Japanese "poodles" actually sheep
I don't know what is stupider: paying $1600 for a poodle (and considering it a bargain) or not knowing that your $1600 poodle is actually a sheep. You'd think the hooves would be a giveaway. But urban Japanese are pretty distant from the land, and sheep are rare in Japan.
They could always eat their investment...in either case, even if they aren't Korean.

And I thought Scotsmen and sheep were a funny combination.

Better a substitute child than a substitute wife, I think.

I never heard of this before. Though I wouldn't be surprised. After seeing a lot of people here in Japan with their pets, I wouldn't even be surprised if sheep became the next big thing.
