and was still doing work-outs for decoys last year.
I said ‘Don’t chase her please she isnt fussed on being patted by strangers, she is deaf’ oh the person said, ‘how do you shout on it then’
She's gorgeous
People commonly refuse to believe that the whippets are not infact baby greyhounds, and even when they ask the breed and you say whippet, they ask when they are going to grow up to be a greyhound.
Foal/pony/horse situation springs to mind!
My first dog as a kid was a flatcoat, she was thick as a plank but adorable. You don't see many around, though there is a breeder with quite the pack near me now! They're the first ones I've seen since I was about 9!I met a man out walking his Red Setter. He asked me if my Liver Flatcoat was a Red Setter! Now many people don’t know what flatcoats are, let alone the liver ones, but he was holding a red setter and my dog wasn’t even the same colour, shape, size or anything else!
I have also been asked if my black flatcoat is a black red setter or a spaniel cross labrador! All good fun!
Aria is constantly mistaken for other breeds. We frequently have people asking if she's a Golden Retriever (twice by people who have had actual GRs with them). When we say that no, she's a yellow Lab, they always comment on how long her hair is.
She also gets mistaken for a crossbreed a lot (on account of her size). When we explain that she's only a puppy, there are still the occasional ones who look at us as if she's been mis-sold. In fairness, I do think she's going to end up being a small Lab - but a Lab nonetheless
I like her,she has a very sweet face
Dram has one of those he looks great sitting in the front of the lorry when you fill up with fuel .
