BingBlaze n Skyla Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I thought this could be quite fun, my huskies often get mistaken for other breeds etc my boy was called a werewolf by 2 kids who ran away screaming 😂 and my wooly girl has been called a polar bear and a German shepherd x golden retriever, what are some of the funniest things/breeds your dogs have been mistaken for?

Emma Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Bear has been called an Elkhound. My niece used to call her "Bear wolf". Pepper is often called a pug or Boston terrier. noones confused Ice or Brooke as far as I can remember right now (which isn't saying too much tbh 😆) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARMANI & ALINAH Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Some kids a few streets over have asked, "Are those real wolves?!!"😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I've also heard "Is that a wolf?!" exclaimed by one teenager to another when we were out walking Mayo. The other teenager did know that she's a husky. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMANI & ALINAH Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 That's just too funny!! I think kids & teenagers are so taken by their beauty that they go into shock!! 🐺🐺🐾🐾😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimkasMom Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Simka was mistaken for a “pet coyote” by one of the townies a while back. Hahahaha:) 😜 Natalie & Simka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Another person -- this time an adult -- has asked if Mayo is a wolf. Granted, the person seemed to be very high at the time. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petertmartin Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Haha there are sadly people at the park that regularly ask if I can keep my dog away from theirs or purposely avoid us (other owners mentioned that people avoid the "vicious wolf" "that has attacked my dog" at the park)Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 People often say ‘is that a timber wolf’ about Luka blue, Cai has been called a malamute, a wolf and a toddler once said ‘mummy look at that giant fox’ that one made me laugh. Every day on our walks people walk their dogs off lead and when they spot us walking towards them they swiftly put theirs back on the lead, temporarily, as soon as we pass them they let them off lead again, it’s as tho they think mine are vicious dog killers!Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie’sZoo Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 While my Kai is 20% wolf and 80% husky I still don’t see how EVERYONE mistakes him for a full wolf!? He looks like a full husky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 We took Mayo to meet the celebrant of our wedding at the end of the year. She asked if Mayo is a "Game of Thrones dog". Haha. Google tells me GoT dogs are apparently the Northern Inuit, with a bit of Siberian Husky in them. 23 hours ago, petertmartin said: Haha there are sadly people at the park that regularly ask if I can keep my dog away from theirs or purposely avoid us (other owners mentioned that people avoid the "vicious wolf" "that has attacked my dog" at the park) We haven't had that in dog parks, but on walks I have seen people panic and more or less drag their dogs across the street to avoid us, which naturally stressed out their initially calm dogs. Another dog park regular with a husky did tell us someone made the comment that she has "another one of those dogs". Huskies just play a bit rough!

Markulous Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Mainly suggestions that I should have a sled (as they know they're Huskies) to which I always reply that we're looking for it...... and the snow 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily there are some big dogs at my park so she plays as rough with them as they give her but they really do go for it lucky the owners don't careSent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMANI & ALINAH Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 A month ago, we ran into these older teens on the street again. They asked, "So are your wolves nice?" (Same teens I've told before they're Huskies LOL!![emoji23] I told them they're extremely nice.) They said, "Do you think we could pet them?" (I said sure & told them it was very nice they asked!!) After the older teens pet them, they fell in love with ARMANI & ALINAH vice versa!! One said, "I always thought wolves would bite & be mean." (I said, "Wolves are wild & should run away, but our dogs are not wild & are Huskies!!") These teens looked at me funny[emoji848][emoji4]smiling like I don't realize I actually have "wolves!!" (I think they want to believe they are nice wolves!![emoji4]) Ya gotta love these kids!![emoji191][emoji191][emoji274][emoji267][emoji171]Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadzia1313 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I have a Tamaskan and two husky/GSD mixes. I hear "wolfdogs," "coyote, " and even once "dingo." I heard dire wolves once. A cable guy once refused to go in the back yard because I had "a pack of wolves." Sigh. I'm in a wolfdog illegal area. ALL my dogs are just dogs. 100 % dogs. The biggest one is my male at a whopping 68 pounds! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael_Astro Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 I’ve just had wolves I think! It’s great when parents say ‘yeahhh’ when their kids say wolves [emoji85] There is an actual wolf dog in my town and he’s SO tall! The guy that owns the little old cinema in town owns him,never had chance to speak to him but would love to meet the wolf dog (always driving when I see them!)Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpup Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Most people think Lunar is a white German Shepherd (he is a Utonagan) - the only one who got it right was a kid around 9 years old - he used to have one! Most people ask me what Marley is - they are not used to seeing long haired huskies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
