Among dear pets it is worth noting such an old breed of Scottish dogs as bearded collies. She was born as a result of a cross between an Old English Shepherd and a commander.

The last place in the list of the most expensive dogs is occupied by animals with classical forms. Akita Inu is considered the property of America, in addition, this breed is popular in many countries of Europe. The appearance of such animals is very original. Their head is quite large and has a wrinkled forehead, paws and ears are too massive, like a little 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 humans, but were born on their own. Their ancestors were the Akites, as well as the 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 breed more actively in the 18th century. At the court of the emperor, they were able to obtain a special status. Only those who revolved in the highest circles of society could afford them. If a person offended such a dog, then he was immediately subjected to rather severe punishment.

Today, Akita Inu can even be trusted to take care of small children. They will not only take care of the babies, but will faithfully serve their master, as well as all other family members. In the event of a sudden attack on a person, they will defend him without delay. Such dogs are taken for service in police stations and military units.

Therefore, when buying, pay attention primarily to the appearance of the puppy, its activity, and also be sure to look at the pedigree with information about the parents.
