Click the jump to see what Argentinians are selling to these gullible customers instead of toy poodles!
In Argentina’s largest bazaar many customers are snatching up toy poodles that they think are at a bargain price, only to discover that these poodles are not even dogs! Toy poodles cost about $1,000 in the U.S., so finding them in Argentina for only $150 seemed like a dream. One man from Catamarca suspected something about the two new toy poodles he brought and after a visit to the vet, he discovered that these poodles were actually what Argentinians call a “Brazilian rat”! What’s a Brazilian rat? It’s a ferret that has been given steroids at birth to increase its size and groomed to resemble a toy poodle. This man was not the only one who had been fooled when a woman recently claimed she brought a Chihuahua only to discover that it was a ferret too. Both the man and the woman have no filed complaints…yet! Check the Gallery for pics of these brazilian rats.
