It's a fox at its base, it has fluffy fur because it's designed to be a mascot to represent its generation, and it needs to be visually appealing, which a regular fennec fox is unordinary on its own, so artistic license is taken to make it a "furry" fennec fox.
Also you're wrong about the bushy tail, and the "bushy ear" is just larger ears with fur, a la a furrier version of

I will admit that cartoon proportions come into play, but those come in regard to head shape (which is closer to a fennec fox's than a chihuahua's), legs, and body, i.e. not the main defining features of what makes a fennec fox look distinct from a chihuahua.
