A dog is said to be a man's best friend. And if you want your friend to be of a particular breed, bloodline, or color, you can end up paying a huge amount of money. Today we will be looking at the 10 most expensive dogs only Rich people can afford. You'd think that the adorable corgi would occupy the number one slot on this list, but maybe you're wrong. So, stay tuned to find out what the most expensive dog is.
Number 10. The Tibetan Mastiff
This massive dog made its way to America from Tibet, where it was used to protect sheep from predators like wolves, leopards, and bears. This colossal dog can reach up to 150 pounds in males and can fend off some really ferocious animals. He needs someone who can guide him with nice, firm, consistent training and never force him for anything or use cruelty-based training methods. He is an independent dog but can respond well to routine. Tibetan Mastiff doesn't like discord, so it is not a good idea to argue in front of him or discipline children in their presence as they are likely to sit between you to put off the arguments or scolding. While they were initially used as guardians and protectors, they became too expensive for their owners to maintain, and they slowly began to vanish. Are you wondering how expensive they are? Well, they are for $10,000, and that doesn't include the massive food and maintenance bills.
Number 9. Czechoslovakian Vlcak
The description of a Czechoslovakian Vlcak would pass for a wolf more than a dog. Why does this dog have the semblance of a wolf in the first place? In 1995, scientists experimented with something novel. They wanted to create an impressive breed with the traits of a German shepherd and a Carpathian wolf. They crossbred German shepherds with Carpathian wolves, and the result is what we know today as Czechoslovakian Vlack or Czech wolf. The German shepherd is a smart, agile, and trainable dog while the Carpathian wolf is nothing short of a strong and enduring animal. As is always the case with breeding, the offspring would have the same traits as both parents.
This dog was mobilized to help the Czechoslovakia patrol team guard the borders and perform other policing functions like tracking, search and rescue, etc. Aside from its natural traits, this breed of dog goes through extra training to be more agile and willing to take instructions from its proprietor. From all I have said, you would understand when I tell you that this dog goes for $1,200. This price is nothing compared to the value it adds.
Number 8. The Chow Chow
The Chow Chow originates from Northern China and is one of the oldest and rarest breeds in the world. The dog is itself very expensive to buy, but the cost to own a chow chow doesn't stop there as you need to save up for food, treats, health and grooming issues, and of course, the vet bills, which can total around to $11,000 for their life. Chow Chows are lovely creatures and are devoted to their families, and are very protective of them. To make them good family pets, they need plenty of early socialization, including introducing them to children. Chow chows need the training to clarify their position in the family, or they can become dominant.
Number 7. The Canadian Eskimo Dog
The Canadian Eskimo dog is one of the rarest breeds in the world and is currently facing extinction, with less than 300 dogs remaining in 2018. They were brought to North America from Siberia more than 1,000 years ago and had been decreasing recently since the 1960s. And because they are so rare, they are also quite expensive. Puppies usually cost around $8750, which sounds less than other dogs on this list. But then again, health issues drive the maintenance cost of this breed sky-high. The breed is prone to gastric torsion, entropion, eyelid folds over itself, heat intolerance, and arthritis.
Number 6. The Pharaoh Hound
Aloof and goofy, the Pharaoh Hound can be dated back to around 3000 B.C. It has long been rumored that the breed originates back to Ancient Egypt but was recently proven otherwise. Recent DNA analysis has shown the breed originated in Malta, where, instead of being the pet of kings, it was primarily used for hunting rabbits. IN any case, the breed has been shown in previous Egyptian hieroglyphics, which lends credence to the idea of the Pharaoh Hound existing for centuries. The Pharaoh Hound is a muscular, athletic breed with a graceful stride. His original purpose was to track small games by using his sight, sound, and smell talents. His look exudes an exotic and regal appearance. He loves to be able to play and has intense bouts of energy.
