    Nope...as much as i love my dog (golden retriever) I can think of much better and more useful things to spend that sort of money on! We got our dog fr $300 from a breeder, normally around $500/$600 but he was a 'discount puppy' because he was about 4/5 months old and the breeders still hadn't sold him.

    If you do end up getting a labradoodle, make sure you check out both parents very carefully...I've known a few of them and they were absolute nutters!
    Maybe ask around at animal shelters/dog rescues close to you, they may get them in the shelter occasionally and you could adopt one from there. it is suprising how many purebreeds/designer dogs end up in dog pounds.

    Are they really that stupid??? I was thinking that those 2 breeds, being notoriously smart (although labs are hard to train) would be an alright mix. Not that I'm an expert on that stuff.

    But no, I wouldn't spend that much - especially when there are so many wonderful pups being put down every year.

    I'm another no. We paid $200 for a staffy & would probably pay for another one one day, but no way would I pay that much.
    We have 2 bull mastiff's we got for nothing & they are beautiful & perfect for us
