JohnLloydJones Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I woiuld like to know why everyone thinks Jin is female. Rhys, who's previous career was a stud dog, and thinks of himself as the tough guy, is also perplexed why everyone thinks he is female.

Laurae Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yup, everyone thinks Taz is a girl, too. He is personally affronted! I know Anda's Ouzo has the same affliction. I tell them it's because they're beautiful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligande Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 That is my tough guys problem as well, although tri so we get the quizical is "she" a border collie, and occasionally mistaken for an aussie with a tail his biggest complaint is to the frequent comment "oh what a pretty girl" ......

Anda Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Ohh, yeah.. Ouzo the girl - it's a classic by now. He's always a "she" until he lifts his leg higher than his head and pees on anything pee-able, then they tend to believe me he's a boy. People seem to be a bit disappointed once they find out he's a boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 My pittyX gets that all the time. Hey, buddy, why is your dog wearing a girl collar?? Um, because he's a girl? Nyx just sloughs it off though, she thinks people are weird at the best of times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooky Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah, everyone thinks Odin is a girl, including my parents who should know better. And everyone thinks my brother's pittie mix is a boy (including my parents, who should know better). He was neutered early though, and has a very feminine-looking face. Also, most people don't know what he is, even though he's got about the most classic, almost comformation-type markings you could want (although not much coat and flying nun ears). However, just the other night a chlid of no more than 5 shouted across the street at us, "BAA RAM EWE!!!" So some people aren't clueless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSmitty Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Alex gets "Oh, SHE'S so pretty" all the time. But I can't say that I blame them. He is a wee, dainty thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martySQ Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Bess gets called a he all the time.. I wonder if it is because people see the dog is with a woman so it must be a male??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anda Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Bess gets called a he all the time.. I wonder if it is because people see the dog is with a woman so it must be a male??? Obviously that's not the case - given how many of us have just said our male dogs are mistaken for females all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansmom Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Haha! Oh my.... wow. Yeah, for only $7000. No thanks I'll keep the "fox" I saved from the animal control center for $35! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclare Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 My mom, who is decidedly NOT a dog person, has this bizarre inability to mentally assign gender to animals. When referring to any of my dogs (permanent or foster) she just uses whichever pronoun pops out. Like, "Daisy's so well-behaved. You have clearly been working hard with him."

Brad Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Obviously that's not the case - given how many of us have just said our male dogs are mistaken for females all the time I suspect in my case, I may come across as someone that would have a male. And Nyx is a wee bit muscular, but she's just got a pretty girl face. Not sure how anyone can get it mixed up. First time I saw a pic of her, I knew she was a girl!!

Withzia Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Obviously that's not the case - given how many of us have just said our male dogs are mistaken for females all the time Zephyr is almost always mistaken for female. (After two years our next door neighbor still can't get it right.) And I've lost count of how many times I've been asked if he was Zin's mom. To me he's such a goofy boy, so I just can't see what other people are seeing in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InLikeFlynn Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Flynn has been mistaken for a springer spaniel or a border collie cross; he's often mistaken for a girl too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnewe2 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 My mom, who is decidedly NOT a dog person, has this bizarre inability to mentally assign gender to animals. AhhHaa So that's my Mom's problem! I have dogs that are over 10 and she only gets one right. Jazz will always be a girl for my Mom but she was with me when I first got her so I figure she's a bit more bonded to her. But the rest can switch genders in the same conservation. All my dogs look like the gender they are. Or at least have never been mistaken for the other gender. Now Mick gets accused of being lots of different breeds but I think it's cause he's mostly black. But people always get his gender right. At least my Mom gets her grandkids gender right....most of the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
