The Top 10 Priciest Pets

The slides are misleading. These are not the "priciest pets." They are pets with a lot of money spent on them or left for their support.

Yeah, all you breeders and breeder-lovers keep your heads in the sand, Breeders are over-populating and that's why there are puppy mills. Figure it out.

I am a true dog lover- I currently have 2 pure breed blue-tic beagles, which we bought from a reputable breeder, and 2 rescue dogs- one a jack russell Terrier and the other a basset hound/black lab cross. They are loved equally and loved very much. All 4 deserve to live great lives, and we spend what we can afford on improving their lives. Not shre why that is anyone's business, nor why what other people spend on their animals is my business! The Mastiff from China is an amazing animal with an astonishing history. If he was not alive, but an ancient Chinese piece of art, people wouldn't question his value as art- which is a rather odd Truth! And the rich folk that want to leave money to their critters have every right to do that. I would urge them to also support other animal care agencies so that lives could be saved, and pups rescued, but ultimatly, it's their choice. Fixing the economy is not going to happen off the backs of our beloved animal companions!

What is NOT mentioned in this story is that this particular Mastiff's lines can be traced back over 1000 years to the royal Mastiff line. This is NOT just some ol' average pup. Royal Tibetan Mastiffs MUST stay within the borders of China and can NEVER leave the country. This is to protect the royal lines. And to those all hyped up on those of us who pay for a dog, in addition to the ONE puppy I bought from a breeders, I have 7 rescue Great Danes who are ALL MINE. Now do you want to share in my dog food bill??????

I've worked for rescues and seen all the horrible things that animals are subjected to but I find it unbelievable the audacity of some people. Who are YOU to tell anyone one what type of pet they can have or how much they spend on it?!?! I'm all for helping animals and spaying and neutering and ending puppy mills but where do you get off telling people they can't selectively breed or maintain purebred dogs??? At one time I had a $1000 Boston Terrier from a breeder and I also had a raggedy old Boston that was a puppy mill producer and had been a rescue,,,, Which dog is better? IT IS EVERY INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE PET POPULATION! WHAT , NEXT IT'LL BE THERE ARE TO MANY UNWANTED AND ABUSED CHILDREN IN THE WORLD SO NO MORE HAVING YOUR OWN! YOU MUST ADOPT ONLY! GET REAL!! Worry about yourself and stay in your own lane.. this world would be alot better off!!

This makes me sick. Spend some money helping implement spay and neuter programs in communities that can't afford it! End the killing of a shelter dog every 8 seconds. The way these people are spending money on one pet sickens me. There are so many others that need that funding. Just ridiculous. PUKE!

That chinese dog had better roar and sic at my command.

That chinese dog had better roar and sic whom ever.

Most of these animals didn't even cost that much to buy though, their 'price tag' is simply what their owners spend on them. And most of it seems to be inheritances or such heartache they need to relive their pets... so before you assume they don't love them, I think you should reread the context. :/

None of these dogs were of very good quality.
