    What do you mean? Cockers and other spaniels have a lot in vet bills. Great Danes and mastiff-types have the biggest food bills. English bulldogs are the most expensive to breed because they need c-sections most of the time.
    I think if you were buying a puppy a Caucasian Mt. Dog would be at the high end. It all evens out though as you can find different prices from different breeders.

    I Think Almost Every Toy Breed Is Expensive.
    I Saw A 5000 Dll Rottweiller Once.
    English Bulldogs Are Expensive Too, Around 4000.

    If you're talking about the initial price you pay a breeder I honestly don't think there is a most expensive breed, Bulldogs can run pretty high on average but so do many, many other breeds. The price depends on what each individual breeder wants to sell the puppies for. The average price for my 3 favourite breeds (Tollers, Groenendaels & Rotties) is between $1000 & $2500, there are some under and over those prices of course but that's the average. I've also seen breeders who want $4000+ and personally, I think that's absolutely insane.....

    If you're talking about vet bills, I'd have to say generally speaking, Great Danes and other similar giant breeds would be the most expensive due to their short life span and health issues that come with these breeds. Small dogs can be really expensive as well because some owners don't brush their teeth often enough and small dogs are known for dental issues which can cost a lot to fix if you let their teeth get to s certain point, the same goes far all sizes of dogs but smaller ones I've found, seem to have the most problems.


    Obviously, all of what I've said is just my opinion......

    It is a very hard thing to judge but I'd say all around, Neapolitan Mastiffs.
    They are expensive to buy because they are hard to breed. (mom and easily squash pups) Around $1500-$3000+
    They are expensive to feed because they are massive.
    Their vet bills usually run high.

    Designer breeds I think they're the most expensive for what you could pay just by going to the local shelter and picking up the SAME MIX

    Any dog can be expensive... did you know that the average American spend $15,000 just on food and toys for the life of a dog? Thats not mentioning vet care!

    I personally like my free dog. She's the best! You can't put a price on a wonderful companion.

    For the initial price, there really isn't a most expensive breed. Breeders charge whatever they want, there's no specific pricing per breed.
    I've been BOO'd!

    i heard english bulldogs are quite expensive. because of their head formation, they have to be born by c-section, which isnt cheap.
