The red toy poodle has become one of the most beloved pets for many people, largely because its appearance resembles that of a teddy bear. Coupled with its small size, gentle temperament, and easily styled fur, it has steadily grown in popularity among dog lovers. At first glance, its fluffy coat even reminds some of fried chicken, which is another quirky reason why many adore the red toy poodle.
In a Japanese household, there are two toy red poodles: the older sister named Purin and the younger brother named Taruto. The sibling pair shares a very close bond. However, keen-eyed netizens quickly noticed something unusual—could Purin really be a red toy poodle? Many exclaimed that Purin looked more like a "dog-faced alpaca" rather than a poodle!
In truth, Purin is indeed a genuine toy red poodle. Originally, her fur was so fluffy that a pet groomer had a creative idea: to style Purin's fur to resemble an alpaca. The resemblance was so striking that Twitter users often mistake her for a new breed called the "dog-faced alpaca", even thinking the household keeps both a dog and an alpaca.
Due to the nature of her fur growth, no matter how much grooming is done, Purin's appearance tends to lean more towards an alpaca than a typical poodle. Were it not for her inherently cute dog face, many would surely mistake her for an alpaca. When standing next to other dog breeds, Purin looks even less like a dog, reinforcing the amusing misconception that she might be a new alpaca breed.
Regardless of whether Purin is seen as an alpaca or a poodle, her owner's love for her and her brother Taruto is equal and abundant. Their owner frequently shares photos and videos on Twitter showing the two siblings out on adventures and posing adorably. The unique "one poodle, one alpaca" duo has charmed many netizens, often garnering tens of thousands of likes and warm reactions.
