Dumbest Comment

I always get "That's a beautiful black lab you have." WTF he looks nothing like a lab. Does he look like a lab to you?

Random comment from a girl while walking:"The difference between GSDs and pitbulls are you have to make pitbulls mean, GSDs are just born that way"

Other walking comments: "Love your collie!" "Shes a mix, GSDs are born with straight ears (from when she was a puppy)."

Petsmart comments from little dog owners: "Is she vicious??" (Yea thats why we bring her to petsmart, so she can get her raw meals at the expense of toy dog owners, saves us a few bucks ) "Is she going to bite?"

Ugh and I know someone mentioned it but the little kids that just run right up to dogs and grab them, no clue about their temperment. Baya is somewhat afraid of little kids, she used to be terrified of them. It was soooo hard to get her comfortable around them because parents don't teach kids common sense. When Baya was younger around 4 months a little girl ran up out of knowhere and grabbed her, when Baya had just entered a store for the first time. She wasn't paying attention and got scared so she barked. The genius mom "why do you take your vicious dog out!!"

Got to love people

Oh, and forgot to mention the kicker of ALL stupid comments/insults:

Was at another shelter event, and a father and daughter (maybe 10-12 years old) were looking at the different dogs up for adoption. I walk by, and he motions to Mulder and says "Look at that dog honey."

She replies "EWW, its ugly."

She better be glad she was a kid...

How rude!

I probably would have smacked the kid.jk!

I kind thought this one was a compliment:

I was walking my Black GSD Mix, Tanner, and some girl was walking her WGSD across the street.Both dogs see each other and I and the girl look at each other and smile.She says, "They look like twins!I have the white version and you have the black version!" I reply "Yeah, like a mirrior image."lolI have seen this dog a few other times.That dogs isnt very well behaved, my mom and dad were walking once and the dog literally cleared the dinning room table and was barking like mad.Thank god he didnt fly threw the window.Whew!

dumbest comments, lets see........

"is that a real German Shepherd?" no hes a reproduction from China

at the hospital doing are volunteer work, "does he bit", I especially
like these people because as their asking this, their petting him
i get the people that stop me and say "I have a GSD at home and he/she is out of control"
"how do you get him to behave like that?"
Max is a big boy, very tall and long and 98lbs, I cant tell you how many times i`ve heard this one
"I used to have a GSD but he was 120lbs"

I had someone ask me if my first GSD, who was a blanket b/t, was a Bernese mountain dog.

This is not a lie, it's 100% true. Yesterday, while coming back from walking Charlie, I was wearing casual clothes and black sunglasses cuz it was super sunny. A kid on the other side of the st. asked: "are you blind"?

Oh Gosh, how many time do I have to tell the prents to call back their kids.....

The most idiot of all:

One morning, I took Phenix out for a walk and decided to stop at the bakery. Phenix wasn't allowed in, so I attached him in front of the window, far from the door, where I can watch him.

I took a few bagels, paid, then, when I came outside, there was a mom, SITTING on Phenix (he was around 7-8 months old) so her little cute girl (around 3 years old) COULD PET Phenix.

I was WTF are you doing?????? You don't know this dog. Hopefully, he is to scary and gentle to do something to you. How could you teach your girl the behave this way in front of a dog she don't know. If my dog had bit you, what would you have done?

She was like "Uh??!!". Seriously, what an idiot. I was sorry for the little girl.

My favorite is when walking my GSD, my Rottie, and my sheltie all at the same time, folks will ask if the GSD is the mother (I guess because she's the tallest...).
Who could seriously think a)a shetland sheepdog and a rottweiler are littermates, and b)a purebred GSD is their mother?
