One couple said they forked over $600,000 for their mastiff, named Yangtze River Number Two, and transported him to their home via a fleet of Mercedes sedans. Their dog was worth the price, they said, because of his pure bloodline, which is extremely rare.

Tibetan Mastiff has thick, lion-mane-like hair, grows to 80 kilograms and is known for being fierce.
