Funny stories about misidentification LaRogue!

Here are a few of mine:

At the dog park: "Is that a dachshund?"

At the vet's office woman with a Sheltie: "Oh, mine kind of looked like that when she was younger."

Back at the dogpark, man with a Pembroke with a tail about his own dog: "Yes she's a Cardigan Corgi because she has a tail."

Dogpark (again) owner who left her ill-behaved Pembroke at home: "I always wanted to know if they are born with their tails that short."

Pet Supply Store customer: "Oh look at those stubby little legs! What is that? Do they bark much?"

My neighbor the veterinarian technician: "Aren't there four or five different breeds of Corgis?"

I have actually been surprised when people say, "Oh! I love Corgis!"

Cashier at the Pet Supply Store: "Someday I'm going to get a Corgi! Most people don't know they are bred as herding dogs." Yeah, for her!!!


Nub "wagging": I do sometimes have a hard time telling Charlie's mood by his tail. He only occassionally wags his tail or whole rear end. What I have noticed is that when he's happy, his little nub pops upright like a little cotton ball and when he's relaxed his tail is just flat in line with his back and held close to his butt.
