NewBiz Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I've just seen an ad in my local shop for 7 labradoodle pups for sale. Anybody want to take a guess at the total asking price, for these 7 crossbreeds? Go on, have a guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Oh I'm sure they'll be about 800 quid each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBiz Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Oh I'm sure they'll be about 800 quid each These were a bargain then. A mere £550 for apricot coloured, and £500 for the black. Cheap as chips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Lol bargain then! I thought they'd be more. Makes me realise how very cheap my purebred German Shepherds were. And my purebred Springer Spaniel. And even my purebred Saint Bernard in comparison lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daid Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 When did crossbreeds start fetching the same sort of money as pedigrees. What is wrong with people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I haven't a clue! Saw an advert yesterday for "springbatt" puppies! A cross between a springer spaniel and a Bassett hound????!!!! Why even do that? Lovely price of 500 quid. It's a mongrel!!!! Gggrrrr it really gets my goat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixie824 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm glad it's not just me They may be lovely dogs, but they're crossbreeds. Don't get me wrong, from past experience I'd have a cross over a pure breed any day but I wouldn't pay that! The only pure bred dog I had was a working stock collie and we paid £40 for him. He was mental... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwkittie Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I don't get why you'd pay that kind of money for any dog (cross or otherwise) unless you specifically need one for showing/working etc... people rehome slightly older pups on the free ads for a few quid when they get sick of them or they turn out to be no use for their intended purpose (like ours, wonky legs at four months ish), or there's the pounds and shelters, much less than £500 or even more and will do just as good a job of being a pet. But hey ho each to their own, if people want to spend stupid money on dogs that's up to them, so long as they don't come from a puppy farm or the like...
