Does it offend you..

Meh.....I was just hyper sensitive where Chloe was concerned.  Probably because the inference was that I wasn't being a good owner by letting her get that way.  I don't get offended usually but I can completely understand that some people are.

No, it doesn't bother me. When I had Fizzy dobie (sleeping now) I was asked while out on a walk with her and Tiffany the B&T cocker if they were both dobermans 

Sasha is, I think, a worker x show, and I normally just say she's a spaniel - if she's at her fluffiest and someone is adamant she can't be a spaniel I say that maybe there's a bit of afghan in there - and they usually nod knowingly
