Ewe Have Got to Be Kidding! The 'puppy' Born to a SHEEP
By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 7:29 PM on 25th March 2011 Vets say it’s impossible - but to Chinese farmer Liu Naiying his birth is a miracle. For Mr Liu insists one of his sheep has given birth to a dog The 'puppy' has wool like a lamb but its mouth, nose, eyes, paws and tail look more like a dog's. 'Miracle': The sheep/dog and the ewe that allegedly gave birth to him in Shaanxi Province, China His 'sheep dog' even plays like a hound. The birth has prompted thousands to flock to his farm in Shaanxi Province to see for themselves. Mr Liu told how he found the unusual baby animal shortly after it was born in one of his fields. ‘I was herding the sheep, and saw a sheep licking her newborn lamb on the grassland. The lamb was still wet,’ he said. ‘When I went up close to check on the lamb I was shocked because it looked so weird, like a cross between a sheep and a dog. Strange: The 'puppy' has wool like a lamb but it's mouth, nose, eyes, paws and tail look more like a dog's ‘I was a bit frightened, as I've been raising sheep for 20 years and had never seen such a creature.’ Yue Guozhang, a researcher at Xi'an City Animal Husbandry Technology Centre, said sheep and dogs were different species. ‘It's not possible that a sheep could become pregnant with a puppy,’ he said. ‘It's likely that this is just an abnormal lamb.’ I know it is not possible but it's cute |

It's a dog...not a deformed sheep.....the feet are not those of a sheep nor is the tail...and it's not wool it's curly fur... I want to see a pic of it's teeth. |

Well sheep have hooves and if it has paws then its gotta be part dog. That things awesome, I want one. You can shave it down each winter and make a coat, at the same time it can guard you house. What a great multipurpose animal. |
