My dog is constantly being mistaken for a girl!

[SpaghettiTwirlerAndProud]

He is a boy! People are always coming up to him going "Ahhh she's lovely!", "What a gorgeous coat she's got!", "She's such a beautiful dog."

Ffs it's not even as if he's got loads of shaggy fur hiding his willy, he's a greyhound!! Poor lad'll get a complex at this rate.

[Elibean]

He must have that sensitive, big eyed thang going

People see what they want to see, you know, even with human babies!!

[MagratGarlik]

People do that same with my whippet. I wonder if it's because he's been "done" and therefore doesn't have hairy black balls hanging down?

Mind you, as Elibean says, people do the same with human babies too, I was told when ds1 was about a year old, that he "must be a girl, because he was too pretty to be a boy " - nope I'm fairly sure the last time I changed his nappy, he was still a boy.

[MakeMineACafPow]

maybe these would help

[MagratGarlik]

love it!

[ExitPursuedByABear]

Well people always assume my bog snorkelling springer is a girl - must be his hair do (pic on profile)

[GobblersKnob]

Bless, everyone calls my whippy boy 'she' even my mum Pointies are just so beautiful.

[Monty27]

That's just not on

get him one of these

[SpaghettiTwirlerAndProud]

Ha! Fab :o

He is. Very handsome dog and he does have a small willy because he hasn't got his balls, but even so, it's not invisible!

I know what you mean with human babies. Someone said to me last week about DD "Oh she's beautiful! She is a girl right?" she was wearing a bright pink coat and had a pink steering wheel attatched to the buggy. People are odd.

[OrmIrian]

Dress him in pink?

[GrimmaTheNome]

I've taken a look at his pic on your profile. Blue collar, but I think slightly too pretty a shade maybe. Get him a leather collar (preferably with studs) and see if that sends a more masculine message.

[SpaghettiTwirlerAndProud]

Oh :( he likes his snazzy blue one

[GrimmaTheNome]

Its a very nice collar. You know, he probably doesn't actually mind being called 'she'.

[SpaghettiTwirlerAndProud]

I know, he probably hasn't a clue if he's a he or a she tbh :o iykwim.

[BehindLockNumberNine]

Spag, we have the same issue with Whippetyboy. I just tell him that people call him a girl because he is so beautiful (and so scaredy of everything and so shy...)

He has a red velvet tag collar, want to get him an orange polka dot one but the family have vetoed that as 'too girlie'

[axure]

Is the blue coat for males because of its colour or because it's tailored to suit the anatomy of a male? The beige version is also for males, are bitches only allowed to wear pink?
Personally I find commenting on the size of your dogs willy weird.

[EasyToEatTiger]

Perhaps he barks with a castrato voice? He may need to lower the tone.

[SpaghettiTwirlerAndProud]

I don't think he's barked for ages now. Can't remember when he last did!

axure, I know, I am weird like that. I notice random things. Someone I know had their boxer castrated at 8 because he had cancer on one of his balls, his willy has shrunk by at least half! Btw I would just like to say, I don't walk around staring at dogs groins comparing sizes.

I think people mistake him for a girl because he has a very sleek and shiny black coat, vair glamorous looking :o

[axure]

Relieved to know you're not a dog cock watcher .
On a similar note was just watching Foxes Live and have just discovered that foxes and dogs have penis bones.

[AdoraBell]

I'm sure he doesn't care, when I call my girl the boy comes running over.

[SpaghettiTwirlerAndProud]

Penis bones? Weird. Maybe that's where "boner" comes from.

[Elibean]

Penis bones? Gosh.....

....dd1 is a collector of fascinating facts, she'll love that one!

[Elibean]

Is it definitely true, though? (Before dd's teacher comes running out at school pick up time to question me)

I don't dare google!

[bronze]

Our gsdx girl is always called he. Must be butch

[bronze]

Have you not watched Qi? apparently men do look at dogs genitals all the time
