makes me wonder if anyone would've eaten at Taco Bell if they knew that the mascot was actually a large rodent and not a dog @_@

This topic would be a great if it wasn't several years too late. Plus, I think every good american knows a chihuahua is not a dog.

Hooray for fake news, eh? A bit more cleverly crafted than The Onion...their story sounds almost half-believable until they claim that Yorkshire Terriers are bred from pigeons

Actually some breeds of dogs cannot be thought of as the same species no matter how you think about it. To be in the same species, a male and a female must be able to reproduce and have fertile offspring. It is impossible for, say, a Chiuaua and a German Sheppard, to reproduce successfully, therefore they cannot be in the same species.

so...how did the pigeon reproduce with a dog exactly?

I'd think of anything from that site as false. Look at some of the other 'headlines.'

I was under the impression with artificial insemination such an unholy union would be possible.

The site is like a lie but trying to seem true...

Perhaps a female German Sheppard could bring to full term a baby chihuahua, but there is no possible way for a female chihuahua to give birth to a monsterous part German Sheppard and live through it.

but thats just a matter of size difference, not really a basis for calling them a differnt species. what about small human females who are told they shouldnt have kids because of thier size? does that mean that they arent a member of our species? i think not.

It has nothing to do with the size of the animal. It's all about genetics.

Only one way to find out

Never know maybe you could make a new breed of mini german sheppards.

...Did NOBODY read the disclaimer saying the site was a joke?

It's a parody newspaper, like The Onion except a little less blatant.

i hate Chihuahuas witha firey passion that consumes my soul.

i've gone out of my way many times to hit them if i see them, it doesn't matter if their owners are around or now i bloody hate them. they are not dogs!

a dog is meant to protect the house, protect the family, and clean up table scraps

a Chihuahua does none of this! they require entirely too much attention and should be wiped off the face of the ear!

and don't try to counter with cats being just as worthless, cats do waht they are suppose to do, clean up pests and vermine that plague the house. cats pull their weight

when the fuck has a Chihuahua pulled someone from a burning build?!

Yea I cant really say I like Chihuahua's. I remember one chased me and I almost got hit by a truck(nieghboors). Next week it chased me again I kicked the shit out of it. That taught there ass.

Great Danes are the only dogs worthy of protecting his master. German Shepards smell & are ugly just as much as Pitbulls are. Great Danes are just awesome

To god damn tall

. I would rather have one of the three...

Golden Retriever (friendly)
Pitbull (illegal pure breed, cute pup)
Rottweiler (cute pup)
