Freaky Friday

In honor of Friday the 13th, of course.

My dogs have been mistaken for many, many breeds.

For instance, a couple of weeks ago when we were at the lake with Rory, two women walked by. One of them asked the other, "what kind of dog is that?" "Springer Spaniel," the other answered and nodded, assuring herself of her dog breed knowledge.

Here's a Springer Spaniel:

Here's Rory:

I know, I know. The similarities are uncanny, right? It's like you're looking at his twin.

Rylie has been referred to as a "teacup" before.

Rylie:

Now, look at the teacup. Then look at Rylie. Can you spot the differences between them? I sure can't.

Hope you all have a lucky Friday the 13th!

  1. Rylie looks so much like Draco. The little white socks and I even see a hint of a black wolfie tail, though Draco's wolf tail has gotten very black.

  4. You are right...perhaps you should ILP Rylie as a Springer Spaniel.

    Some people are dumb as a bag of hair.

  6. Hey at least Rory got the colour scheme right! That in itself should count for something ;)

  7. I can't tell the difference between Rylie and the teacup either..perhaps you are mistaken and she's not a chihuahua! *gasp* ;)

    And Rory looks nothing like that SS besides his coloring.

  9. Thanks, haha.

    Usually people ask us "is Rory a BC or an Aussie?" which I can understand. Some of the guesses, such as Golden Retriever on the other hand, really just make me shake my head.

  10. That's really funny... I feel your pain, I get TOLD that Jade is a spaniel or spaniel mix quite frequently. Beyond coat color, there are NO similarities between Spaniels and Border Collies!!

  11. Yeah, I completely agree. It always baffles my mind when people play "guess the breed."
