I bought a ‘£2k purebred morkie puppy’ – but I was baffled when it grew up to be something totally different
A WOMAN who splashed out on a “£2,000 morkie puppy” was devastated when she turned out very differently.
Influencer Amber Nunyo revealed her bizarre experience after she picked up her pedigree pooch.
She took to TikTok to share adorable snaps of her brown-and-black puppy Jellybean, who can be seen sporting a bow tie and sticking out her tongue.
The dog appears to be a “morkie”, a cross between a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier which can cost up to £2,000 online.
Jellybean was brown and black to start off with – but she was baffled by the adult dog she grew into.
She shared pics of the mutt’s face and paws suddenly turning white, before it turned out that Jellybean was actually white all over.
Amber said: “When I got my dog, I didn’t know she was going to change colour.”
There is no suggestion of foul play, as morkies have a habit of changing colour as they grow up.
Whatever Jellybean’s natural colour, she remains a very good girl.
But a recent video posted to Instagram shows the pooch, dressed in a neck cushion and picnic blanket, looking on morosely as Amber strokes a grey cat.
The influencer said: “Jellybean is not a happy camper when the cats get love.”
It comes after a woman who forked out for a purebred Australian Shepherd was stunned after he turned out very differently, shocking vets.
The American woman, who describes herself as an “authentic, relatable dog mom”, revealed her bizarre experience after picking up the mutt on Craiglist.
A video she posted to TikTok includes heartbreaking footage of him twitching on his side during a trip to the vet.
But she ended her TikTok with snaps of him as a healthy, happy adult dog smiling for the camera.
Another woman who bought an expensive purebred mini “poodle” explained why you should never buy a dog on Facebook.
American influencer Didi Perez revealed her shocking experience after picking up what she thought was a posh pooch on Facebook Marketplace.
The influencer shared adorable snaps of her puppy before it grew into an adult dog.
The nine-second TikTok video includes footage of the little mutt cutely pawing its way across the wooden floorboards of Didi’s living room.
But Didi was left stunned by what became of it as it got bigger.
Footage of the grown-up pooch revealed how it had become a wiry, hairless hound in no way resembling a purebred poodle.
You should only ever buy a dog from a certificated breeder and generally steer clear of purchasing animals online.
