I have always wondered why time shares aren't pet friendly…most of us folks have pets and we think of them as family.
Speaking of family, when my younger grandchildren come to visit, they do a lot MORE damage than any pet I have ever owned.
Wonder why they still accept kids...kidding
TOO Funny NOT to share!!

The weirdest guess I've gotten, was when a woman was clearly upset that I dared to shave my chow chow. She and her friend gave me a piece of their (and PETA's) mind. Once the ranting and raving stopped, I shyly (I was only 14) explained that he was a Basenji, not a chow. She didn't believe me.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats too funny. What a HUGE difference.
I love it when people ask what kind of Terrier we have.
Terrier???? Not even close! -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That's the funniest one I've heard!!!
I'm asked a lot if they're JRT's or ratties…but a schipperke...NEVER!

My wife must have met your guy's cousin while she was at Petsmart with She-Ra buying food. He kept insisting that Basenji's were Brazilian hunting dogs, and she's trying to tell him they're African, and I guess he had a few people around so he's trying to save face so he started like citing sources or something that made them South American dogs.
Sadly, I wasn't there. I'm like one of those old Coronet films they made you watch in school when it comes to Basenji facts.

Ahhh good one! Classic. Whenever we are out people ask what kind of breed Mick is and we say Basenji. They always knock themselves on the head (as in "oh I could've had a V8") and say "Oh wow a Basenji". Then they always replied "I've never seen one in person"

I was asked once if Cooper was a Pit Bull puppy… And we're always telling people that he's not a terrier and not shaved.
Do your basenjis get mistaken for puppies regularly? I guess with their energy and stature, people think that they still have a lot of growing to do. I just smile and say, "Oh, he's 2 1/2! He's done growing, but he'll be this bouncy forever!"

Yes, everyone thinks Fiji is a puppy, "How big will she get?"
We get sooo many questions when we're out with her. A lot of folks get close - she gets called a Shiba Inu with cocky confidence on a regular basis.
This last weekend a guy called out "What's your dog's name?" When I said Fiji, he snapped at his wife: "See?! I told you it wasn't a Veeshily, it's a Fiji!" :rolleyes: I guess the wife thought she was a very small Viszla.

I still get told he's a puppy, when I say he's 14, they always shake their heads then ask "months, right?" nope he's 14 years old. "but he's a puppy!"
ummm…. no.... -
Yeah, everyone thinks Tosca is a puppy too, and don't seem to believe me when I tell them otherwise…like they know her better than me, lol!

hehehehe
hes probabaly at home reserching as we speak…... -
I've had two different people mistake Piper for a boston terrier. Both were walking bostons and came running over to play with my boston puppy then didn't want to believe me when I told them she was a basenji.
But I can't blame them because Piper thought their dogs were basenjis. She got so excited when she saw them coming just like she does whenever she meets another basenji. Unfortunately she found out that while they were nice dogs they just were not as fun as basenjis.:)
