Well, that's part of the art of the scam: you put a good-sized price tag on something you couldn't ordinarily give away, and a certain kind of person will think it must be worth the money. See for instance the contemporary art world :-)
When it comes to dogs, the only difference between mutts and hybrids or "designer breeds" is that someone had the chutzpah to put a sizeable price tag on the box, instead of "free to good home". Of course mutts are perfectly good dogs, usually as good or better than the purebreds, which is why your analogy is way off. Sure wouldn't trade my designer breed (yeah, sure) Bossie Collie (Border Collie and Australian Shepherd mix) for anything...
