$1.6 million just bought the world’s most expensive dog.
Big Splash, or “Hong Dong” in Chinese, is an 11-month-old Red Tibetan Mastiff. He already stands nearly three-feet-high at the shoulder and weighs more than 180lbs.
He was recently purchased by a Chinese coal baron.

That is the coolest dog I’ve ever seen. Not worth 1.6 million though — not much that is…
The owner says he’ll make his money back in a couple years by breeding him…
expensive dogs die to
Exactly! Who is dumb enough to spent 1.6 million on a dog that could get hit by a bus the next day?
Is it any less dumb to drop that money on a car that could get wrecked the next day?
Insurance…
They make pet insurance too.
That is a real possibility…. this dog being hit by bus, is not.
I don’t think this dog would be likely to be hit by a bus at anytime…. I think this is a dog that would be cared as if he were a little prince or pricess heir to the throne!
You can fix a car, not a dog!! There is no need to pay this much for a dog!!
Actually you can “fix” a dog
Who would be so stupid to let their dog out where it could get hit by a bus?
Its not dumb to spend that kind of money when the dog will be bred and will pay for itself within a year, and then its just income from there.
CCCCCCCC-COMBO BREAKER!!!
Wow, that’s around $8888/lb
I’m not sure I’d want to pay that much for a steak.
That is a sick yet hilarious joke
I wonder if they will feed it grain free food?
I have read articles in a couple of other places on this dog. They are saying they feed this particular dog a raw diet.
How ironic. That’s actually incredibly unhealthy for a dog.
Raw food is unhealthy? Dogs have been eating raw food since forever!
It’s not unhealthy, just FYI.
Raw food diets are AMAZING for dogs; I have no idea where you got your information from.
Raw diets are great for wild animals!! Unfortunately we have domesticated dogs and cats and therefore domesticated there dietary needs. Case in point, Taurine deficiency in cats.
He looks like a giant Muppet!
Totally a muppet. Sesame Street is calling, they want their dog back.
Clifford!!!!!
That dog’s face kind of reminds me of a creeper from minecraft (though obviously the wrong color).
He’s adorable! I want one!
that’s a pricier dinner than even kobe beef!
Amazing looking dog like nothing else, i would buy him for that much if i had the money.
so thats where money goes. and not to starving hobos in newyork crowdin up the place
Hobos can get a job, they are just lazy.
DON’T even start that.
It’s a Chinese coal baron’s responsibility to take care of hobos in New York? That doesn’t make sense..
Clifford!!!
That is one expensive meal.
LOL Thank you.
It’s so FLUFFY!!
I got 22 words about the person that bought this dog…
“stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,
stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,
stupid,STUPID!!!
If someone offered me $1,600,000.00 for my dog they would walk away with their money.
the only dog worth that much money is one that brushes its own hair, buys its own food, cleans up after itself in the yard, takes a bath on its own and makes me dinner every night.
ya know… red # 40 is a carcinogen, just sayin…
It looks like a huge fur coat. If I saw a dog like that I’d go all Cruella De Ville on it. Also, a raw diet is 100% fine for dogs as in the wild they are predators and that is their natural diet. They kill, then eat, and don’t bother spending any time cleaning, cooking, and adding grains and vegetables to their meals. Just like cats.
All that money, and he still scrounges “Roca” from the catbox. They probably give him his own house when all he wants is to sleep on the bed and eat people food.
i hope he doesnt feed it chinese dog food.
Lovely dog! Sooooo beautiful. Looks like a big toy dog!
ARCANINE!
Beautiful dog…but I bet our 2 retired police dogs and my hubbys current k9 can do more tricks than this 1.6 million dollar pup!
Hong dong? Really?
looks shopped
thats about to be the most expensive meal for that chinese man
Let’s see: I’m bought for a lot of money, put into a really healthy situation as I am very valuable, get lots of really great grooming and healthy food so I am looking good for the similarly looking females for whom I am to accommodate as often as necessary and keep’em coming (pun intended). Tell me what self respecting or not so self respecting male would turn up his nose (visual) to that. Get real humans, it’s a dog’s life.
Mitt Romney can afford to put one on top of his car. I’ll happily stick with my $50 rescued mutt.
Absolutely disgusting. The premise of paying for animals based on their bloodlines, not the animal itself. I can understand animals bred for a purpose, like racing, hunting, etc. but domesticated animals?? No.
Hey look! A dust mop with legs!
Apparently they have figured out a way to monopolize dog breeds.
Pretty handsome I’ll admit, though I hear they’re very aggresive.
That is one expensive meal
Wait, don’t you need two of these to breed?
1.6mill for some dog meat,,, damn those Chinese sure do go all out for there food
