TIBETAN MASTIFF

One of the largest dogs in the world, this ancient breed traces its origins to Nepal and China. An average-sized Tibetan Mastiff can weigh up to 160 pounds and be as tall as 33 inches. Obedience training for these slightly stubborn and strong-willed canines might bore a few extra holes in your pocket. Mostly bred in the United States, the puppies that come from purebred parents in Nepal can fetch high prices, such as one sold in 2014 at a luxury auction in China for $1.9 million, roughly ` 117,000,000!
