Not suprising.....I groom dogs in the "puppy mill capital of the east coast" (Lancaster, Pa) and most people are really clueless about dogs.

I am regularly asked if Grace is a "German Police Dog" as if that were a breed. The weirdest is when people ask if she's a German Shepherd OR a German Police Dog.

Wolf hybrid. Akita. Malinois. GSD mix.

I was showing my black shepherd at an obedience trail in Canada and was asked if he was a Lab. At one point when I was working with him a lady ask me if he was a beagle, I just smile and agree.

I get asked if he is a purebred GSD or Police Dog, but most often strangers will just say “Oh what a beautiful dog”.

Me too! The first time I thought the person was joking around, but when I was asked twice more, I realized they were probably serious lol

Some people say "german shepherd" or "purebred?", and I say yes. I don't think she looks like a mix though lol.

In GERMANY, several dog trainers asked if Grimm was:

1. A wolf
2. A wolf hybrid
3. A Czechoslovakian Wolfdog
4. A Saarloos Wolfhond
5. A shepherd mix

Folks were used to seeing the West German showline dogs as pets and in working capacity (really). Black and red dogs were riding the bus, were waiting tied outside the bank or bakery, were walking on patrol with security guards, etc. I saw another workingline dog there only once-- at a lady's home who did SchH.
