| The Red Tibetan Mastiff |
The Red Tibetan Mastiff puppy has now become the World’s Most Expensive dog
after being sold for almost $1.6 million. Tibetan Mastiffs thought to be
one of the world’s oldest breeds, and legend has it that Genghis
Khan, Attila the Hun and Lord Buddha kept them as companions. More recently, however, they have become
highly-prized status symbols for China’s new rich. The dogs are thought
to be a pure “Chinese” breed and they are rarely found outside Tibet,
giving them an exclusivity that other breeds cannot match.

In any case, a 180-pound 11-month-old red Tibetan Mastiff
known as Big Splash, or "Hong Dong" in Mandarin, just earned the title
of the world's priciest pooch. The breed can grow to be 285 pounds, and
according to the breeder, Big Splash is such a perfect specimen that the
eyeball-popping price is justified. It is believed the breed descended
from wolves 58,000 years ago.
