[alice henley]

   Hello doodle family, I was just at the store getting gas when some man came up and said what kind of dog is that I told him a doodle, the man just look at me and said and I quote"thats a big dog". I said yea but no bigger that an golden retriever again he just look at kash. I wondering do other people get the same reaction in there town?? me I get tried of hearing it , even by family members. It just make me want to scream!! they act like kash is great dane (I've always wanted one) or something, im gald kash cant understand what they are saying cause he might not give them any more kisses :).Do any one have this happening to them and there pet.......negative remarks????

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME I JUST DONT LIKE THE WAY THAT IMPLY IT, THEY HAVE SEEN LARGE DOGS BEFORE BUT WHEN I GET ME ONE THEY JUST HAVE SO MUCH TGO SAY ABOUT IT.

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

I get this all the time. I tell people they shrink in the wash! Lol

[alice henley]

I LOVE YOUR REPLY, I THINK I WILL USE THAT ONE NEXT TIME

[F, Calla & Luca]

If only. I would keep washing Calla until she was small enough for me to lift : )

[Joanna, Zoe & Bender]

Haha Bender is only 56 lbs but everyone comments that he's HUGE! I think partly because his fur and partly because I'm a short person so he looks extra large next to me. I don't think they are negative comments tho... Because people do comment that he's gorgeous as well. I also think people say/think this because they are used to small dogs that are cute and fluffy and then they see the doodles so its shocking and amazing to them.

YOU HAVE A POINT I'VE ALWAYS HAD MIN.DOGS SO IT JUST MIGHT BE A SHOCK FOR PEOPLE TO SEE ME WITH A BIG DOG THIS TIME.

[Adina P]

My Rosco gets that ALL the time, but I consider him a large dog: 85-95 lbs and 27.5" to the shoulder.

[alice henley]

OMG! THAT REALLY IS BIG, MY KASH HIS ONLY 7MONTHS OLD, THEY SAY HE'S STILL GROWING BECAUSE HE HAS BIG PAWS BUT I'M HOPING HE HAS JUST ABOUT REACHED HIS ADULT SIZE. DOES BIG PAWS HAVE ANY THING TO REALLY DO WITH IT?

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

Lucy has Really big paws and she is a full grown mini at 35 lbs.

[Stella]

I think that generally people are getting smaller dogs these days, my Hartley is 75lb and 27inches at the shoulder. We get comments all the time about what a big dog he is. To me he isn't even that big, a big dog is an Irish wolfhound!! My other LD, Chase, hovers around 50lb and to me he is small!! But I guess that he really is an 'average' size for a dog!!

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

I don't think the term big dog is being mean, just an observation.  I love Big Dogs

[Suzanne & Jack]

People always think Jack is an Irish Wolfhound.  I usually like to play along and either tell them he is an Amish Wolfhound or a Mini Irish Wolfhound.
