And
now, the priced red Tibetan mastiff, thought to be one of the world’s oldest
and most venerable breeds, has another distinction: One of the massive, fluffy
dogs has become the most expensive dog ever sold.
An 11-month old pup named Big
Splash (“Hong Dong” in Chinese) recently sold in the Chinese city of Qingdao
for 10 million yuan — about $1.5 million in U.S. dollars.
The 3-foot-tall, 180-pound dog is
one of a breed that has been around since time immemorial. Tibetan mastiffs are
said to have guarded nomad camps and monasteries, and are rarely seen outside
of Tibet.
