Met a lady yesterday who asked me what breed my dog is, she's very definitely a cocker spaniel. She was walking a cocker spaniel herself , which was hers !
To be fair mines liver and hers was black

And new pup (Border Terrier X Jack Russell) probably just looks like a substandard BT to people!
Ahem - excuse me but I don't believe that we have had photos of any new pups from you! You know the rules.
I had loads of people asking if mine was an Australian shepherd and kept saying no, he’s a border collie (hadn’t even heard of Aussies) Then I looked into his pedigree and saw he does have an Aussie grandparent, so pretty close. And now looking at photos of Aussie shepherds I can see them in him.Having an unusual Red Merle collie, we are often asked what she is; we also have the occasional person disputing it and telling us she's an Australian Shepherd.
My OH likes to make up bizarre breed names, it's quite funny as often people believe us. The Westie is often called a West Sussex Cheese Hound, the collie is usually a Latvian Beer-Hound, or a Dingo Dog. I have no idea why, but it keeps him indoors amused.
Radar my GS x Spaniel looked like a black shepard, I would tell people he was a Palindrome, surprising how many nodded wisely!
Yep!Welsh springle?
Leonbergers are quite rare though! Actually so are standard poodles, I almost never see them. I met a pair of Irish water spaniels the other day that I mistook for standard poodles 😳😳
I was asked if my littermates were smooth collies. The lady was very insistent. I think they look very typical of the breed although they’re overly tall at 21 inches (IMO) When Bear cut his pad late on Christmas Eve and I popped him to the emergency vet, she hoicked him-with difficultly-onto the table and exclaimed ‘He’s a big cocker.’ Bonkers.
My dog groomer has three large Munsterlanders, they are fabulous dogsThere's a lady in the next village who breeds large Munsterlanders. Beautiful dogs they are but I bet she gets fed up of people asking what her 'springers' are crossed with
I have WCS, Springer and a Lab . my Lab is out of working stock- looks like the fox red variety- (although not paperered-pure gamekeeper bred) and very fit and lean- I often get people saying how lovely she is then they ask what breed
They are fit looking Labs Clodagh, I think if I met them I'd check what breed they are.
