Does polyurethane leather breathe?
PU Leather does not breath as the layer of synthetic polyurethane does not allow moisture to move through it. The reason leather can stay in good condition through wear and wetness is it can rid itself of moisture. The polyurethane layer cover also does not age or wear.

Are Pu leather good?
PU leather, aka Bycast Leather, is Reconstituted Leather (small leather scraps) or Bonded Leather that is layered with thick Polyurethane to give it a sheen like real leather. The image of such a process that comes to my mind is like gluing scraps of wood together and pack it really tight to look & feel like real wood. Since it is synthetic material, it doesn't last as long as real leather. However, for a handbag, I personally think it is ok to use. For shoes, I wouldn't recommend it though, as shoes tend to wear out faster and Polyurethane is not a breathable material like leather. As for sheep skin....well, within the accessories industry (bags, belts, shoes, planners, etc), they classify any animal skin (cow, calf, lamb, sheep, even pig) as "leather."

Why leather is better than polyurathane leather?
Full grain leather is the highest quality leather that you can get and is made from a single piece of cowhide that has not been sanded or split. However polyurethane leather, also called "bicast" leather is made from low grade leather split leather, up to 4 pieces of low grade leather may be split from one single cow hide. It is often much thinner and less durable than real leather because it is has been split and then coated with polyurethane(plastic) on top and often stamped with a leather-like grain. True leather will last a lot longer than bicast leather. Real leather will become softer and develope a patina over time whereas the polyurethane coating on bicast leather may split or peel after just a few years.
