My brother actually turned me onto these, and I must say, I fell in love with them so much I had to buy a deck. They are poker cards, each with a unique breed and done by several different talented artists. Some are very humorous and definatly all are fun to play with. I guess they are limited edition and there will only be something like 300 ever printed, and when I emailed to get my deck (colors looks beautiful in person, btw) they said they didnt have too many left. So I guess get 'em while you can if you like
The Dobie and Malamute were my favorite of the deck, but you can see them all on their site:

The jack russell is also terribly cute. They always get a good reaction when I pull them out to play a hand or two of poker

how much was it?

Interesting deck of cards. It would be good to have if your are a dog lover. Can have it to show off to your friends. For me I like to play solitaire and having the cards would be nice.

Those cards are definately interesting. I have not seen another deck of cards like them. The Border Collie Jack of Diamonds is a hoot! How funny!
I also like the Doberman cards as well as the Joker Mutt card! I was glad they didn't leave out the mixed breed dogs!
The australian cattle dog card is quite well done too! We've had a couple of those on our farm over the years.
