When a "chihuahua" isn't what you expected: The CAD 950 surprise

This was supposed to be a sweet, little dog. Although the TikTok user's pet is still adorable, it's far from a chihuahua. The internet user admitted that they spent 700 dollars, equivalent to almost 950 CAD, on the four-legged friend. After a few months, the dog grew, and it's clearly not a representative of the aforementioned breed.

When deciding on a dog, we must consider many factors, such as our lifestyle, preferences, the time we can devote to it, and housing conditions. Many people opt for miniature breeds due to their "compact" nature.

Recently, we increasingly hear about the consequences of buying animals from pseudo-breeders. Social media is full of accounts from people deceived, often for a significant amount of money. Recently, a video featuring an adorable "chihuahua" puppy appeared on TikTok. However, the pup did not stop growing after reaching its supposed final size. Today, it definitely does not resemble a representative of the mentioned breed.

At the beginning of the video, we see a small puppy that, at first glance, looks like a typical representative of a small dog breed. However, it quickly became apparent that the little one had little in common with a purebred chihuahua.

Currently, the dog is significantly bigger and, speaking of purebred dogs, it resembles a wire-haired fox terrier more than the aforementioned miniature. It should be noted that purebred chihuahuas are quite an expense. Purchasing such a puppy with a pedigree costs over a thousand CAD.

A discussion emerged under the video among internet users. Many people claimed that from the beginning, it was clear the puppy was not a representative of a small breed, let alone a "teacup" chihuahua.

"Real chihuahuas are skinny, with large heads, thin legs, big feet, and small paws,"

"You won't pay 950 Canadian dollars for a real chihuahua breed. Regular prices start at 1,400 Canadian dollars," TikTok users write.
