In Japan there have been some sheepishly deceptive deals being done in the name of poodles. Apparently companies on the internet have been selling the Japanese consumer with more money than sense poodle puppies - these poodle puppies have arrived in the best of health complete with poodle haircuts, their new owners overjoyed. But all is not as it seems as one owner of a new poodle pup recently discovered when she took it to the vet to find out why it wasn't eating dog food. The vet explained kindly to the puzzled woman that sheep are vegetarians - she was even more confused but it turned out that her poodle pup was a lamb. Over 2000, sheep-poodles have been sold in japan - one to a Japanese film star who proudly showed a talk show audience a photo of her much loved pet poodle - she was shocked when the audience correctly identified the animal as a sheep. Another took her puppy to the dog stylist for a toenail trim to be told 'you're poodle has hooves'. I am left wondering how can someone not recognise a sheep and think it a dog - surely the baaa baaaa gives the game away, along with the large bunny-like droppings and the consumption of all things plant like. Apparently the Japanese are not familliar with what a sheep looks like and this is why the scam has been able to succeed - they were being sold for between £600 and £700, half the price of what a poodle pup would cost in Japan an absolute Baaaaaaargain. The owners of the sheep are now donating them to Zoo's and farms in Japan.

That's a hoot LOL...and quite extraordinary when you think about it...maybe better not to too deeply :-)
The punters should really have twigged when their 'poodle' came with a free jar of mint sauce.
