I would not pay hundreds of pounds for a cross breed.
IF you do decide to buy one, make sure that the parents are hip scored etc. Just because they are cross breeds does not mean they cannot get hereditary conditions.
If you are looking for a good temperament then you are probably better off going to a rescue centre and getting a young dog rather than a pup - it will have already developed its character. As lankeela says a pup can take after one or other of the parents so you never really know what you are getting until it is older.
Or if you like flat coated retrievers why not go for one of those?
