What breed do people confuse your dog with?

Now that Cane is grown, he is not allowed out amongst people but most commonly we hear from a distance " Oh Shit". They never come up and ask what he is. LOL

Poor dog, he's going to start to think that his other name is Oh Shit. lol. Thanks for the laugh by the way.

We usually get asked first if they are mastiff's then we get what kind?
I haven't gotten really anything else with Aurora, once or twicw asked if she was a Neo. When walking Black Jack and Raw we usually get the sidewalk to ourselves lol. But a lot of people approaching and asking questions.
They tend to get a fair amount of attention.

I had a lady at a yard sale in front of my house call Juno a boxer. The friend having the yard sale told her she wasn't and the lady argued stating she had had boxers all of her life and she knows what they look like. This was a month or so ago. The lady looked at me and asked me, "isn't that a boxer". I kindly replied no, it's a Cane Corso. The look on her face was like I smacked her. I then told her Juno was an Italian Mastiff and she said "oh okay" like she suddenly knew.

Last week when I took Juno in for her eye surgery, since Juno loves my vets office for some reason, a guy vet tech said his boxers were rambunctious also. I didn't have to correct him. All the women there love Juno and I thought they were going to jump on him as they corrected him. They even pronounced Cane the correct way. Juno is the only CC they see.

mack big mouth.jpgprecious sleeping in chair.jpgI constantly have people thinking that both of my CC are pitbull mixes... I too have to explain that they are Italian Mastiff's ~ I am to the point of having both dogs a shirt made explaining that they they ARE NOT pits or pit mixes...

In the past month I have been asked 3 times if he is a Shar Pei. Yes a 130 pound Shar Pei. Just last week I was told he looks like a Husky....A HUSKY. That one I could not understand. There is one puppy at the dog park that does look like a mini Boerboel. He is a Shar Pei x Beagle and 20 lbs. I was told that the normal mix is a Shar Pei x Basset Hound and is known as a Walrus...Why?

A shar pei is almost as funny as calling a mastiff a pug. I want to tell people I have a 60 lb pug & see what they say!!! ;)
