Would You Pay 334 Million Naira For A Dog?

A Tibetan mastiff puppy has been sold in China for £1,2 million Pounds, a report said on Wednesday, in what could be the most expensive dog sale ever. A property developer paid the amount for the one-year-old golden-haired mastiff at a “luxury pet” fair on Tuesday in the eastern province of Zhejiang, the Qianjiang Evening News reported.

“They have lion’s blood and are top-of-the-range mastiff studs,” the dog’s breeder Zhang Gengyun was quoted as telling the newspaper, adding that another red-haired canine had sold for 6 million yuan. 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.
