    30 Times Dogs Turned Out To Be Different Breeds Than The Owners Expected

    When it comes to choosing a dog, everyone has their own preference. Needless to say, that the type of dog has a lot to do with someone’s decision-making, as far as choosing a pet is concerned. Unfortunately, some owners can get a surprise when they realize that their dog is a different breed than they first thought.

    Dogs are one of the most diverse species in the world with more than 360 officially recognized types of dog. And these don’t include the mixed, crosses and experimental ones that have yet to attain official status. As we all know it, dogs significantly vary in size and appearance. Depending on your specific preference, there’s a particular dog for you out there.

    Different Dogs Suit Different Owners

    Do you prefer large athletic dogs? The Labradors, German shepherds, retrievers, collies, huskies and Rottweilers are some of the best options for you. Do you prefer cutesy lapdogs? The poodles, chow chows, Yorkshire terriers, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians and corgis would be your best choices. However, the diversity of dogs also makes it difficult to differentiate one type from the other. For instance, even dog enthusiasts have a hard time telling an Alaskan malamute and a Siberian husky apart. The Lhasa Apso and the Shih Tzu also look so similar that people often cannot differentiate them.

    You Must Do Your Research When You Want A Dog

    If you’re planning to get a new dog, we highly advise that you do a thorough research about the specific dog you like. There have been several instances where owners realize that their dogs are growing up into a seemingly different than they expected. Keep in mind that some dogs come from sellers that may try to scam you. Just to make sure you’re getting the real deal, always ask to see the dog’s parents. If they refuse to let you see the parents, it’s a clear sign of fraud and you should turn the other way.

    But for these people, the fact that their dogs are a completely different breed is not that bad. Regardless of what they turned out, these proud owners loved them even more than before. It just shows the love between owners and pets. What turns out to be a blunder eventually ends up as a blessing in disguise. And it’s a mistake that they would never regret.
