Sheep sold as poodles to Japanese

[Trithemius]

How in the world do you mistake a sheep for a poodle!?!?!?

Thousands of Japanese have been swindled in a scam in which they were sold Australian and British sheep and told they were poodles, The Sun newspaper reported today.

Flocks of sheep were imported to Japan and then sold by a company called Poodles as Pets, marketed as fashionable accessories, available at $1,600 each.
