Chinese prestige and the Tibetan Mastiff
This amazing breed has an amazing price in China: it can cost up to $600,000!
This three feet tall, 180 pounds breed is considered holy in China: they believe that these dogs help human’s health and security.
But this isn’t the only reason for being so pricey: the Tibetan Mastiff has grown to be a status symbol for Chinese millionaires. One couple transported their new Tibetan Mastiff home by a fleet of Mercedes sedans after having it bought for over $600,000, according to an Time.com.
Even though it is truly a beautiful dog, this breed might not be a perfect choice for families: usually they aren’t very friendly with foreigners and their thick fur requires a lot of care. Plus, since they are used to high altitudes, they might have some problems with breathing at sea-level locations.
