Most Expensive Dog Breed
Written by: jeremy Filed Under: Luxury, World on October 17th, 2007The most expensive dog was originally bred for fighting and guarding. Typically standing over 24 inches and weighing more than 100 lbs, it can be a terror if not socialized at an early age. The sport of dog fighting was popular in Bordeaux, France, and the Dogue de Bordeaux, or French Mastiff, proudly bears the city’s name.

The most expensive dog breed may trace its ancestry to the Alans/Alaunts, a breed of dog from the Middle Ages, or the Bulldog. It was known in France as early as the 14th century and was entered into its first show in the 1863. It wasn’t until the 1920’s, though, that the French Mastiff became a uniform breed. The dog was virtually unknown outside of France until the late 1800s and was threatened with extinction after WWII. In 1970, though, the Dogue de Bordeaux population began to grow again.
Famous French Mastiffs include Beasley, who starred alongside Tom Hanks in Turner & Hooch, and Mac, recently stolen from and returned to Dutch football player Andy van der Meyde.
A puppy from this expensive breed averages around $2300.

co-workers family has one and as a puppy, it was adorable, but massive. now a few months old, it still thinks it’s a puppy and is just huge. i’m scared to see what it will be like once it’s fully grown.
funny note, their other family dog, a chiuaua.
I thought that the Norwegian Puffin Dog was the most expensive dog cause they are extremely rare.
Hey I never knew that the dogs that live in my house are the MOST expensive dogs in the WORLD, our dog Boomer weighs in at 192 lbs.
Who cares about price for a dog. I picked up a big male purebred Wiemarainer at the local pound for $42. I live on Maui, and some moron got this dog for an apartment. This dog could hunt pig, would point, could flush, and he could retrieve on land and in water. At 110 pounds he was also an intimidating watch dog. I have owned a dozen dogs of different breeds and the Weimaraner whips them all !!

goldendoodles a mix of a golden retreiver and poodle sells for 3k. you can buy pure breed english bulldog for 5k and some greyhounds can cost well in to the 10k price range. so there really isnt a most expensive “breed” it depends on how popular, where you get it, and its blood line.
