Tibetan Mastiff Puppy Sold for 2 Million US Dollars

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.

The hound was 80 centimeters (31 inches) tall, and weighed 90 kilograms (nearly 200 pounds), according to Zhang, who said the breed to could be compared to "nationally treasured pandas" – hence the high price.

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.
