The most expensive dog breeds in the world

We love dogs not for their cost – purebred puppies become the same beloved family members as dogs from elite kennels. But sometimes the news is simply amazing: the most expensive dog in the world, the Tibetan Mastiff Hong Dong, cost his owner one and a half million dollars! About how much the most expensive puppies of other breeds can cost – later in the article.

Most Expensive Small Dogs

Decorative pets of small size, similar to plush toys, feel great in city apartments. Small, expensive dogs make great companions for those with a few thousand dollars to spare.

Lövchen — from $3

The name of this breed is translated as “little lion”: the dogs shave the back of the body, leaving a brush on the tail, and the front remains fluffy and resembles a lion’s mane. It is difficult to find a purebred Lövchen due to the small number of kennels: only about three hundred puppies are born annually around the world.

Pomeranian – from $4

Fluffy crumbs invariably cause delight in children and tenderness in adults – it is not surprising that they are considered one of the most popular breeds. Their breeding was carried out by the British Queen Victoria, who gave the Pomeranian their toy appearance.

Most Expensive Medium Dogs

Pharaoh Hound — from $7

It is considered the national breed of the island of Malta. They attract attention with their unusual appearance, reminiscent of the ancient Egyptian images of the god Anubis. Historically, Pharaoh Hounds were used to hunt rabbits, so even today they require a lot of active movement. The high price of this breed is due to its rarity.

French Bulldog – from $5

Good-natured companion dogs appeared at the beginning of the XNUMXth century as a result of crossing English bulldogs with Parisian rat-catchers. Breeding French bulldogs is difficult: there are only two or three cubs in the litter, and narrow hips make it difficult to give birth to puppies. 

The most expensive large dogs

Samoed – $14

Samoyeds are easily recognizable by their thick snow-white fur and smiling expression of the muzzle. They are smart, sociable and very active, because in the past they were hunting and sledding dogs of the Siberian northern tribes. Purebred Samoyeds are considered to be one of the most expensive dogs in the world.

Tibetan Mastiff – $10

These fur giants guarded sheep herds from wolves and other predators. Their large size and formidable appearance alone could scare away even the most hungry beast! Over time, the maintenance of such large dogs became too expensive for the Tibetan nomads, so this ancient breed gradually turned into a rather small one.

Azawak – $9  

Another name for this breed is the African Greyhound. She has a slender, flexible body, a graceful muzzle, and beautiful almond-shaped eyes. Azawakhs tolerate high temperatures well, as their homeland is the tropical savannah. African greyhounds are a rare breed, which is why their cost is so high.

No matter how much the pet costs, what matters is how the relationship between him and the owner develops. Let life together be easy and independent of financial obligations.
