I don't want to breed anything but Jacks. I am just asking for my aunt and if she wants to do it who am I and for that matter, who are you guys to try and stop her? There is no cause to diss anyone for it, and I don't like it, so if you have nothing helpful to say, then don't say anything at all!

the labradoodles from my area pet shop run anywhere from $900 - $1200.... if you can find one from a private seller/breeder, u'll probably get a better price...

Oh good grief. You really don't understand what the fuss is about these dogs, do you? It has NOTHING to do with the fact that a dog is being bred, it's that poor quality pets are being bred over and over so that they can steal the hard earned money of undereducated individuals. They are violating the codes of the AKC and of the breed parent clubs to create these little designer dogs - all for cold hard cash. 99% of the breeders do no health tests, owner screenings, or follow ANY of the responsible breeder steps.
A bad breeder should really NEVER be paid money for a mutt. With so many mutts dying in shelters each year, why not visit http://www.petfinder.com to see if you can find one that fits your needs?
While I don't condone the creation of these dogs, I'd have much less of a problem if they came from a responsible breeder - meaning all the homework was done correctly. Do the research so that you can ask the right questions and not get taken. http://dogplay.com/Breeding/index.html
The cost of these dogs from poor breeders typically start at around $800 and go astronomically high from there. It's not unheard of for these dogs to cost $2000. From a shelter? Prices start at $25 and sometimes go up to $250.
Edit: Your aunt wants to breed her poodle and you want to breed designer dogs? Please, read the AKC guidelines and the guidelines from the PCA. No dog should be bred just to make puppies. Dogs should ONLY be bred to perfect a breed. This is not an anti-breeding stance, but the stance of the AKC and most breed clubs.
Has the dog been through health screenings? Has he been shown and won? Did he come from a responsible breeder? Are you willing to take full responsibility for ALL the pups for the rest of their lives?
The last thing the world needs are more pet quality over bred mutts. Please have your aunt reconsider. The only moral and ethical thing to do is get him fixed.
**Edit II:
"who are you guys to try and stop her?" I'm someone who volunteers with rescue groups - the people who clean up the messes of BYBs. I'm someone who donates thousands of dollars a year to rescue groups and animal hospitals - more people who clean up the messes of BYBs. I'm someone who can actually READ the AKC guidelines, the guidelines of the Poodle Club of America, and the ethics statements of responsible breeders. Who are you and your aunt to ignore all these things? Who are you and your aunt to bring more low quality pets into this world? Who are you and your aunt to ignore all morals and ethics?

i know ypu don't want any disses, but it's not the breders who keep the dog population going. i think i answered a similar q of yours last night!
also the breeders are obviously telling buyers that labradoodles are LOW maintenance dogs. I'm a groomer and see how lowly they are maintained. anything with a poodle in it is going to be high maintenance! and yes, they DO shed

Price depends on area..what I do know is that breeding done responsibly does NOT make a profit. It is costly, hardwork, time consuming and it can also be heartbreaking.
Breeding mutts is irresponsible, breeding most purebreds is irresponsible. The only responsible breeding done is by those breeders who do genetic health testing (OFA/PennHip, CERF/PRA, Thyroid, etc) research pedigrees for health, longevity, temperament, breed standard, who either show or have their dogs evaluated for breed standard and who have a definate goal in mind besides breeding just to produce puppies and get $$$$$$

i have seen both these pets go for extraordinarily high prices and at the same time i have seen them go for much lower prices...i think lowest i have seen is 300 (which prolly didn't have all it's shots and neutered/spayed yet) to around 1000 (fully insured and all that other stuff) if you pay over 1000 your being majorly ripped off XP hope this helpd in any of your future endeavors

The correct term is mutt/mongrel and can be found at your local shelter for around $0-$500. http://www.petfinder.com/ can help you with shelters.
And just so you know: breeders aren't the only way puppies are brought into this world, there are stray dogs out there that breed.

Hey, I say get whatever makes you happy. Jack Russell's are cool cuz they're really smart. Pure bred dogs are said to be less friendly anyway.
I really can't answer your question tho, sorry.
Just type it in Yahoo search.

It depends on where you are located...and the pekepoos are usually more costly..only because of their smaller size...but the "normal" price is more than likely...$300-500
good luck
