A
Red Tibetan Mastiff puppy has become the world's most
expensive dog
after being sold for almost $1.6 million.
Tibetan Mastiffs thought to be
one of the world's oldest
breeds, and legend has it that both Genghis
Khan and Lord
Buddha kept them. More recently, however, they have
become
highly-prized status symbols for China's new rich. The dogs are thought
to be a
pure "Chinese" breed and they are rarely found outside Tibet,
giving them an exclusivity
that other breeds cannot match.
