Bengaluru: The Koren Dosa mastiff with heavy wrinkled skin, hanging jowls and a blunt nose with an eye popping cost of Rs 1 crore is being imported to India.
Satish, hailing from Bengaluru, who is importing this exotic breed is set to become the first owner of the Korean breed in India. Satish, breeder and president of Indian Dog Breeders’ Association, said two-month-old pups, each costing Rs 1 crore, are flying India from China. This is the first time the breed is entering India, he claimed.
“This is a dream come true, I wanted this dog for over 20 years,” said Satish, who has over 150 dogs, a combination of rare and big breeds, at his farmhouse in Kumbalgodu, and has been in the business for over 25 years. “After a long and exhausting search, I finally got good news. I was in touch with a breeder in China whose Korean mastiff littered recently. I’m importing one female and one male pup,” he said.
