Mystery pet: TikTok user discovers chihuahua isn't what it seems
It was supposed to be a sweet, tiny dog. Although one TikTok user's pet remains adorable, it's far from a chihuahua. The internet user admitted that he spent £570 on the four-legged friend. After a few months, the dog grew, and it was definitely evident that it was not of the mentioned breed.
When deciding on a dog, many people must consider, for example, allergies to fur. Unfortunate individuals who desire a pet but have allergies choose purebred dogs that lack the mentioned allergen, which is fur. Others opt for small breeds, due to their living arrangements or frequent travel. There are indeed many reasons for choosing a specific breed.
Recently, we keep hearing about the consequences of trusting pseudo-breeders. On social media, there is no shortage of comments from people who have been deceived, often for a significant amount of money. Recently, an adorable "chihuahua" puppy appeared on TikTok. However, the dog did not stop growing after reaching its intended size. Today, it definitely does not resemble the pet of the mentioned breed.
He wanted a chihuahua. He showed what it grew into
At the beginning of the recording, we see a small puppy that at first glance looks like a typical representative of a small dog breed. However, it quickly became clear that the little one had little in common with a purebred chihuahua.
Currently, the dog is considerably larger, and, speaking of purebred dogs, it resembles a wire-haired fox terrier more than the miniature. It should be emphasised that purebred chihuahuas are quite an expense. Purchasing such a puppy with a pedigree costs over a thousand pounds.
"I don't know how one could not notice this"
A discussion among internet users erupted under the video. Many stated that from the beginning, it was evident that the little one was not a representative of a small breed, and certainly not a "teacup" chihuahua.
"I don't know how people can be so confused that this doesn't look like a teacup chihuahua. The real ones are skinny, have big heads, thin legs, big paws, and small feet";
"You won't pay £570 for a real teacup chihuahua. Regular prices start at about £800," TikTok users write.
