Dogs are full of surprises. Some of them suddenly decide to change their barking, some like to sleep in very strange positions, and others become obsessed with certain toys. However, not many dogs decide to outgrow them.
And that’s exactly what a pretty French girl decided to do because she didn’t trust her parents so much that she had to take a DNA test to find out what was going on.

When Arizona pet owners decided to adopt an adorable French Bulldog, they thought they would have a small dog when they grow up, as this breed typically weighs between 16 and 28 pounds.
But that wasn’t what their dog Apollo had planned. black dog with protruding teeth
As time went on, this cute puppy grew bigger and stronger…and he…never stopped growing.
By the time he was 7 months old, he weighed 75 kilograms! To say he was a big boy would be an understatement. His parents were shocked and decided to take to social media, especially TikTok, to show everyone how big their dog was.

Of course, the proud Arizona dog parents embraced their dog’s uniqueness, but they still wanted to figure out what caused this unexpected growth.
The DNA Test
As they were doing the DNA test, the owners weren’t sure what to expect, but when the results were in, everything made sense.
According to the test, Apollo is 37 percent English Bulldog and 53 percent French Bulldog.
The test also showed that he was four percent American Pit Terrier, two percent Boston Terrier, and four percent American Staffordshire Terrier. Talk about a whole lot of everything!
Of course, anybody who came across this sweet pup was absolutely blown away. All of their videos are filled with sweet comments stating just how adorable this pup truly is.
One commentator was just as shocked as the parents were, stating:
“That is a huge French Bulldog! I’ve never seen one quite that large.”
But, another just stated the obvious:
“The cutest thing ever!”
One even said that his size was actually better for his overall health:
“I think this mix was a good one. His airways look good and he still has the aesthetic of a French bulldog… He is also a 100% good boy but those tests always leave that off.”
Final Word
Despite the big and unexpected surprise his parents got, Apollo is still a very important part of the family and they wouldn’t change him for anything.
After all – the bigger he is, the more love there is to give!
