Its funny, One day I was at the pet store with Jae-Blu as you all can see his color is a Blue, well some lady came by me and said oh that what a pretty pit, that if it was a Blue I said yes that is the name of his color. She goes and says Yeah he has some blue in him.. I was like HUH?? So I just walked away, lol... some people are so silly.... |

its not just the pits that get it. i have had so many people come up to me and say that they have a "rare white english" and then they act like im supposed to be impressed when the dog they are talking about isnt even an english its an old english.

It's definitely not just the pit bulls, but there's such a wide range of goofy 'names' for our dogs.  Years ago when I had Rottweilers, my male was in the truck with me when a guy at a convenience store told me (out of the blue) that his friend has a pure white 'Rockaweiler' that could whip my dog's as@. For some reason, I dignified his statement with a response and said that Rottweilers are only black and tan which apparently offended him b/c his friend has papers and got him from a top breeder.  No matter my Rottie, Zack, was out of a top 10 ranked male in the Nation with a UDx and his litter sister went to No. 2 bitch in the Nation. Neither one of them were white, though, darn it. lol |

People used to be sooo scared of my Siberian Husky for some reason (he was kinda big for a Sibe and had two piercing blue eyes and a full black mask). I'd tell people he was a wolf and they'd stare bug-eyed and get all freaked out. I'm mean some times |

The point being, he looked NOTHING like a wolf, and seriously, I don't know how anyone could have thought he actually was....

And why do so many native Spanish speakers spell chihuahua wrong? And I guess "pitt bulls" come from Pittsburg. Brick wall meets head. |

For some reason I was searching around for pit bull breeders and ran across Mr. Pitbull, a kennel which specializes (?) is XXL, pocket pit bulls, blue, red nose, blue nose, black nose...! If you aren't feeling nauseous, take a look at the website and you will. www.mrpitbull.com |

Okay those are some gorgeous American Bullies- I don't get it when people say pit bulls when everyone and their momma knows that those are dogs that have been mixed to create the American Bully..

I love it when people refer to rotties or labs as being "big block head" like they think it's actually a "type" or "line"
?, when talking about colors of pitties, what is piebald and mantle's? I've heard of piebald when talking about horses & it's when they have a mostly white face & 1 or both eyes are blue is it the same for dogs?

Piebald = patched. In otherwords, a white coat, with dark colored patches.
Mantle has to do with the color pattern - these dogs look like they are wearing a 'blanket' over their bodies (black coloring) and they have white points. The neck/shoulder area is white. I'll try to find a pic example.
