We can relate about the rude comments! The moment we got Bella the questions started. "What breed is that? Sure doesnt look like a Newf, is that a lab mix?" Bella is more flat coated for a Newf. People we come across seem to assume that all Newfs have the fluffy coat. I could rant about all the stupid questions we get regarding her breed. I love it when people respond, "Really? THAT's a Newfoundland? Hmm. Sure doesnt look like one to me." Obviously these people know much more about the breed than I anyway right?
A while back we took the gang to the pet store. On our way out woman walks in the door. She begins to ooh and ahh over the gang. She then asks what breed Bella is, because she knows Rocco is a Newf. After we go into our explanation she says, "Well, I like the Black the one better than the brown one. He's cuter."
I felt like making a mean comment to her but decided she wasnt worth my breath of energy
Where do people get the nerve to make so many rude and insensitive comments?
Just the other day, we were asked if Bella was a Golden mix. Mike said he feels like giving them just as stupid answer by saying, "No she's a Chiuhua, and Rotti mix."
