Nice sporran , but it kind of weirds me out a little bit . It looks like " Lamb Chop " an old Sherry Lewis puppet .  (that reference is for any old timers that might remember )

I thought 'Lamb Chop' as soon as I saw it.
Of course, there is no reason why any animal (certainly mammals) should not be used to make full mask sporrans, but so far people have shied away from using the family pet and the like.
I am wondering about the little black 'horns'.

I think it's absolutely dreadful, just glad it's not a real dead one.

As another sufferer of OTD Syndrome, I also immediately thought of Lamb Chop. Badger, muskrat, fox, wolf, goat . . .wonderful. Fuzzy sock puppet? Count me out.

That's very cool and all, but note how different the overall shape is when compared to the original image; and the original didn't have horns!
BTW the image Steve posted is a crude modern re-do of the lovely original, a copy of which I have in front of me now: a watercolour of a Black Watch soldier (possibly a Sergeant) painted by Edward Dayes in 1790. The sporran has a sheep head on it with ears pointing out horizonally, and the body of the sporran tapers down to a V shape.
In any case, in my opinion, that sheep sporran is a notch or two down the awesomeness scale from the vintage sporran I wear
