Still Waters Posted April 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Gullible bargain hunters at Argentina's largest bazaar are forking hundreds of dollars for what they think are gorgeous toy poodles, only to discover that their cute pooch is in fact a ferret pumped up on steroids. One retired man from Catamarca, duped by the knock-down price for a pedigree dog, became suspicious he had bought what Argentinians call a 'Brazilian rat' and when he returned home took the 'dogs' to a vet for their vaccinations. http://www.dailymail...-like-dogs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarMountainKid Posted April 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2013 A few years ago I read the story that in China people were selling baby lambs as poodles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaikou Posted April 7, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I'm guessing he hasn't seen a poodle before. I mean, I'm not a dog expert. However that is definitely not a poodle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oniomancer Posted April 8, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 8, 2013 That's not even a "typically full-grown ferret" in the bottom picture, though it is the same size. That's a rare Black footed ferret from North America. You'd think with the entire internet at their disposal, they could've come up with one stock picture of a normal domestic European Ferret 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted April 8, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2013 They're pumping little ferrets with steroids . How long do they expect to stay in business, people are gonna wise up pretty quick and it's just horrible that they would do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffSplitkins Posted April 8, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I have owned ferrets in the past. I had a silver-mitt and a black-eyed white. They were awesome pets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted April 8, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'd rather have a ferret any day! Poor baby ferrets though.... steroids at birth? That is just plain nasty My nephew's gf has a toy poodle. He is actually adorable but so energetic it can drive you nuts. Apparently tea cup poodles are themselves treated no better than the steroid attacked ferrets. A teacup poodles range of health problems from being bred so small give them an ave lifespan of 3-5 years. Personally, I'd get a poodle but never a minature, I would not encourage the type of breeding that deformed a dog to the point of a shortened life span, it's disgusting all round.

minera Posted April 12, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I owned two poodles. Both were from the same litter, but one was a runt. I wanted to take all of them including the mom as I did not like the man who had them. The pups were scared of him. The bigger one lived to be sixteen and died of heart failure. The runt lived to be 18 and I finally had to put her down as she had a stroke. They were part of the family and my youngest was only two when we got them. He would not let go of the little runt so had no choice but keep both. He was devastated when she died. I guess they lived a long life as they were loved. I would definitely know the difference between a ferret and a dog. How stupid can they be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava_Lady Posted April 12, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Poor ferrets... Those people should get pumped full of steroids, get their hair fluffed into a ball and paraded trough the streets with a sign that says, "I abused ferrets. I an a dumb a ss" or let the ferrets chew on their toes... which ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feebs Posted April 12, 2013 #19 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) to be fair half these silly little dogs look like rodents so i can understand the trouble in differentiating...lol so not fair to the ferrets though as pumping them full of steroids must of hurt them x Edited April 12, 2013 by Feebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
