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.

This happens all the time i once seen a add for a english bulldog,it said (English bulldog,1500.00,No papers.so people do pay the extra im sure it makes no sence,When i got Bandit,he was 350.00 as soon as i said i might breed him with Lacy,his price went up too 650.00,i did not care i wanted him,i never did breed them because of his aggressivness,he was not a very well minded dog and i did not want to see his pups turn out to be like him,I loved him dont get me wrong but he has problems not with us but strangers,Look at your local paper everyday,you will be amazed what mutts are going for.
