Rowie-the-Pooh Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Some genuine dog people. :D This afternoon, while I was taking Rowie out on her walk, a jeep stopped in the middle of the road to talk to me. A Japanese man and his wife leaned over to the window and looked really surprised and said (and this is the first time anyone gets it right on the first time) "Is your doggie a Golden Retriever?" I was so happy, I know it sounds stupid, but out where I live there are two types of dogs known to the people "Police Dogs" and "Fluffy Dogs" and since Rowie doesn't belong to either of the groups they usually don't know what breed she is. So hearing someone actually say right out "Is that a Golden Retriever?" was like a breath of fresh air! :lol: Anyway, they then surprised me again by saying "Is it a female?" Again, most people mistake Rowie for a male, even people over the internet and at my Obedience School used to ask "How old is he?" or what not. Japanese are SO CLEVER! :lol: So after that they told me that they had a Goldie too and it was really nice talking to some dog people in person! If only I'd taken their number or something so we could arrange a play date.. Just had to share! Quote

Kerislc Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 It is always fun to meet fellow breed lovers! Quote
Mutt_Lady Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Woohoo!! You should know that the same thing happens to my Lab mix, Kyra and myself. When a person asks if she's a Lab or a mix, I basically hug them! LOL I've been asked if she was a Pit Bull or a Great Dane...people can be so ignorant. Let's hear it for dog owners who know their breeds!! Quote
