Let's put our heads together here, Tailgaters! What else could we sell to Japan and swindle 'em with?

That is excellent. Who ever did that has a set of brass ones. :laugh:

I would have thought a sheep would be more expensive than a poodle.

For $1,600 I could have sold these people real poodles.

Hey this poodle tastes like lamb.

Japanese police believe there could be 2000 people affected by the scam, which operated in Sapporo and capitalised on the fact that sheep are rare in Japan, so many do not know what they look like.

Apparently not many people know what poodles look like either.

The scam was uncovered when Japanese moviestar Maiko Kawamaki went on a talk-show and wondered why her new pet would not bark or eat dog food.

One couple said they became suspicious when they took their "dog" to have its claws trimmed and were told it had hooves.
