This irritates me also. I tell them my Ruckus was adopted. I do let them know that they are a high maintenance breed and more than likely the purchase cost won't compare to the cost of maintaining them. That's when I get the "oh really?" Not that I'm trying to discourage, but people are clueless, which is why there are so many in rescues and shelters.
My baby's name is Ruckus, too!!!! People ask me all the time...if they've asked other questions about him and his breeder and they express serious interest in breed (and seem to be as obsessed with his wrinkly face as I am) then sometimes I'll tell them, otherwise I just sort of ignore the question and keep talking about another topic.
