The World’s Most Expensive Dog Breeds -Ranked

1. PORTUGUESE WATER DOG

First up is a breed many people haven’t heard about and there is a very specific reason why, because well… they are expensive. The rare Portuguese water dog arrived in the U.S in the 1970s and has a very traditional haircut (shortly trimmed tail and hindquarters) all owners are expected to manage.

The breed is hypoallergenic and requires an active lifestyle. So, for anyone with a 9 to 5, the Portuguese water dog isn’t for you. Also, you must have at least $22,000+ lying around to keep up with this breed’s care with an initial cost of $2,200.
