I took Samson & Pippin to Theisens today & got asked "How much do they eat...I bet they eat alot...I bet they eat you out of house & home" or some variation of at least a half dozen times.
Met some young dingy girl who asked no questions at all but almost immediatly squealed "I'M GETTING ONE"...I strongly discouraged that without alot of research first to which she replied "Well, I already have a Lab/Retriever mix I know ALL about dogs"!...I told her Pyrs weren't like Labs or Retrievers & got "I know all about dogs" again... So,I told her Pyrs were really dog aggressive & probably wouldn't get along with her dog & went on my way
...O.k...I was being bad but I shuddered to think of her owning one of my beloved breed because she didn't have a clue & didn't want a clue she just wanted "one".
I also had a guy come up & tell me he used to have a St. Bernard too
...WHAT?...LOL!
Here are my rare white St. Bernards disguised as sheep so they don't get mobbed everywhere they go.
