Dog Section: Ever have a case of paw in mouth(foot in mouth)?

Nope;I don't enable those in denial.

& don't care if the fools get bent.

I don't think I could have prevented saying either..." there's no such THING as Silver Labs according to the national breed club", or ..."there's no such THING as Silver Labs according the AKC Lab breed standard."

Every one of the "SILVER LABS" I've seen, has tons of Weim physical characteristics, - which if you KNOW the breed well and truly KNOW certain details of: ear characterisics, coat shading, eye color, etc, etc. are not typical = of correctly bred, Labs (this aside from the obviously incorrect & extremely recessive silver, coat color).

Who knows, maybe solid color Dals will be next....

Yes. I wasn't face to face though, it was on a Shelter FB site.

So they have this dog down as a BC x Bearded Collie. I commented saying I fail to see any Bearded Collie in the dog at all and looks more Aussie mix.

Well their response? He was an owner surrender who bought the dog as a BC x Bearded Collie, so that's what he is.

-headdesk- So if I surrender a mutt, I can call it whatever mix I like and they'll believe me, when the dog clearly doesn't look like what I say??

Here is the dog in question:

Nope, but had a case of paw-in-eye.

Puppy was jumping around in puppy frantic joy the way they do and managed to push a paw up under my eyelid; I thought he nearly scratched my brain.

That hurt probably about like what you heard.

>>"He's a purebred SILVER lab!"<<

That's why if you manage to buy a German dog they send you the worst dog they can find; since they know someone is just gonna mess it up. I came upon a German dog forum and they were absolutely livid about "silver labs." A dis-service to 2 breeds.

LOL, poor you! I haven't really said anything to offend people, but I've had to try really hard to keep my mouth shut lately.

Example:

Conversation over coffee with friends and their friends (we were talking about our dogs):

Me: Oh, I have a pure-bred Lab.

Friend: Oh, Coco! She's so cute!

Me: Thanks, what kind of dog do you have?

Friend: Oh, a Labradoodle! He's so cute, I love his breed name too!

Me: *Takes a big gulp of coffee to avoid offending people*

Friend 2: Aww, a Labradoodle! I have 2 Cavoodles!

Friend 3: Cute! I have a Maltipoo!

Then everyone asks why I'm so silent, I just replied: "oh, coffee was too hot, burnt my mouth..."

Awkward... I got home and let my anger out on Coco. Don't worry! It was through pegging a ball down the yard for her to chase.

A little while back I was out with my BC and had a couple approach me, asking if he's purebred etc. etc.

And we got talking about the breed, I mentioned about how it's sad so many of them are neurotic because people purchase them and don't have time for them.

They agree but proceed to tell me that they can't turn their ceiling fan on because he follows it, and that ever since the introduction of the lazer pointer he's always looking for it.....

In a round about way it was my foot in my mouth
