English Bulldog- $2,000-$5,000 
With price tags up to $5,000, the Bulldog is considered the most expensive breed of dog. The reasoning
behind their price is quite simple, it costs a lot to breed and raise bulldogs. With their awkward body
structure and heavy weight, male bulldogs cannot naturally mount females, and artificial insemination
is required for breeding. It's also almost always necessary to deliver bulldog pups with a caesarian
section, due to the large size of the puppies' heads. Bulldogs are also known for having stillborns
and unintentionally harming their puppies by squashing them. All of these medical issues require a lot
of special attention and veterinary costs. Bulldog owners say they're well worth the cost as they are
on of the most docile, friendly and loyal breeds of dog.

Mona Guenon- $6,000

Savannah Cat- $4,000-$10,000 
These cats are a mix between a domestic house cat and a Serval (an African wild cat). Savannah's usually
grow to be between 10-25 pounds, but have been reported to reach 40. Savannah cats, don't just look
exotic, they have much more agility, and intelligence than their domestic counterparts. Their personalities
are often compared to that of dogs, friendly, assertive, and loyal. Also like dogs, they can be trained
to walk on a leash and play fetch.

Debrazza's Monkey- $10,000 
This Monkey was discovered in Central African swamp lands, and is best suited for warm climates. Due

not believed to be threatened. When young, Debrazza's Monkeys are docile and affectionate, however,
as they mature they can become territorial and unpredictable.

are so high.

allow people to keep chimpanzees as pets, and those that do require that you have exotic animal permits
and licenses.
