Probably "Thank you", but "S/he is, isn't s/he" is also a possibility.

I'd scramble to think of some reply which jokingly used the word "dog", but then I'd second-guess myself realizing this stranger may be offended. So, ultimately, I would just sort of stare at the stranger with an odd look on my face until the awkwardness built up so much that the stranger walked away.

I either say thanks.

Or smile apologetically, and try to get them to repeat themselves. I didn't hear them over all the yapping my little dogs generate.

I just say "Thank you." That's what I've also seen others do.

I feel wierd about saying "thank you" which is a common response becasue it isn't like it's my baby or I created the pup with my own two hands. I say "she is, isn't she"!

I'd think it's kind of like telling someone their clothes look nice. Well, maybe not.

Well it's weird because they're not complimenting you, all you had to do is pick a breed and maybe brush it or something. Depends on who it is.

It would depend on my mood. I might just smile. I might say something whimsical about eating it for dinner... *grin*

"Mind your own business!" (just kidding).

I'd say "Thank you but I don't have a dog this is my girlfreind!" (just kidding again)

Ok, Ok I got it! "Thanks"

I get this a lot with my dog, who's still a puppy. He's a Welsh Corgi, which isn't an extremely common dog around here. I usually smile or say thanks.

What about if you picked the dog out yourself, because you thought it was cute? Then they'd be complimenting your breed choice? (sort of)
