What Kind of Dog is That?

[Penelope's Mom]

A lady asked me today if Franklin was a pit. I had to look at her like she was stupid,; I couldn't help it. In what world does an EM look like a pit? Lol

It's the brindle. We get that sometimes too. Not many people see brindle dogs that aren't pits or boxers.

Today at petco we heard some people trying to guess what Betty was...I heard the last day chocolate lab....she's a brindle with a BLACK mask....I just laughed and didn't bother to correct then from 10 ft away.

My CC is all black . I've had a couple of people think he's a lab. I'm like really. When is the last black lab you've seen with a tail docked? 2 people guessed correctly at petsmart the other day. I was impressed.

I will say, I am impressed at the amount of people who just ask what breed our two are. I have found I cannot say Mastiffs as people just assume I am speaking of Bull Mastiffs.

I always say English Mastiff. I don't just say Mastiff either, for the same reason.

I've found the opposite to be true where I live. Everyone asks if he is a mastiff, when I say, "a Bullmastiff" they say "my such and such has one and its a lot bigger". Clearly they don't realize that a 28 inch Bullmastiff that weighs 150 pounds isn't small. They have to think he is the same as an EM. EM does not equal BM!!!!!

To most people, a mastiff is a mastiff. They don't realize how many different breeds there are.

I was talking to a woman in Jiggers agility class a couple of weeks ago about what other dogs we had. When I said my other dog was an English Mastiff she paused and then asked if that was the same thing as the Mastiff. When I said yes and that I always say EM just to differentiate between the other mastiff breeds her eyes practically bugged out of her head and she asked if there was more than one type. I think everyone in the group ended up laughing at her expression, including her.

When I say to people my girl is a Cane Corso most people look at me funny. Then I say Italian Mastiff and they get a look of recognition on their face

I live in kentucky! These people are hilarious. Axel is 12 weeks old, 35# CC. I have 3 boxers too. At the local pet store I had 7 people standing around long story short: "I have a boxer", I say me too 3 of them at home. That led to.....I have pits too, ok I don't....lol....then massive.....then rotti.....then mutt, I say really $1500 mutt I got ripped off! I'm ordering a shirt that explains....it's a cane corso not a bullmastiff, not a boxer, not a pit, not a rott.....a cane corso! Going to have to wear every time we leave the house!
