Golden haired beautiful Tibetan Mastiff became world's most expensive dog breed. A golden-haired Lion Blood Tibetan mastiff puppy has reportedly been sold in China for a whopping $2 million (equivalent of 1.44 million euro), potentially making it the world's most expensive dog.
A property developer paid the amount for the one-year-old golden-haired mastiff at a “luxury pet” fair in the eastern province of Zhejiang on Tuesday, fetching 12 million yuan ($1.95 million), according to AFP, which cites a report in Chinese newspaper Qianjiang Evening News.
The breeder Zhang Gengyun, who sold the puppy to a property developer, is reported to have told the paper that the mastiff had "lion's blood and top-of-the-range mastiff studs" and that a similar dog had sold for 6 million yuan.
Enormous and sometimes ferocious, with round manes lending them a passing resemblance to lions, Tibetan mastiffs have become a prized status symbol among China’s wealthy, sending prices skyrocketing.
