Bengaluru man buys first of its kind 'wolfdog' for Rs 50 crore

The dog is reportedly a crossbreed between a wolf and a Caucasian Shepherd.

A Bengaluru man has bought a 'wolfdog' named Cadabomb Okami for about Rs 50 crore ($ 5.7 million).

According to a report by The Sun, the dog is a crossbreed between a wolf and a Caucasian Shepherd which is also believed to be a first of its kind.

S Satish (51) who bought the pup in February is known to own about 150 expensive breeds of dogs in Bengaluru.

The dog pup, which was born in the US is only 8 months old, weighs nearly 75 kg and stands tall at 30 inches.

President of the Indian Dog Breeders Association Satish told the publication, "He is an extremely rare breed of dog and looks exactly like a wolf. This breed has not been sold in the world before."

"The dog was bred in the US and is extraordinary. I spent 50 million rupees on buying this pup because I am fond of dogs and like to own unique dogs and introduce them to India," he added.

Caucasian Shepherds are muscular, fluffy dogs and guardian breeds which are known for their protective instincts and intelligence - that 'should never be taken lightly', according to the American Kennel Club.

According to a report by New York Post, Satish mkaes money by showing off his expensive breeds of dogs to excited crowds charging about Rs 2,41,472 ($2,800) for 30 minutes and Rs 10,09,089 ($11,700) for 5 hours.

Satish asserted, "I spent money on these dogs because they are rare. Besides, I get enough money because people are always curious to see them. They take selfies and pictures. My dog and I get more attention than an actor at a movie screening, we both are crowd-pullers."

He also owns a Chow Chow, a dog breed which looks very similiar to the Qinling Panda - red and white in colour found in China, which Satish bought for about Rs 28 crore ($3.25 million) in 2024.

Great care is taken of all the breeds on a 7-acre farm where each dog has a 20 x 20 feet room as their kennel.

Satish said, "There is enough space for them to walk and run. There are six people to look after them. They don’t need air conditioner as the weather in the city is cool, but they are well taken care of."
