Is £650 about right for a poorador / pug cross?

Question

Beautiful dog, they're ready for picking up now. The breeder is very reputable with rosettes and everything. Not kennel club registered yet, the breeder said I had to do that myself so should I ask for some discount?

Answer 1

THE ONLY WAY A DOG IS NOT A MONGREL IS IF ITS PARENTS ARE THE **SAME** BREED.

So, yes it is a mutt ..

no matter how 'cute' it may be.

And you can't register it with the kennel club ... as it is not PEDIGREEEE its a MUTTTTTTTTTT.

So get off your high horse. Its worth no more then any other mutt, just because its parents aer pedigree.

he answer to your quesion, is NO, its not 'about right' so don't get al s****. to the people asnwering your question and helping you.

If you dont want to hear the truth, don't ask.

Answer 2

HAHAHAHA, LMFAO

Are you kidding?  If you want to pay that much for a MUTT, go for it.  Waste your money.  It's a Labrador/Poodle/Pug.  It's a mixed breed.  A lot of purebred dogs don't even cost that much.  She is not a real breeder, she is what people call a BYB (backyard breeder).  

Sorry, but mix breeds can not be registered.

How about you check out the UKC, and see if you find this "breed" in there?  Heck, check the AKC and the CKC too!  Guess what?  Still not there!

Answer 3

No absolutely not. Why would you pay money for a dog that has no pedigree, breed standard, health testing or history of health issues, temperament testing, etc. The 'designer dogs' c**p is a joke. Just a bunch of greedy jerks and puppy mills who like to make money off the ignorant and hasty buyers. You can do much better. There is no club that recognizes these dogs and any that do are made up, yes thats right these folks will make them up. Regardless of breed, never buy a pup from someone who dosn't already have them  on limited registered! Thats a big fat reg flag. Do your research, buy a PUREBRED dog from a REPUTABLE breeder who health tests and proves their dogs to the standard conformationally and in temperament. The only mixed breed worth paying any amount for is the ones who need homes in shelters.

How can you have a pedigree if there is no registration??? Did they get any titles for the pretty ribbons and certificates they won? What did they win them for? Under what kennel clubs were the competitions hosted?

Answer 4

Your obviously trolling here.

Answer 5

No way to much.I wouldn't give more than $50.

Answer 6

WHAT? You think a MUTT is a PEDIGREE DOG? LMAO.

You sound like an idiot. And I hate sharing this country with idiots.

A Mutt/Mongrel/Cross breed/Mixed breed should cost NO MORE than £100. You can find TONS, and I mean TONS, of Mongrels in  Dog Rescues.

The breeder is NOT reputable as NO REPUTABLE RESPONSIBLE BREEDER would breed MUTTS.

This breeder is breeding for money, not for quality.

If you pay £650 for a Mongrel you are seriously getting majorly ripped off. save your money,a nd if you want a 'Pedigree' than find a breeder that breeds actual BREEDS OF DOG, and not MONGRELS.

Did I get through to you? Did I, did I? I hope I did.

ADD:

Erm, hello? Because Mongrel means MIXED BREED DOG. It doesn't matter if both of the parents are Pedigree or not, they are different breeds and mixing them will create MIXED BREED PUPPIES, aka MONGRELS.

Think things through, alright? Get smarter, then we'll talk.

Answer 7

The dog is not a pedigree dog if he is not pure bred. Its just the way it is... love it or hate it, a mixed breed dog is just that....a mixed breed.

The TC who called it a mongrel was correct. Its not a bad word, it just is what it is.

If you prefer a PEDIGREE, then get a pure bred pedigreed dog. If you think that this mutt is worth that much money, then go on ahead and buy it. But YOU ASKED!!!! And now we are telling you that we think it is too much money to spend on a glorified mutt.

For the record, all dogs should be registered before going to new homes. That is something the breeder takes care of. You can't register a mix bred dog except in bunk registries. Thems the breaks!!!

EDIT:::

My "designer dog" came from two AKC registered parents. I paid a high price tag for my "designer dog" only to find out he has bad hips at 6 months old. Lesson learned? Don't BUY a mutt from disreputable breeders. If I want a mutt, I will adopt one from a shelter, or I will pay for a well bred dog from a reputable breeder. Don't fall for the scam.

