At the same time, some people feel it would be wrong of them TO buy a mixed breed dog when there are literally hundreds of thousands of them dying in shelters all over the country.. It's not about "Oooh a mixed dog isn't WORTH $2000," It's about "I don't want to support byb's breeding mixed breed dogs when I could save a life at the shelter and get THE EXACT SAME BREED OF DOG" Want a maltipoo? Instead of paying $2000 for one and supporting byb's, go down to your local shelter and buy the maltese/poodle mix for $100.
