its very common practice to breed designer dogs which are basicly mutts for around £500 it is rare to find a mix for anything less.
The RSPCA charges £300 for a rehome.

I remember reading a post from some members that they had been to an RSPCA centre that charged £300 for pedigree dogs

The puppies referred to in the OP are not crossbreeds, nor are they designer dogs. They are mongrels with two crossbreed parents. Great Dane x Boxer and Labrador x Poodle.

A designer dog is a cross breed
A cross breed is a designer dog same thing as a mutt
as I said £200 is actually a reasonable price your lucky to find any puppy for that price these days.
