What would be the most costly purebred?

Question

The bigger, the more money? That kind of thing.

Answer 1

I think English Bulldogs are. Somewhere in the thousands.

Size doesn't affect price.

Answer 2

Bulldogs and Designer dogs (Doodles, Puggles, ect) seem to be the highest priced right now going for anywhere from $1,000 to $1,700. Even though designer dogs are really just mutts, their breeders will tell you that they aren't because they are trying to start new breeds.

I know the Humane Society of Tulsa tried to sell an English Bulldog for $900, and that's a rescue shelter! I also know of a lady who paid $1,600 for a Golden Retriever because of it's blood lines. However, it looks more like a Golden and Irish Setter mix and is kinda mean. She got ripped off if you ask me.

Answer 3

The cost of owning the world's smallest breed of dog, a favourite with celebrites like Paris Hilton, Britnety Spears and Sharon Osbourne, far exceeds its larger cousins – a statistic that tells us much about the Chihuahua's owners.

According to research carried out by the pet insurers esure, Chihuahua owners are twice as likely as keepers of other breeds to buy fresh meat, vegetables and gravy for their pets.

They also have a weakness for spoiling their dogs by giving them jeweled collars, designer doggie outfits or personalised beds.

The total bill, including vet costs, food, grooming, kennels and insurance came to £6,081-per-year, working out at £88,691 during a Chihuahua's 13-year lifespan.

The average spent on other types of breed was £31,000, the equivalent of £2,388 a year.

"Today's household pets are treated more like members of the family and this new attitude is reflected in the amount owners spend on their pet's life style," said Mike Pickard, the head of pet insurance at esure.

One fifth of owners faced a larger financial challenge because they owned more than one dog.

The greyhound was the second most expensive breed with a lifetime bill of £82,797 followed by the mastiff, which costs £81,619.

The boxer was fourth at £49,896 while the English setter was just behind at £49,548.

The research found that vets fees, food and kennels were the most expensive outgoings in that order.

Answer 4

the most costly purebred would be one that you bought from a byb or pet store, and then ended up paying thousands for in vet costs as a result of health problems.

As far as the most expensive because of the rarity, it would most likely be direct offspring of whatever just won at Crufts or Westminster.

Answer 5

no usually its the smaller the more costly due to bybs and con artists but any purebred dog reasonably priced would be about $600
