The Most Expensive Dogs On The Planet
In a world hell-bent on proving that everything can be priced, the higher the better, it is not surprising that some pets are on the rise in the market. Beyond considering that having so many abandoned animals in search of a home, why buy one, we will tell you which are the most expensive dogs on the planet.
Find out for which breed of dog the highest figure was paid
The Tibetan Mastiff became the most expensive breed of dog when a short time ago, a Chinese billionaire bought a copy for around 1.6 million dollars.
In addition, this fact made the race become fashionable among the upper classes of China, who consider it a sign of status and economic power. However, the usual price of these dogs is usually around $7,000.
This true giant -which can reach 90 kilograms- seems to have its origins in the Himalayan area, where it was used as a herding dog and thus gained its fame as a guardian of Tibetan tempos.
Intelligent, independent, calm and with an imposing but good-natured appearance, his double and dense coat is one of his main characteristics.
Taking out the checkbook …
There are some breeds of dogs for which you tend to pay more than what a Tibetan Mastiff normally costs. They are:
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel . With their air of royalty already from the name, they are affectionate, active and cheerful animals. Sometimes they take to chasing everything that moves. Although its size is small, you can pay $14,000 for each copy.
- Samoyed . It is one of the oldest breeds of dogs, which takes its name from a region in northern Russia, where these animals were used for grazing and pulling sleds. Tender and impeccably white, it is difficult to resist them, unless you do not have the 10,000 dollars they cost.
- Rottweiler . Despite the fact that Spanish law considers them “potentially dangerous”, these beautiful big men are calm, docile and great protectors of the home. They are valued at around $8,000.
What other breeds make up the list of the most expensive dogs in the world
Other breeds that are part of the exclusive list of the most expensive dogs on the planet are :
- Pharaoh Hound . They are originally from Malta but have a thin and haughty appearance that, unfailingly, refers to the ancient Egypt of the pharaohs. You can get them for about $6,500.
- English bulldog . Friendly and sympathetic in appearance, they are characterized by their broad shoulders and large head. In addition, they usually have thick folds of skin on their forehead. The price that is normally paid for one of these animals is $5,000.
- Akita Inu . This type of dog became famous thanks to the film Hachiko, always by your side , a song to the fidelity of a dog for its owner, beyond death. The cost of one of these copies is around $4,500.
Beyond what is listed on the market, he loves your furry very much
Bought or adopted, the most important thing is what you want a dog for. If it is just for fashion or figuration, surely you will go astray.
Having a pet implies a permanent responsibility in different aspects -food, health, education, hygiene, etc.- but, above all, it means feeling affection for the little animal.
On the other hand, a furry will be your faithful friend and companion regardless of his race or how much you paid for him.
And, although it is clear that everyone does what they want with their money, perhaps it would not be wrong to invest, even a small part, in helping a shelter or a shelter for abandoned pets.
