your dog being a Chow mix"
"Really? I'll be darned...So German Shepherds can have long hair?"
"Oh, but it's not full-blooded right?"
It's quite entertaining... Next week I'll get a lot of that. Our Vet school is doing Microchip Your Dog day, a big fund raising for the Vet students. So let's see how many guesses we'll get with Gus and Molly. One thing all folks say is how gorgeous they look. It swells momma's heart...

Tee hee...
