Yes, but doesn't a puppy have to be purebred itself in order to get papers from a nationally recognized kennel club? So wonderful your puppy's parents have papers - good for you - your puppy is still a mutt.
Sorry if i seem a bit aggressive, crap like this annoys the hell out of me.

Papers
NEWSPAPERS, That is how much they are selling in the newspapers, I never said anything about registration papers. Go onto the Vancouver Sun Classified section and you can see for yourself how much dogs are selling for, I would like to pay only $40.00 for a little dog, but it is nearly impossible to get a toy breed for unde $300.00. Purebreed or MUTT

A lot of shelters do sell their dogs for $100US or less. Even puppies. In my opinion, and ONLY my opinion, getting a dog out of the papers is almost as bad as from a petstore - because that's another place BYBers sell puppies.
Why do i say this? Because prior to adopting Mojo I attempted to buy a lhasa apso puppy from the classifieds of Chicago. I asked the breeder if i could meet both paretns and see where they kept their dogs and the whelping area? I wasn't allowed to meet the sire, and wasn't allowed to see where the dogs had been living at ALL. This struck me as very odd so I declined to buy the puppy and stuck with searching shelters for a year to find a dog that would work with me.
Voila Mojo - wonder mutt - 35 to 40 lbs of love - already housebroken and crate trained. All for $40. What a steal!

Maltipoo
I have a maltipoo! He is the best dog in the whole world. Getting a maltipoo is a great choice I think. I spent $350 canadian on my dog and my dog 5 years ago. He is known by all as the gentle men of the neihghbor hood. Or long legged Lucky. I think that getting a maltipoo would be one of the best descioons you've ever made. But thats just my opinion
My baby boy Lucky 5 year old Maltipoo. No Maltipoos arn't pue breeds but they are still wonderful dogs. I did not read your whole post when i first posted this. You dog was not raised well. My mom once went to court and sued a lady who ran a kitten mill are cat became very sick within a couple days of getting it. Make sure you bring your puppy to the vets asap to make sure its been vaccinated and is healthy. You dog will be a great dog just maake sure to handle it lots because animals rraised on mills are often never handle. So make sure to handle him or her lots and get it socialized with other dogs as well as humans and you will have a great dog no doubt
ps. Maltipoos are also known for being one of the longest living dogs some have liven up to 18 years but thats at the very best most commen is 14-16 years. Also cross breeds are known for being much healthier then purebreeds. He has never had any health problems and is now 5 turning 6 in May

Just a side note, several people are mentioning the CKC, well there is the Canadian KC, which is ligit, but there is also, the Continental KC, created by millers and for millers, you can register mixes as "experimental crosses" On the reg, papers there is even a spot for you to list your "hybrid breed's name" In other words We can all just start making up breeds.
Just because some dogs are not purbreed, don't mean they are less of a dog then the ones that are! All our life we had mixed dogs, some we paid for some we got free. We known people who have purbreed and they had more problems with there dogs then we did with our mixed dogs. You cant put a price on a dog when you see how happy they are to see you, or how they can love you non stop.
This is my Multi-poo and I am not sorry that I paid 200 for him. Madaline is right when she said its nearly impossible to find a little dog that is a Mutt or Purebreed for cheap.

Nobody is saying that because your dog is a mutt it's somehow "stupid". Most people here love mutts, including me (I've got two of my own). But breeding them is wrong when there are so many waiting for homes in shelters!! Did you know that around 5 million dogs are euthanized in American shelters every year? 750,000 dogs and cats are gassed to death in Lousiana annually.
From what I know you got a deal on your dog. I know you will love him I love my maltipoo to death. My maltipoo I got 5 years ago and he was $350 candaian. i have seen the money considerably fo up and I know see the average cost around 450 for a mix little dog. They are much healthier then purebreeds I used to have a lab and they are also very long lived. My maltpoo is the best dog i've ever had.
Not to scare you, but that's not at all a proven fact. Mostly because those mixes are fairly new and there's probably none of them (other than accidental breeding) that is over 7 year old now.
I see the point of people who really want small dogs now though, and why some people end up buying those mixes. I agree that it's hard to find small dogs in shelters. You didn't pay too much for them, which is ok also in my book, it's the breeder that sell them for over $400 that make me scream.

I missed that one
As Tessa said, it's false. It's what breeders say. If if there is no testing on the parents, you can end up with a puppy with problems too. For example, if both parents have eye problems, your pup is likely to have eye problems. Yes, mixes benefit from having a much wider range of genes than purebreds, but if they are poorly bred they're likely to have problems too. And unfortunately I have yet to see a breeder of those mixes do any kind of testing on the parents.

Fran you are intirely intittiled to your own opinion but I know a lady personally who has a 13 year old malti poo and a 15 year old malti poo she used to have an older one also but it just recently past. Also yesterday while I was walking mine a lady with a 14 year old maltipoo asked if mine could play. About 3 years ago when I first met my dogs groomer she said she had known a maltipoo which she groomed that was over 17 years old. My dog is 5. So Im not sure your right about that one, but like I said you are intitled to your opinion. What I am 110% sure about is that I LOVE my dog. I have him now and so does this other lady with her new puppy. You guys should remember when ou brought your new puppy home and your all excited and want to tell the world how you have theh best dog ever. So just go easy on it. You may not agree with some of her/ my opinions but dont crush that feeling of having the best thing in the whole world I bet you all remember it. She understands its not purebreed. But she has the dog now and I guarentee her it will be the best dog shes ever had. So its done she has it and I know if I where her I'd be upset. It sounds like you guys are trying to guilt her into thinking she just broke a law or something.
So I'd Like To Say Congradulations On Your New Pup! I Know You Will Enjoy It And I Know You Will Also Not Regret Your Decsicoin! I love my maltipoo so much I cnat imagine my life without him.
ps. My vet has said they are healthier then purebreeds and all my dog books. And I have had a lab that had health problems. And my neighbors purebreed corgi has had problems. But known of the mixes or crossbreeds i know have ever shown problems. But again I may be wrong. So im not trying to start anythng. My dog has never shown any health problems at all. But I do also love purebreeds I love dogs doesn't matter how big or little or what breed tupe / mix or cross.

The main reason why so many purebred dogs have problems is that they are poorly bred. I think that probably 70% of purebred dogs out there come from those places, which is why so many seem to have problems.
And of course you love your dog, and I love mine too, we're not criticizing the dogs. I have a mutt too and I love him also, I just know he might develop dysplasia or something later. Because he's a mutt doesn't mean I love him less nor that he will be very healthy all his life. Our problem is just that people are breeding more dogs when so many are in shelters, and that with such a surpopulation the only good reason to breed is to work on improving a breed.

Thanks for backing me up Your Maltipoo is adorable.
I only payed $300.00 for my Purebreed Poodle 13 years ago, now they go for around $1,000. or more. My Mum payed $600. 7 years ago, they keep going up and up just like everything else. People have more money these days so they will pay the price, Most mixed breeds are over $300. I love my Maltipoo and when my Poodle passes on Im going to get another one, I think it was the best move I ever made getting Madeline, I have never owned a mixed breed before, maybe they are a fad, designer breed what ever you want to call them but as long as they are loved and looked after I dont think they will end up in the pound, the people that pay alot for there dogs there is a very very good chance they will keep them for there live time.
