In many countries around the world, dogs are not only pets but also close friends of humans. They are loved, pampered, and cared for just like a family member. Many enthusiasts are willing to spend hundreds to billions of dong just to buy a pet dog. Below is an update on the Top 10 most expensive pet dog breeds in the world today. You will be surprised to know that Vietnam also has a representative on that list.
Top 1: Tibetan Mastiff (1-2 million USD)
Tibetan clams originate from the Tibetan plateau - China. This dog breed is extremely aggressive, ranked first in the list of the most dangerous dog breeds in the world. They are known as the "lords of the steppe" because they possess a large body and outstanding strength that can defeat large animals such as tigers, leopards or lions.
Maybe you've heard or read an article titled: "Tibetan Mastiff costs 1-2 million USD". That is not a rumor but the truth about Tibetan clams in Hebei province - China. It was bought by a businessman for 1-2 million USD, holding the record as the highest priced dog in the world ever.
In the past, Tibetan Mastiffs were only for the wealthy and super-rich with huge prices of up to 1-2 million USD per dog. However, today, most Tibetan Mastiffs in the world are commercialized + widely bred, so the price has decreased quite a lot. An imported Tibetan Clam with great origin and beautiful appearance only costs a few hundred million dong.
Although the Tibetan Mastiff no longer retains its hotness, with its super high price in its heyday, it still deserves to be at the top of the list of the most expensive dog breeds in the world.

Phu Quoc dogs are very popular in the world because of their compact but very intelligent appearance. Normally, only dogs that are truly excellent in both appearance and personality are exported, so it is understandable that the price is so high.
In fact, Westerners consider the Phu Quoc a rare dog breed because there are only 800 registered in the world. Owning one is quite difficult (all have to be imported from Vietnam). Therefore, they are willing to spend 12,000-15,000 USD to buy. It's similar to how Vietnamese people like foreign dogs but ignore domestic dog breeds, for example.

Samoyed is a snow dog breed originating from the Northeast region - Siberia, Russia. They, along with Alaska and Husky, are three famous snow sled dog breeds worldwide.

In our country, there are also many dog farms that have successfully bred Samoyed. They are sold on the market at a fairly cheap price, only from 10-30 million VND per baby.

Their prices only increase, but rarely decrease. For many years now, Samoyed has maintained its position in the top 3 most expensive dog breeds in the world today.
