Stole this from one of Dee S. Nutts profiles.
Several Australian companies have been selling poodles to people in japan, where the poodle is little known and fairly rare. The price is rock bottom, about half of competitors prices, which might seem like a good deal till you hear how they pull it off. No, they don't cut the dogs in half or anything like that. There are, in fact, no dogs at all. They're selling sheep. Unbeknownst to the Japanese buyers, who have little ideal what a poodle should look like, lambs are being taunted up a bit and hoisted as pedigree canines.
Hilarious.
A well known actor brought a picture of her "dog" on a talk show complaining that the dog never barked and would not eat dog food only to be informed that it was, in fact, a sheep. I wish I could see that conversation.
"My poor dog, he's so quiet. And he never eats. I think he's depressed."
"Well, that's a sheep. So maybe your sheep is depressed."
What happens when these "poodles" grow up? Aren't sheep bigger than most dogs? They're certainly heavier. And how the hell do you overlook hooves? Honestly hooves!
