speaking of puppy mills

I made a stop at the flea market Friday for some lamb bones and clear in the back was this tent full of crates. SO, I walked back to check it out. I was looking at all the cute little puppies back there when I saw the tags on the crates that said different names like Peagle and stuff. All of the dogs in this tent were crossbred - not that I have anything against mutts, sometimes they are the best dogs (I have had some), but this guy was charging $300 - $500 for them.
I am no dog genius here, but I don't know about paying that much money for a dog that isn't papered. Does this thing go on everywhere? And what happens to the poor mutts that nobody buys, do they end up in shelters?

I was at the vet a few months ago and asked a young lady what kind of dof she had. She was very proud to say "He is a puggle". A puggle as I found out is a pug/beagle. Some other people came and saw him and said "Awww look theres a puggle". I was curious when I got home and looked online. There was 1 site imparticular that had everything you could imagine. All mixes of course but with fancy names. Even a "MINI BOXER" imagine that. There were between 5 and 8hundred dollars. That is a horrible shame! These people obviously care only about $.

Would you be talking about this site maybe? http://www.puppyparadise.com/breed_guide_puppies.html It makes me angry. I mean look at the note on the top "*Note this is not a complete breed guide for all 120 reconized AKC breeds. Rather a listing of all breeds Puppy Paradise have available or can special order."

In Kendra's puppy class there was a cute, but mutt looking dog, I found out later it was a $2000 Labradoodle!
