I've had complete strangers come up to me and tell me my GSD cross was F'ed up looking, and what is that thing? He's also been referred to as a Dingo <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I had a crack head scream at me, "That's a massive and he doesn't have the right tags. He needs colored tags! I'm calling animal control." I think he meant mastiff and I called animal control to see if maybe he was right. He wasn't <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I was worried for a second <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> lol

I frequently used to get the "are they going to turn on me?" from friends and relatives. Finally I got tired of explaining and said, gee, I don't know, maybe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I shouldn't of, but the look on people's faces that that response elicits makes it worth it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I would never say that to a stranger but friends and family are fair game. When they've said negative things about my first mastiff cross I would tell him to give them kisses, and he would, sometimes holding them down to do so. Nobody talks crap about my dogs in front of me anymore <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Not unless they want kisses from a big slobbery dog <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

WooHoo! A "Massive"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'll put that right up there with Dovermans and Rockwilders!

I had to laugh at your post, Becky!

I used to work at an animal hospital, and one of our clients was very proud of his purebred "King Rockweiler."

What a dull world this would be if everyone was as brilliant as all of us on this board <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

LOL, LOL, I love it!! I have also heard people call mastiffs 'massives'. I thought at first it was just a pun... then I bit my tounge and just smiled. Oh boy....

These are brilliant- keep 'em coming...
Thanks for your witty replies- very good!

Al Curbow- I'll probably get back "Ohhh, I didn't know they did miniatures !! ha ha

And there's always the classic question..."Is your dog safe?"

Proper reply:
"Oh yeah...he's safe. I can't say the same thing about you, though....." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I got into a discussion with a lady in another town that swore my 100 pound Bloodhound was not a hound but a Beagle cross.....YIKES
She told me that "They don't breed Bloodhounds anymore."
My husband and I just laughed and it offended her because she huffed off in a hurry.
I want to know what you can breed with a Beagle to get a 100 lb dog?????

I saw this article today and almost choke on my coffee at the author's spelling of Shih Tzu <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey Mike, have you thought of the other way round with the Dane in a 'DOWN STAY'??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
