Help - I think my dog is a racist

donfers

The dog is quite young, he is a cross between a shihtzu and a maltese terrier and quite a friendly playful puppy most of the time, he is very friendly to all people and loves to play and run around, anyway I have been taking him for walks and whenever he sees other completely white dogs like himself, he runs to them and plays and is generally friendly and nice with those white dogs, however whenever he sees a coloured dog he either snubs them or barks at them and growls, baring his rather unfierce teeth, but the aggression is there.........once he was rather playful with a white terrier, they were jumping up and down together and having a laugh and a bit of craic as they shadow boxed and did pole vaults etc etc and then suddenly my dog noticed the white terrier had a black spot on his back so my dog wandered off aloof and when the terrier tried to continue playing with him, my dog growled his disapproval

I am disappointed in him and need to show him that this kind of behaviour is not on

Is my dog a racist?

and if so what should I do about it

Once he's not gay I wouldn't worry too much.

Stop stealing Doug Stanhope jokes. :pac:

Your dog is indeed a racist.

You can't expect him to change for you, he's an innocent animal. Instead, to prevent any embarrassing situations, form a plan to make racism acceptable in society.

Problem solved.

You should train him to do a Nazi salute.

Your dog is scared of the dark.

I think he has gone barking mad.

All dogs are racists.
It's how they deal with it that counts.

...and not humping your leg. That's all you need to know about dogs.

First time I've laughed all day! Maybe he's watching too much Curb Your Enthusiasm?

I wouldn't go as far as calling THAT a DOG.

Your dog is a friggatriskaidekaphobe who suffers from mild coulrophobia. That's perrfectly normal for a dog.

You make it sound as if it's a bad thing

That's not a dog, it's a rat. Oh and yes I reckon he's Klan alright.

Get him to run for President. Hell, it can't get any worse.

loike

my dog is the same, expect its black people she barks at not other colored dogs

That's just weird....

My dog used to be, but I got her counselled.

No. Like his owner, it's unlikely he knows the meaning of the word 'racist'.
