Doggie Ping!
Many vets are morons... they don’t know a purebred dog when they see one.
My German Shepherd always gets mistaken for a mix. She’s solid black.
Getting a purebred Carolina Dog from an animal shelter isn’t that unusual especially if uninformed employees lazily classify a rare breed dog as a “mix.”
Purebred dogs aren’t mutts or mongrels - period.
Re....... Many vets are morons
Must say I take exception to this statement. Know many Vets, married to one. No morons in the bunch.
What handsome dogs-they look like a lot of the scent hounds people here have to hunt small game-someone who lives across the river has three of them, and the dogs are very well trained-they bay at night, setting off dogs for miles and causing a din until you can hear a woman yelling, get inside you guys-now, and a door slamming...
My 15 year old purebred Siberian Husky gets mistaken for a wolf hybrid now and then when we are walking-she is gray and white like a wolf, and since those much smaller, less furry Alaskan Huskies have become popular on TV shows about Alaska, people are not so used to seeing the bigger furball, wolfish sled dogs like Siberians and Malamutes.
