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.
