Develop a very thick skin!! Like stated above, you have to take the good advice, and ignore the crazy stupid stuff. If you see an opportunity to educate someone, use it, otherwise, I just smile and change the subject. Some people you will never change their mind, but I try every chance I get. Usually, I wait till someone is petting her and she's loving on them before I tell them her breed.

Just remember that most people are basing thier "predjudice" on media sensationalism. If they are half joking, smile and try to diffuse the situation. I usaally try to tell a "funny" and 99% of the time it works.
If they have a little dog and tell you your dog looks like it is going to eat thier dog you can say (say they have a chihuahua)..."Did you hear about the Chihuahua that killed a Pit Bull here last weekend?" They will always look astounded and say "No!". You reply, "Yeah it got stuck in his throat...". It usually hits them and they laugh a bit. If they have kids I usually go with..."He only eats two kids a day and he had them this morning...". Either way, try to break the "ice" and show them how in control your dog and YOU are... On the other hand if they are complete "tools" I will usually say, "I will take that into consideration but I will consider the source first...". They usually are stumped and left scraching thier brains or nuts...whichever is lower...in IQ or Sperm Count... |
