Purebreds have a lot of high standards placed on them if they are planning to be a top show dog or cat. Their coats must be well groomed, their stance just right, and their manners top-notch. They’re also expected to have traditional markings according to their breed. But what about the odd ones out that don’t conform to those standards? They sometimes have the coolest coats of all. See for yourself!
1. Am I looking at a tub of cookies ‘n cream? Now I’m hungry.
2. Hello you beautiful half brindle, you.
3. …You sure you’re not a zebra? Like, positive?
4. “Yeah, I know I’m beautiful.”
5. “Look deep into my fur…you’re getting very sleepy…now go get my treats…”
6. He’s basically a baby liger.
7. Grey hair is in right now…
8. She’s an odd mix of cute and creepy.
9. You look just like your mother…no, your father. Wait — your mother?! Ah!
10. If this isn’t the most handsome dachshund I’ve ever seen…
11. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a tabby-calico combo before?!
12. …Nor a Siamese-tabby combo.
13. “I’ve really gotta do something about my roots…”
14. He is the yin to his own yang.
15. He’s always dressed to kill with that tuxedo.
16. “With a face like mine, are you really surprised I’m spoken for?”
Not. One. Bit!
17. Merles always look so unique, but they’re actually pretty common!
18. You see it on shepherds all the time…
20. But it’s a little more surprising when you see it on cute corgis!
21. …And a full-white merle can be an indicator of serious health problems and irresponsible breeding…but sometimes they make it out okay!
22. “What? You’ve never seen someone wear their heart on their sleeve before?”
If it were up to me, we would let all of these guys enter the competitions…and they’d be the ones winning all the prizes! They are, in my opinion, the cool kids.
