But what's wrong with a poodle? Or a labrador? Or any old mutt from the pound if you want a crossbreed? All dogs are unique and wonderful, but why pay through the nose for one that hasn't been carefully bred from health-tested lines?

I am not that surprised to be honest, quite a lot of X breeds are commanding more money than pure breeds..I tend to look at Chihuahua adverts and am always amazed at the prices for a Chi X breeds
You could cross a chi with anything and it would seem that people will buy it!!!!! I Have to agree that its mad though!Rachel

I havent a clue if this is the going rate,but surely the puppys are mongrels as the mother is a cross to start with??? Im not critising mongrels or crosses in any way,but like the Labradoodle-its not pure blood.
I must add though that i would never pay that sort of money for a dog no matter what its breed was-too many unwanted dogs already in rescue needing a good home.
I seen Labradoodles advertised for the first time in one of our local papers tonight, although they are not being advertised anywhere near the cost of £900.

These owners get very annoyed when you call their dogs mongrels and xbreeds (like my OH i'm a bit more tact full than him) they come back at you with "they are a designer dog"
