Keep scrolling to see what the most expensive dog breeds are, and some of their key traits.

Berger Picard

You don’t see a lot of Berger Picards these days because not only are they expensive, but they are very rare, probably why they cost so much. A Berger Picard costs around $2,500, and they were originally bred in France. Like a lot of dog breeds, the Berger is a working dog and many farmers used to own them.

They are what are known as ‘herders’ as in they are dogs that enjoy herding livestock like sheep. The Picard has started to gain in popularity once more, because of a couple well-known movies that featured a Picard. If you watched the film Because of Winn-Dixie, then you have seen these adorable shaggy dogs.

Neapolitan Mastiff

The Neapolitan Mastiff is a dog breed that is as old as ancient Rome. These 150 pound dogs were originally used by the ancient Romans as guard dogs, and even today can be seen guarding properties.

They tend to be a pretty solitary breed, and enjoy having a big yard to run around in. When a Neapolitan gets bored, it can be a bit of a chewer. If you want to add one of these to your family, a puppy will cost around $5,000.

Dogo Argentino

As the Dogo Agrentino’s name might suggest, these big dogs originated in Argentina. They were first bred by a man named Antonio Nores Martinez, with the purpose of using them as a hunting dog. Argentina has a lot of wild boar, which is what the Dogo Argentino is good at catching.

The Dogo can weigh around 100 pounds when fully grown, and if they are not well-trained can become quite aggressive. This is the kind of dog you purchase if you have a lot of land, and are looking for a pup that enjoys protecting its owner. A puppy costs around $5,000.

Puli

These strange looking dogs were first bred in Hungary as sheep dogs, and their rope-like fur even gives them the slight appearance of a sheep.

Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg has brought the breed a lot of attention in past years, as he often shares photos of his. They are on the expensive side, and a puppy costs about $2,000.
