Chihuahua and Dutch Shepherd Have Puppies, Viewers Not Prepared for Outcome
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a viral TikTok video, a pup named Coco from the United Kingdom has left users on social media stunned, all thanks to her one-of-a-kind look. The clip, which was shared in June under the username @pandcocotheweedogs, shows Coco, a mix between a Chihuahua and a Dutch shepherd, hanging out at the park with her owner, performing all sorts of tricks and responding to commands. The small-sized puppy resembles a tiny version of the Dutch shepherd in the body of a Chihuahua, with the discipline of a shepherd dog, and the loud, high-pitched bark of a Chihuahua. "Cocos transition from middle to heel is starting to look soooo good," the poster writes in the caption. Mixed-breed dogs not only have unique looks and personalities that make them one of a kind, but also they are often much healthier than purebreds. The experts at Pet MD say that dogs who are a mix of two or more breeds are less likely to develop specific hereditary diseases because they are bred by parents with different genes, so they may have a longer life span, too. The most-popular crossbreeds in America include the Cockapoo, a mix between cocker spaniel and poodle; the Siberian retriever, a mix between Siberian husky and Labrador retriever; and the Chug, a mix between Chihuahua and pug. Also loved by the American public are the beagleman, a beagle mixed with a doberman pinscher; the shepherd chow, a chowchow that has been bred with a German shepherd; and the puggle, which is a beagle/pug mix.

One user, Abigaile McNamar, commented: "Lol [laugh out loud] that to me would be more terrifying to be chased after than a normal Dutch shepherd." Charmaine added: "I find it funny to see this mix, I have a mix Chihuahua x Belgian malinois, the nest was an accident but I love the little dog they are just tiny shepherds."

Island wedding a picture-perfect reality
Katie and Jon met at 16 and tied the knot 25 years later. They flew 50 of their closest family and friends to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and put on a weekend-long wedding extravaganza. The local community came together for the very special occasion. Local celebrant Amy Rossbach conducted the ceremony, a local teacher played the aisle music, and Cocos Picnics make charcuterie cups. Locals also helped put the marquees up and were behind the bar. The icing on the Cocos cake? Bride Katie flew saxophonist Laura Wilkins up to surprise her husband with his dream tunes in the evening. The big day took place on March 15, 2025, at bride Katie's birthplace — the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Katie's gorgeous dress was a Stella York design from Tuscany Bridal, and Jon wore linen trousers from Robertson Sand and a linen shirt from MJ Bale. The newlyweds spent three weeks on Cocos following the wedding, and plan on a child-free trip to Bali in 2026.
