Default Saw a strange dog at work today.

While I was out in the park today loading up some logs for firewood
(we're taking out trees that are dangerous for various reasons) I saw
the guy who runs the mow crew (another park employee) talking to one of
our campers, probably to make sure it was okay with her to mow close to
her RV. The lady was holding her dog back while he talked to her. The
dog jumped up on my coworker, snarled, lunging at the end of its leash
as he turned, and then popped him in the ankle. My thought was "Gee,
if that were my dog, I'd have all sorts of trouble if he behaved like
that in public." It really bothers me that small dogs are allowed to
misbehave while large dogs aren't.

Aaaaaaaanyway, the weird part: dog looked like it was a Cocker/Poodle
cross with one merle parent (likely the Cocker). it was colored almost
identical to Beau, but with a Poodle coat and Cocker shape. I've never
seen a merle "cockerpoo" before. Seems just the thing for a BYB to
churn out, but I've just never seen one before. Maybe I just don't see
them as much, I dunno (FWIW, I live in Amish-puppymill-central, so I
see a lot of random bred and poorly bred dogs).

Around here the "parti poodles" are big byb sellers. I wonder if
they're being used to produce cockerpoos. Some of them have ticking
that looks almost merlish.

I have a puppy in class that's an Aussie/Shar-pei mix. Looks like a
merle shar-pei. unique to say the least!
