Yeah dude, probably because those are recent dogs and Lucas was bragging about a dog his mom "once bought", which does indicate it was a past dog and not one of her current dogs.
The current dog on her facebook, I'd be really surprised if she paid less than $700 for it as the people who breed those mutts hype them up as anything but a common mutt and there's such a stupidly entrenched market for "teddybear" puppies (which are, of course, just mutts) that most backyard breeders and mills charge upwards of $800 for them, more if they're 'registered' with the "this means nothing" mutt clubs breeders of those dogs have formed over the years.
But, to answer the rhetorical question, the puggle (pug/beagle mutt) Bella was probably close to a $1000 dog from a shit breeder if she didn't just find it on craigslist. They average between $800-$1200 depending on the color.
https://cutepuggle.com/ is just one quick source of a "reputable" puggle breeder; they charge around $1k for their mutts.
Chloe (Baxter? Whichever dog that is) is a schnauzer mix of some sort, I'll just guess a mini schnoodle (so, mini-poodle/mini-schnauzer mutt) because those are pretty common. $800-$1400 depending on color is what those usually run from the trash people that breed them and sell them as hypoallergenic (no such thing) designer breeds.

So, to answer the question, both dogs could have easily been $900+ if Myrna is as dim as her son and didn't just get them from a shelter or cheap off of Craigslist.
Honestly, if you want to meet some truly stupid people, get involved with dogs, you'll find a lot of people who will angrily and vehemently defend charging and buying mutts for thousands of dollars just because they have a cute marketing name attached to them. People are, overall, kinda stupid as shit when it comes to dogs.
Since I just spent two posts trashing mutt breeders, I do want to be clear that I have nothing against the dogs themselves, it's pretty rare that I don't have a mutt but I sure as fuck wouldn't buy one from a backyard breeder (which is what every single mutt breeder is). If I wanted to be one of Those People I'd call my current mutt a chiweenie because that's what he'd be sold at if I'd bought him from a shitty breeder instead of finding him at a shelter. Imagine a 20lb daschund with a chihuahua's head and huge upright chihuahua ears. That's him, and he looks hilariously amazing. I could probably sell him as a chiweenie for $600 or so to a moron if I wanted to.
Point is, unscrupulous breeders prey on tards like Myrna and Lucas to make bank, and they tend to make a lot of bank because the average dog owner is really fucking stupid and impulsive.
Edit: Forgot to add, a lot of shelters and private rescues charge pretty high prices for their dogs, mostly to offset cost of care. Around here it's not uncommon for a municipal shelter dog to run $300-$500 depending on the breed. I've run into some private rescues that routinely charge between $400-$600 depending on the breed as well. If she did get those dogs from rescues or shelters I can't complain too much about the pricing as those places are often non-profit and need to make enough money to be able to, y'know, shelter, feed, and care for the dogs they take in. Those prices also discourage impulse adopting, though most rescues discourage that by having kind of insane adoption contracts, including things like you have to provide them with regular updates, and subject yourself to random unannounced home visits so they can "ensure" the dog is safe. Honestly, there could be a section on KF just for dog people and it'd never run dry because dog people, by and large, are fucking insane, especially those that work in rescue or with designer mutts.
That aside, the troll reviews of Lucas' games as well as Lucas under sock accounts pretending to be other people giving his games good reviews will never not be funny.
And I love how he thinks that the men that get involved with gold diggers don't know that that's exactly what the transaction is. The
majority of them do know that and they're fine with it, which is why they do it. For a lot of them it's just a legal, safer option than prostitution. They get what they want (she gets paid well, he gets to bang a hot chick and show her off) but don't have to put in any of the effort of a 'normal' relationship.
