Бред сивого кобеля ?
What does it mean "Бред сивого кобеля"?
? Is that ?
Brad is a grey dog ?It´s the name of book writen by Вильмонт Екатерина Николаевна.Thank you all for the explanations. But it turns out that I wonder now why the words are governed by this case, but the other: сивого кобеля instead of сивой кобылы. Was it done on purpose?

Yes, I guess, you're right, it will be done on a purpose. Word кобель has 2 meanings: male dog and gigolo. I read summary of this book. Maybe title Бред сивого кобеля can mean that female character thinks your feelling to man is absurd. Because he is too good for her.

It's well-established phraseologism. Public considered that an ash gray mare was a stupid animal. If you would see it in your dream it means you would be fooled soon.
