Okay we are looking for a nice puppy for little Mikey to grow up with. So I look of course at the humane societies (not much in the way of puppies) and then I look in the local paper. What in the heck is going on??? Tons of puppies that are some purebred or other crossed with some other purebred or other and they want hundreds of dollars for them!

Okay maybe I'm a redneck but if it isn't a AKA recognized breed...it's a mutt! Lord but what is the world coming to when folks will pay hundreds of dollars because somebody's purebred got knocked up by the dog down the road who just happens to be another purebred of some sort or other.

Well off on my continuing search for a nice puppy for the family that won't cost me $400.00!

Edit: I do know there are purebred dogs that are not yet recognized by the AKC but that's a whole different situation.
