The 5 Most Expensive Dogs In The World

There are hundreds of different dog breeds that can be found throughout the world, each with its own history, character and particularities. Although dog lovers know that these great four-legged friends are priceless, the truth is that there are breeds that, due to their characteristics or exclusivity, are among the most expensive in the world.

Any dog has its cost, like food. It does not matter if you choose fluffy dogs, small dog breeds, dogs that look like teddy bears, intelligent dog breeds or loyal dog breeds. Every dog needs his care such as: veterinary care, food, toys, treats, grooming and a walk in the park. Of course, there’s also the initial cost of buying the dog (unless you’re adopting a shelter dog), which is the criteria we used for this list of the most expensive dog breeds. Let’s meet The 5 Most Expensive Dogs In The World!
