World's Most Expensive Dog: Top Ranked Breed Revealed!

1. Czech Wolfdog (Up to $20,000)

Since 1955, the Czech Wolfdog, also known as the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, has been a breed meticulously developed by crossing the Carpathian Wolf with purebred German Shepherds. This unique combination has resulted in a dog that not only resembles a wolf but also maintains a striking canine appearance. The Czech Wolfdog is characterized by its lively, brave, and spirited nature. Like its wild counterpart, this breed is highly sociable and requires the companionship of other animals or humans, whether in a human family or among other canines.

2. Samoyed (Up to $10,000)

The Samoyed dog originated with the indigenous Samoyedic people of Siberia. With an average lifespan of 12 to 14 years, these dogs hail from Russia. Historically, Samoyeds were primarily used for herding, but they also excelled at pulling sleds during the harsh Siberian winters, much like their counterparts, the Siberian Husky, and the Alaskan Malamute.

3. Tibetan Mastiff (Up to $7,000)

The Tibetan Mastiff is an ancient and one of the heaviest dog breeds, weighing up to 160 pounds and standing 33 inches tall. Hailing from Nepal and China, this breed was historically employed to protect homes and flocks, warding off predators such as leopards and wolves. The Tibetan Mastiff may be somewhat stubborn and possesses a strong will, often requiring training to become more amenable to human companionship.

There are many expensive dog breeds out there, but the price of a dog is influenced not only by its breed but also by its lineage. It's important to consider a dog's bloodline when making a purchase.
