The last place in the list of the most expensive dogs is occupied by animals with classic forms. Akita Inu is considered the property of America, in addition, this breed is popular in many European countries. The appearance of such animals is very original. Their head is rather large and has a wrinkled forehead, paws and ears are too massive, like a small bear cub. Akita Inu is beautifully built and belongs to large breeds of dogs.

It is also worth noting that dogs of this breed were not bred by man, but were born independently. Their ancestors were Akitas, as well as Matagi Inu, who lived in the Odate Mountains in the 8th century. Most often, dogs were used to hunt bears, as well as wild boars. Thanks to this, the dog received the name "respected hunter", this is the translation of "Akita Inu" from Japanese.

These dogs began to be bred more actively in the 18th century. At the court of the emperor, they were able to receive a special status. Only those who moved in the highest circles of society could afford to have them. If a person offended such a dog, then he was immediately subjected to a rather severe punishment.

Today, Akita Inu can even be entrusted with taking care of small children. They will not only take care of the little ones, but will also faithfully serve their master, as well as all the rest of the family. In the event of a sudden attack on a person, they will protect him without delay. Such dogs are taken for service in police stations and military units. Puppies can cost anywhere from $ 1,500 to $ 5,000.

Summing up, we can say that no matter what breed of dog is chosen, the most important point is not its price, but the characteristics of health and character. Therefore, when buying, pay attention first of all to the appearance of the puppy, its activity, and also be sure to look through the pedigree with information about the parents.
