The most expensive dog may trace its ancestry to the Alans/Alaunts, a breed of dog from the Middle Ages, or the Bulldog.  The dog was originally bred for fighting and guarding.  The sport of dog fighting was popular in Bordeaux, France, and the Dogue de Bordeaux, or French Mastiff, proudly bears the city’s name.

Famous French Mastiffs include Beasley, who starred alongside Tom Hanks in Turner & Hooch, and Mac, recently stolen from and returned to Dutch football player Andy van der Meyde.

A puppy from this expensive breed averages around $2300.
