Was sold for 13 million of the world's most expensive dog
Its double coat is long, subject to climate, and found in a wide variety of colors, including solid black, black and tan, various shades of "red" (from pale gold to deep red) and bluish-gray (dilute black), often with white markings. Some breeders are now marketing "white" Tibetan Mastiffs. These dogs are actually very pale "gold", not truly white. Photoshop is often used to make dogs of normal color(s) appear "white" in advertisements.
Instinctive behaviors including canine pack behavior contributed to the survival of the breed in harsh environments. It is one of the few primitive dog breeds that retains a single estrus per year instead of two, even at much lower altitudes and in much more temperate climates than its native climate. This characteristic is also found in wild canids such as the wolf. Since its estrus usually takes place during late fall, most Tibetan Mastiff puppies are born between December and January.
The sale of the century we're talking about, the most expensive dog in the world, is recorded as being that of an 11-month-old Red Tibetan Mastiff named Big Splash. He was recently purchased by a wealthy businessman in China for $1.5 million.
The coat of a Tibetan Mastiff lacks the unpleasant "big-dog" smell that affects many large breeds. The coat, whatever its length or color(s), should shed dirt and odors. Although the dogs shed somewhat throughout the year, there is generally one great "molt" in late winter or early spring and sometimes another, lesser molt in the late summer or early fall. (Sterilization of the dog may dramatically affect the coat as to texture, density, and shedding pattern.)
Since AKC recognition, the number of active breeders has skyrocketed, leading to over-production of puppies, many of which are highly inbred and of questionable quality. Initially, the breed suffered because of the limited gene pool from the original stock, but today's reputable breeders work hard at reducing the genetic problems through selective breeding and the international exchange of new bloodlines. However, some few breeders cling to the practice of inbreeding, do not perform health tests on their breeding stock, and do not support buyers of the puppies they produce. Many puppies and adult dogs end up in shelters and in rescue situations.
Canine inherited demyelinative neuropathy (CIDN), an inherited condition, appeared in one of the prominent lines of Tibetan Mastiffs in the early 1980s. Unfortunately, known carriers were bred extensively and are behind many lines still being actively bred. Because the mode of inheritance appears to be as a simple recessive, continued inbreeding can still produce affected puppies.
As a flock guardian dog in Tibet and in the West, it uses all the usual livestock guardian tactics (e.g., barking, scent-marking perimeters) to warn away predators and avoid direct confrontations.
Hyacinth or Blue Macaw is the world’s largest flying parrot, native to eastern and central South America. The Hyacinth Macaw has a very powerful beak that can easily crack seeds, nuts and even coconuts. They are the most expensive bird on the pet market, but present good value for money as it lives up to 60 years. The popular animated film ‘Rio’ has boosted the sales of this blue feathered friend with children everywhere beg their wealthy parents for ‘Blue’ of their very own.
The De Brazza monkeys, also commonly referred to as swamp monkeys, originate from the wetlands of Central Africa and have an average lifespan of 22 years. They are very hard to locate because of their superior and innate hiding abilities. What makes the most expensive monkey on the pet market, is that due to its rarity it is illegal to keep it as a pet in most countries, particularly in Europe and North America.
