Some dog breeds look like puppies for life. With other dog children, the appearance changes so much with age that you hardly recognize them.
We found 10 dogs that look very different as puppies than they do as adults.
In contrast to puppies from animal welfare, with the breeds that we will introduce to you in a moment, you know exactly how little Drops will develop. Some of them are still really cute surprise packages.
1. Afghan Hound
The elegant one Afghan is known for his special head of hair.
You can see him fully grown Greyhound from Afghanistan almost only stylishly groomed, with a neat, curly mane and maybe even a little bow in her hair.
As a puppy he sees Afghan Hound completely different. What a cute fluff, isn’t it?
2. Briard
Even if that Briard does not come close to the coat of the Afghan hound, he also proudly wears one when fully grown long hairstyle.
The extremely intelligent Briard comes as fluffy ball of fur to the world, which you can only be sure of if you know that it is also a dog of this breed.
The dog child develops the typical appearance of a Briard much later.
3. Bearded Collie
Especially with long-haired dog breeds like the Bearded Collie, the puppies look very different from the adult dog.
While the adult Bearded Collie has a long and lush coat of fur in the colors black, black-brown, fawn, tricolor, brown or blue, the Baby Bearded Collie is born with a much shorter coat.
4. Bob tail
The bobtail looks confusingly similar to the young Bearded Collie, especially as a puppy.
Both dog breeds are herding dogs from Great Britain.
We find Bobtail puppies especially cute. What do you think?
5. Irish Wolfhound
Large, long-haired puppies often don’t look like what they want to be when they are puppies.
It’s the same with Irish wolfhound. It is almost unimaginable that this giant would also be born as a small, fluffy dwarf.
6. Puli
The puli has a very unusual fur dress. As an adult dog, he wears dreadlocks.
More precisely, a so-called cord hanging. This protects the Puli from attacks, injuries and weather during its actual task of tending sheep.
Puppies of this dog breed are born without dreadlocks. They actually look more like snow-white bobtail puppies.
7. Tibetan Terrier
The watchful, kind and affectionate Tibet terrier has long moved into many households – far away from his original task as a herd guardian.
As a puppy, the Tibetan Terrier looks completely different than as an adult. Sweet!
8. Bergamasca Shepherd Dog
Besides the Puli and the Komondor, there is another dog breed with absolutely crazy coats, the Bergamasque shepherd dog.
He probably has the baddest Stoke curtain of all and, like many other breeds, is born with a completely different appearance.
9. Saluki
The Saluki is an athletic, intelligent, quiet and reserved dog.
Nevertheless, the Saluki is also an excellent sight hunter from the greyhound family.
Saluki males reach a maximum height of 71 centimeters. Above all, the long legs make the noble dog appear graceful and graceful.
As a puppy there is no trace of it. They are round and cute like most puppies.
10. Basset Hound
At the Basset Hound even as a puppy you can tell what he wants to become. Although he could also become a beagle if it weren’t for his ears that keep growing…
As a baby basset hound, at least there is no need to worry about constantly stumbling over the ears that have been bred much too long – that comes later!
