I get the same ignorance with Brutus. I always hear "my sister, brother...etc has an english bulldog and he looks nothing like that, are you sure he is an english"? Brutus is fawn colored and his snout is not as pushed in so people are convinced that he MUST be mixed with Mastiff. Ugh...I usually just ignore them. I have come to the realization in life that you can't fix stupid.
