when i was on holiday i saw a newspaper article about designer dogs, which they were talking about oy poodle crosses as beign the coolest dog right now, and a day later guess what i saw in the pet shop? a toy poodle cross puppy no more than my kttens!! seriously cute an dpriced at $1250, which is expensive here. the chihuahuas at the pet shop were $950. thats quite a lot, adn generally in new zealand people get non-pedigree cats, i dont know about doggies, though. genrally quite cheap though.
