Lavs Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 everyone seems to think they know everything about everything huh? this morning i got: "oh how cute, a miniature husky. i didn't know they came so small!" says the lady walking the papillion or whatever, purse dog. i just smiled and kept walking. i often get too: "that's gonna be a big dog for such a little girl!" granted I'm 100lbs on a good day, Sonoma's mom is about 37lbs and her dad is 46lbs. So under breed standard, she's gonna be a dainty one. What othe dumb comments do husky owners get? I look forward to laughing at the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 "Is that a wolf!?" - No "I'm pretty sure it is! Look at the markings!" and another one I get all the time: "Is that a wolf-dog?" "Is that a husky?" (well, WTF do you think it is, a Golden!?) "Your husky isn't purebred. He doesn't have blue eyes." "She looks beautiful!" (Suka's a he. ) EDIT: And I HATE it when people say he's a wolf/wolfdog, and then when I say no, they INSIST that's what he is. Like, really, he's my friggin' dog. I think I know if he suddenly decided to wolf out on me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synphny Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Her: OMG! I have never seen twin wolves like yours! How do you breed them that way? Me: Black ink and a large brush... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, really, he's my friggin' dog. I think I know if he suddenly decided to wolf out on me! You should tell them, "Do you own a wolf-dog? Are you an expert on them, do you breed them? Do you know it's prohibited to do that in Ontario?" It's a real... nuisance, when people think they know about your dog when they really don't. Like really, just because it's a northern breed, doesn't make it a wolf or wolf-dog. People think being educated in everything like science, math, and English is important. But they need to be educated about animals too, otherwise they're just making a complete fool of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laine Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 "She's gone one blue eye and one brown, is she blind?" "Are they huskies? They look like huskies." "Oh look at that one, he's got one of each eyes!" "She won't grow any bigger?" - Shila's small for her breed, like, really small but it contains explosive energy, when she wants to use it.

Chip Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 "Is it a husky" Uhmmm....yeh "Oh, he's small, they're normally much bigger and fluffier" Ok, first off she's wearing pink so she's a girl, and as it happens "she" has maintained the body shape through plenty of exercise. "But he's so thin" "They're vicious as well aren't they?" Nope , they love everyone "But they're wolves" You just asked is it a husky, I answered yes "Aren't her eyes beautiful, can she see, you know, is she blind?" At this point I'm just glad they said she lol. Cant walk five steps without one of these questions being asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
