Check out the 12 most expensive dog breeds in the world >
Tibetan Mastiff
Price: $2,200—$7,000.
The most expensive dog in the world was a Tibetan Mastiff called Big Splash. He was sold for $1.5 million to a Chinese coal baron. The massive build of a Tibetan Mastiff hides a loyal, calm and good-natured pet. The breed loves open spaces—a farmhouse or a sprawling bungalow is perfect for this big ball of fur (they are known to weigh as much as a 100 kgs).
French Mastiff
Price: $3,000
A breed slightly easier to procure than the Tibetan variety, the French Mastiff grows up to be a strong and imposing dog. Pure brawn and high maintenance, the French Mastiff is often considered as status symbols by the elite. Salman Khan popularly named his two French Mastiffs "Myson and Myjaan."
Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Price: $1,000
The Welsh Corgi has a folklore attached to its breed; according to legend, it served as a steed for fairies (hence the saddle-like pattern on it coat). Most famous for being the favorite breed of Queen Elizabeth II, the Corgi has been the most preferred pet of British royalty for more than seven decades. Its price matches its elite status—the pint sized pooch costs at least $1,000, but may increase depending on breed and pure blood line.
