I was at the flea market yesterday and walked by the 'puppy booth'. Maltipoo-$350. Pomapoo-$450. Peka-Chi....$650!!! The pek/chi mixes, there was probably 7-10 of them, NONE were long haired, but several had underbites. I think they were just plain accidental litter mutts. And then they had some "purebred" maltese pups there-only $200. Since when do mutts go for more than the purebreds???

At the dog park the other day, and I was talking to some lady with a labradoodle. I questioned why she got the dog, and she said because it's a rare, up and coming new breed. Her dog was humping everything, and she made the comment that she wasn't going to neuter him because he cost $1500. I told that at the moment, there is one in the shelter, labeled as a 'terrier mix', looks just like hers, and it's only $75.
