I don't know how people say something like "your dog is ugly/chubby". I am not a fan of breeds like boxer or bulldog, but I'd NEVER tell the owners that their dig is ugly!
BTW, everyone screws up Shiro's name: Sheera? Is it she?.. How do you make that connection anyways?

"Aww your dog is chubby!" NO HE'S NOT. I hate that. How would people like it if I went up to them and was like, "Aww your kid is chubby."

I've gotten:
"Look at those ears!"
"What happened to his legs/tail?" (SOO clever)
"Is that a corgi?"
"Winston? What kind of name is Winston for a dog like that?"
"That dog is intelligent.. You can tell just by looking at him" (got that one yesterday at the vet hehe)

I've never had anyone ask if he's a mix before, or I don't remember it at least. If someone said, straight up, to my face, that corgis were ugly when they were older, I probably would've said, "Hm looks like that trait runs in your family as well .. hmm" CORGIS ARE THE CUTEST. Hands down.

Yeah,before I got Sadie I was telling everyone how I wanted a Corgi soo bad and I got several comments such as:
"they are just pigs with fur"
"they look like sausages"
and some other great comments, but none of those were directed to Sadie. She is a puppy so she still gets the "awww, how cuuute!!" comments

Yesterday one boy said "Chuhuahua!" at my baby. No comments

OMG; That woman was just rude. The worst comment I've heard about my Corgis is what happened to their legs or their tail? I tell them long legs cost more; the tail was extra and I didn't want to spend the money. :)However 3 of my 4 corgis are rescues. I bring my Corgis to work; 1 at a time and everyone absolutely looks forward to them.

Caleb gets called a beagle frequently (I have NO idea), but it's always in a nice way, as in: "Awwwwww! It's my favorite beagle dog!" We also get the German Shepherd with no legs comment (Which was what I thought the very first time I saw him). Never anything negative or rude, though. If someone called my baby fugly, I'd have told her it must take one to know one, then. But that's just me. :-)

Perhaps the woman spoke before she thought. Guess I've done that enough times.
Handsome is as handsome does. Fugly is as fugly does.
I've found an unexpected perk in having a dog: it's such a great conversation-opener. You can compliment somebody's dog, find something good to say about them. Makes us feel good (part of a dog's job description).
