As everyone knows, there are several breeds of animals – whether domestic or not – that can cost small fortunes.

And after we've explored the most expensive cat breeds in the world, it's time to find out which is the most expensive dog breed in the world!

The breed that occupies this prominent position is the Tibetan Mastiff!

If you’re unfamiliar with this breed, you’re not alone! Despite being considered the most expensive dog breed in the world, the Tibetan Mastiff is not one of the most well-known breeds.

Drawing attention for its size – as the breed can reach up to 76 cm and weigh 68 kg, the Tibetan Mastiff originates from the nomadic peoples of Tibet, India, China and Nepal.

Originally bred to serve as a livestock guardian, the breed's 'function' has changed over time and, today, the breed has become popular for being a great companion. And all without losing the status symbol it has acquired over the years.

Regarding personality, the Tibetan Mastiff tends to have a more stubborn, reserved profile and, at the same time, intelligent and protective of its owners.

But after all, how much does the most expensive dog breed in the world cost?

Now it's time for the burning question: after all, how much does the most expensive dog breed in the world cost?

In order to enjoy the company of a Tibetan Mastiff, you will have to shell out a good amount of money.

Converted to real, a Tibetan Mastiff can cost more than R$1.5 million. That's a significant amount, right?

And for those who don't have R$1.5 million available to buy their pet dog, know that all is not lost.

Although the Tibetan Mastiff is considered the most expensive dog breed in the world, there are some other options for those who want to invest in a purebred dog.

But we warn you that, despite being cheaper than the Tibetan Mastiff, to have the opportunity to take one of these breeds home, be prepared to invest some very significant amounts.

Pomeranian

We can easily say that the Pomeranian is almost the opposite of the Tibetan Mastiff.

Also known as the German Spitz, one very important factor about the breed should always be mentioned: don't be fooled by the cute teddy bear face that the breed has.

Despite their extremely cute appearance and being commonly associated with luxury and wealth, the Pomeranian's temperament can be a bit difficult, as the breed tends to be a bit stressed.

But still, the breed is also known for being attached to its owners, as well as being very protective.

How much does it cost? To take a Pomeranian home, you will have to pay, on average, approximately R$12 thousand here in Brazil.

Chinese Crested Dog

Of course, a list of some of the most expensive dog breeds in the world had to include those breeds that are considered exotic. And the Chinese Crested Dog is one of them.

Among all the characteristics that make the breed so unique, the main one is, without a doubt, the fact that the breed has almost no hair. 

The vast majority of dogs belonging to this breed have hair only on their paws, tail and head. In other words, it is a great option for those who want to invest in an exotic dog that sheds little hair.

How much does it cost? To take one of these peculiar little dogs home, you may have to pay amounts ranging from R$6,000 to R$10,000.

Canadian Eskimo

Anyone who has ever seen a Siberian Husky up close knows how impressive this breed is. And on our list of the most expensive dog breeds in the world, we have the Canadian Eskimo, which can be considered a 'cousin' of the Siberian Husky.

Jokes aside, the Canadian Eskimo is a type of Siberian Husky. And just like that breed, the Canadian Eskimo is one of the breeds that is most accustomed to cold climates.

This imposing breed has a very dominant and territorial temperament. In other words, when purchasing a dog of this breed, it may be a good idea to invest in trainers to avoid potential behavioral problems. 

How much does it cost? Since this is a breed that is more accustomed to cold climates, most of the time, it is necessary to 'export' this breed, since here in Brazil it is very rare. Regarding the price, a puppy of this breed can cost more than R$30,000.
