The choice of words seemed that the breeder was doing something unique for TX. 3k would seem pretty cheap for that so I'm guessing/hoping not.

Not a standard poodle, yes that be, well awkward! More of miniature or toy poodle breeding with the king charles.
As for the price point, not unusual and don't think what the breeder is doing for TX is totally unique but maybe he will elaborate on that.
There are many bad breeders out there cranking out puppies. Our newest dog is a Boykin Spaniel which has a very dedicated following in the south. But with some recent publicity (Stephen Colbert has one) their popularity has taken off and so have the number of amateur breeders. The breed, like many, can have congenital health issues and a reputable breeder does the proper testing of the breeding pair to ensure these issues are not passed along. Ultimately you pay a higher price for a quality breeder. Our puppy was $2,500 and we waited almost a year for Tilly.
