These are some truly unusual, beautiful and costly dogs! Not all of us can afford them, but we certainly can dream!

Pug 

Though not as expensive as the purebreds listed below, pugs can still be expensive, depending on which breeder you purchase your pug from. Pugs vary from $500 to $2000, but they are well worth the price tag! As you already know, pugs make wonderful companions and all of the love and puppy kisses you will receive over the years will pay for them ten times over!

Tibetan Mastiff

One of the more ancient breeds, the Tibetan mastiff isn't a true mastiff, despite the hefty price tag of around $3,000 per pup. This breed was made for working but is also a born protector. Courageous, loyal and protective, this is the guy or gal you want with you if you happen across a bear in the woods. But it really isn't appropriate for smaller homes or yards as it needs plenty of room to play.

French Bulldog

The Frenchie, as it's oft called, has the kind of personality that's a dream for an apartment dweller with a size to match. It's laid-back (some might go so far as lazy), but it can be playful and is easy to train. As with many a small, strong dog, it can be a bit stubborn, but for all these strengths, if we had to guess, the average of $2,050 you'd pay for a puppy has to do with its natural sense of humor that's earned the breed another nickname: clown dog.

Norfolk Terrier

They may be tiny, but Norfolk terriers are fearless… maybe even stubborn. But don't call these little guard dogs ankle-biters. They actually aren't as vocal as most small dogs are either. These happy, confident and spirited pooches, valued at an average of $2,000, are worth every penny to big dog lovers who need a small dog.

Irish Wolfhound

This gargantuan sweetie may look like a werewolf from Harry Potter, but it's actually a loyal and quiet pooch with an ancient history (as old as 7000 BC). They're imposing in size but have a sweet smile that belies their size. That smile is what's perfect for your fam, but the size will keep all but the bravest intruders at bay, which is probably why one of these puppies costs around $1,900.

Whew! They are certainly beautiful pooches but what might price tags! Would you pay or have you already paid this much for your pooch?!

If you are curious about more of these pricey pups go on over to She Knows. Just wait until you see the price of the Argentine mastiff!

As much as I love these gorgeous and unique dogs, I think I'll stick to our little mutt. He may not be a pure breed and pampered, but I love him just as much!
