I bought a long-haired Chihuahua but he turned into a totally different dog – people say it's my fault for not realising | The Sun

A HAIRSTYLIST that snapped up a bargain long-haired Chihuahua was left dumbfounded when it grew up into a completely different breed.

Jordan Skye “saw a cute white furball” advertised for £230 and got excited. 


Long-haired Chihuahua puppies typically cost between £500 and £1500 in the UK.

Jordan rushed to buy the little pooch when she saw it for sale on popular US selling site Craigslist. 

The seller told her that it was a white Chihuahua.

When the dog grew up, it turned out to be a Jackie-Bichon – a cross between the Jack Russell Terrier and the Bichon Frise.

Alongside clips of her pooch as a puppy, she wrote: “I bought a long-haired Chihuahua for $275 from a girl off Craigslist.

“And it turned into this.”

However, people have said it’s her own fault for not noticing that Kiwi wasn’t a Chihuahua in the first place.

One wrote: “That looks nothing like a Chihuahua. 

“How did you fall for that?

“He’s still cute though.”

Jordan comically replied: “Saw a cute white furball and got excited.”

Another woman couldn't help but point out the pooch’s similarity to her dog.

She penned: “Looks identical to my Jackie-Bichon.”

Jordan assured that Kiwi "is the best doggy though” alongside clips of her four-legged friend.

Dog experts advise looking at a puppy’s size, ears, eyes and head shape to confirm it’s a Chihuahua.

The little dogs are some of the smallest in the world with pointed ears and full, round eyes.
