Have you ever found yourself adopting a dog of a specific breed, only to later question if you were right? It’s a common scenario for many dog owners who have their preferred breeds. They often choose with great care, hoping to make the right decision.
In this story, we’ll explore the experience of a dog owner from South Dakota who discovered something surprising about her dog’s breed.
He Is Not A Rottweiler?

When Ash Monson adopted Pluto, she was convinced he was a Rottweiler. For months, he thrived in a loving home, surrounded by the people who cherished him. However, as he matured, Ash observed a shift: “He was beginning to resemble another breed more than a Rottweiler.”

Despite his appearance, many people mistakenly identified Pluto as a Rottweiler. Ash found it amusing, as she recorded a lighthearted video with the caption: “When your rottie puppy starts looking less and less like a rottweiler.” In reality, Pluto was a Beauceron, a relatively rare French breed that bears a resemblance to Rottweilers.
What Does The Internet Say?

After the clip about Pluto’s breed went viral, it was fascinating to see how many comments flowed in, with many viewers trying to inform Ash that Pluto was a Beauceron, although she already knew this. One user humorously remarked: “I don’t know what a Beauceron is, but it looks like a lab with a Rottie paint job.” Another comment from a vet read: “I’ve been a vet for 6 years and he’s not a Rottweiler; he’s definitely a cutie patootie.”

Even as someone without veterinary training, I wholeheartedly agree that Pluto is an adorable pup. One user shared a humorous personal anecdote, stating: “My Rottweiler was half Airedale terrier. He looks like a chupacabra now.” This highlights that misinterpretations regarding breeds are not uncommon. Regardless of their breeds, all dogs deserve a loving family. It’s essential to cherish the bond, no matter how different the dogs may be from what we initially expect.
Pluto is a wonderful companion who loves his mom dearly, and his owner would never trade him for anything in the world.
