What do you pay for a 4 year old maltese-poodle dog? I want to make sure I am not getting ripped off.?

Question

Going to be purchases one very soon.

Answer 1

sweetnpink9, I wish I had a a maltese.

Answer 2

whatever they sell them for! Heck why not go to a shelter and adopt one! Who cares what the cost is! You'd be savin its life!

Answer 3

If it's from a Shelter, up to $200 for the adoption fee (Which goes to the costs of running the shelter).  

If it's from a "person", no more than $50.  Don't let them rip you off by telling you that a "Maltipoo" is a "Special" Breed, it's nothing but a Designer Mutt.

Answer 4

if you pay money for it, you are getting ripped off.  Purebreds when they go beyond 6 months the price is dropped astronomically.  So a 4 year old mixed dog, well I would have to say maybe $25.  But I would take him for free or get a better dog from the shelter.  

Schnoodle he was not rude, he was truthful.  It is a mutt, mutts are not worth the same as purebreds b/c purebreds (bred from responsible breeders only other purebreds from byb's are not as much as well) you merely compensate the breeder, they paid for EVERYTHING for the first 8-12 weeks of the dogs life.  THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT MUTTS ARE WORSE THAN PUREBREDS.  I wouldn't pay a few hundred or thousand for a poorly bred purebred either.  Stop thinking that we are attacking mutts, this is how things work. my god.

Answer 5

Whatever the shelter charges as an adoption fee.

Answer 6

I would pay $100 if the dog was spayed/neutered and UTD with vaccines.

Answer 7

probably designer dog breeders would charge in the $400 range

Answer 8

this is a comment on the other answers. ill prob be getting low rating for this but oh well.

WHO CARES IF ITS A MUTT!!! its still a dog and a dog is a dog.  it would probably be in the four-hundred to seven hundred. there is a wide variety of price ranges.  

i dont want to be mean, but that was not cool fatboy.  just because its a mutt doesnt mean it has to be really really cheap. i have a mutt, and hes one of the best things thats ever happened to me and i love him to death.  

Answer 9

First off, it is a mutt. second it is 4 years old. I would pay nothing. As a matter of fact I want a brand new bag of dog food and some new toys when I go take it off the other persons hands.