Answer 8

Why don't you consider getting one from a rescue instead?

Answer 9

Sorry dude it is a mutt and you are being ripped off.

Any cross is a mutt.

Answer 10

that is such a rip off for a mutt. i wouldnt pay anymore that £300 for one. you should expect to pay that for a good purebred dog, not a mutt.

it doesnt matter if the parents are purebred pedigree dogs. breeding 2 different dogs, like say a collie and a dalmation, would still make the puppies mutts. and these people are backyard breeders. a professional breeder, will usually breed from only one breed of dog, not 2 different breeds

labrador+labrador=purebred puppies

german shepherd+collie=mutts (puppies)

just an example

Answer 11

I think you are just trying to wind people up, you know perfectly well that 2 different breeds of dog crossed with each other would make a mongrel/mutt, no breeder gets rosettes for mutts unless it's in obedience trials, I'm assuming that a Pooridor is a Labrador Poodle cross? that's a mongrel on it's own and a Pug cross speaks for itself, so you have lost before you start really as the parents aren't even pedigree.  

Answer 12

..Is this a wind up?...B loody h**l!

Answer 13

Your being ripped off.

Even if the parents are pedigree dogs with papers, the pups aren't because they are a mix of both dogs, so they are mutts.

Even if they are beautiful dogs, they are still mutts and the kennel club will not register them.

They are not pedigree dogs and will never be classified as such.

I have a pedigree Lab, but if she bred with a pedigree Pug, it wouldn't make the pups pedigrees. They would only be pedigrees and acknowledged ny the kennel club if they were both the same breed of dog with a kennel club certificate.

As you said in the first line of your question, poorador/pug cross, they are crossed.

If you'd prefer a pedigree pup then get one that has a kennel club certificate, if the breeder were a reputable one and the pups were pedigree pups, then the papers would be available for the new owners.

This is how BYB's make their money, by passing off mutts as designer breed dogs, until people realise that they are not buying a pedigree but buying a mutt, then they will continue.

There's nothing wrong with mutts, it's just wrong for the BYB's to charge stupid amounts by calling them designer breeds.

What breed are both the parents?

A cross is not a pure breed dog, so therefore it is a mutt, a pedigree pure breed dog is a pup from two dogs of the same breed.

You can't have a pup from two different breeds of dogs and call it a pedigree!

That's not how it works.

Answer 14

You're not getting it!

The only way for a dog to be purebred is if the parents are the SAME breed.  You cannot take two champions of two different breeds and get a purebred dog.  That's just not how it works.  

You cannot get these dogs registered with any REPUTABLE registry.  Maybe with some made up phony-bologna registry, but not a REAL one.

When you mix two breeds, no matter how great the parents are - you get a mix.  Another word for a mix is a mutt.  Another name for a mutt is a mongrel dog.  The word you choose is just a case of semantics.  I prefer mix, but the fact is it is not a dog that can be shown in conformation, and it is not a dog that can get purebred papers because it is NOT purebred.

It is the believe of many, including myself, that no reputable breeder should ever cross two breeds.  The reason I hold this belief is because there are thousands of mixed breed dogs in shelters...we don't need any more mixed breed dogs.

Also, I am very skeptical of the certificates that breeders dogs have gotten.  I could go get a "pretty dog" rosette at the local county fair, but it doesn't mean anything.  Show TITLES are what matter.  Ribbons mean nothing.

Answer 15

thats like 1300 AMERICAN DOLLARS.

No mix , or mutt should be that much any mixx should be less than 400 i'd say. unless they are both champion bloodlines.

they're ripping off your money, sorry pal.

you cant register a mixxed breed.

Doesnt matter if they're both pedigree.

its still a ripp.

Well im pretty sure the dog you're getting is only worth 50 dollars .

You must have nothing in your right mind, getting the dog for show, WHATEVER floats your boat. pay the money.

If you're angered by what people of yahoo think, then why ask such a stupid question?!

all you want is a "beautiful dog"

go ahead, pay the money.

you're only getting a mutt.

Answer 16

there is no such thing as a "poorador' i think that must be designer

DON'T GET IT!

ADD:

You can only know its Pedigree if the parents are on premises and the breeder HAS the papers
