Dumbest Comment - Page 8

I was at a park with Abby and we were in an area overlooking a lake when two ladies started chatting me up, asking questions about Abby. One of them asked, "At what age do Shepherd's hips normally start to give out?" I was like ... uh ... I didn't know the warranty ran out at a specific age?

Another time I was walking to the local 7-11 to pick up a couple of things, and I had Abby along wearing her backpack so she could carry a couple of items back. As I was walking down the sidewalk at the shopping center, someone stopped me and said, "You don't look blind." HUH? I guess they figured because I had a dog out in public (and wearing a backpack), it obviously had to be a guide dog.

I was walking Rani when she was a pup and a passing Mom told her
daughter with great authority, "Look, a Miniature German Shepherd!"

I couldn't bear to comment or argue with such solid logic, just kept walking, giggling.

Max your pup looks exactly like Rocky except he has a white patch on his chest and he has started to get the brown feathering on the back of his legs.

I saw mom and dad and they were both GSD. I think the solid black throws some people off.

A guy at the dog park asked me if Heidi was a German shepherd or a police dog? I didn't know what to say. This guy seemed so dumb that it didn't seem worthwhile to explain to him that they are the same breed.

At a social event Heidi and I attended, an older man told me that the GSD he used to have bit him, but it was an accident, the dog was just playing. Just the same, he said he would never have another one because they are mean. I said, "Well, Heidi's not mean."

I have gotten a lot of idiotic comments about my White GSD. The oddest had to be when I was walking my WGSD when some random guy walked up and felt it was his duty to tell me that "ADOLF HITLER had White German shepherds... you know. They were his attack dogs" then he looked at Mully like she was evil... I was speechless... Given his nature and after realizing in a nano second he wasn't going to listen to me, I just said "Wow... I haven't heard that before..."

I hadn't...

What do you think, does she look like an attack dog to you?

DSudd · 05-21-2008, 03:17 PM

Definitely, be careful she might lick you to death. She just looks sweet as can be.

Helly · 05-21-2008, 05:31 PM

Why yes..yes she does look like an attack dog..like attack you with kisses...she looks like a sweet baby

Had Jackson back out at pool practice the other night...couple of kids know him now and like to say "HI"..he eats it up and is getting so much better about sitting still....one kid about 10 and his grandmother are walking by and the kid says "I want to pet that puppy" the grandmother clutches him to her and says "You don't want to pet THAT dog".

I felt like telling her to wait another 6 months and 70 pounds and see what she thinks.

i'm embarrassed to say that this person is my cousin... i hadnt talked to her in a couple years and when i mentioned something of Gia she said "WOW, you still have Gia, hasnt it been like 8 or 9 years" (as if having a dog for 8 or 9yrs is unheard of) i said "yes, she's 8" then she asks "well how come she hasnt had any puppies by now?" (because all dogs have to have puppies right?) i respond "because she's spayed"...

here it comes "well now that you have Tilden, i want one of their puppies when they have them" i repeat "she's spayed" and she says "i know, but the boy isnt neutered is he?"
