what kind of dog do people think your GSD is? - Page 22

All the time I get people asking me if Sonar is...
A. Shiloh Shepherd
B. Belgium Shepherd
C. Mixed with a Shepherd and a........

They are stunned when I say "he is pure bred German Shepherd"

People readily identify 'bruiser' as a GSD

What annoys me most is when people ask if he will 'CHEW' their arm off...I mean he's just hanging next to me but he does bark when they start to approach him without my permission. I ask them not to approach him and then if they want to see him, I will tell him to go make friends. (one at a time for about 20-30 seconds and he comes back to me and sits down)

Capone's ears shifted to full radar attention at 14wks. People now ask "is that some kind of .. uh"...-

It's like all they see now are his seemingly full grown ears but with half a body behind it and aren't sure what he is.

Most people thought my Harlequin Dane was a dalmation- I had a lot of fun with that

Yes, with Gryffon being a sable, I get a lot of "German Shepherd mixed with . . . ? " type of inquiries.

I've heard, Wolf, Hyena, and Belgian Malinois which always seems to shock me because I never heard of a Belgian before I got a GSD!

Mine is all black, so I have gotten the wolf-dog comment more than any other.
