26 Pups that Turned Out to be a Different Breed than What People Expected
Share
All woofers are adorable <3
First things, first. All doggos are adorable. We love them all no matter their breed, of course. It is so weird though, to buy or adopt a pup, knowing it’s one breed, only to say at one point: “well this is not a cocker spaniel!”
I mean, what if you have a small apartment, or you are quite skinny, and end up with a giant dog? Or if you want a sniffer and you end up with a cuddler? I think it makes it all the funnier!
Either from salespeople bamboozling clients or just dog guardians making identification mistakes, they say, it happens often. Well, at least it happened 26 times, as we will find out bellow.
Has this ever happened to you? How did you react?

He’s a hound mix… they said. He will be 45 lbs max… they said. They didn’t say he was mixed with Great Dane. And that he would be 45 lbs when he was 4 months old. Loki is now a comfortable 100lbs.

Our Little Girl was speculated to be a Beagle mix. However, I don’t believe I’ve ever met a 70 lb Beagle mix before. But we love her, whatever she is!
