One red clam sold for $ 1.3 million (about 26 billion) in 2011. In early 2014, a clam dog sold for nearly $ 2 million (about 42 billion) in Central National. This is the highest price so far in dog sales. There was also a dog bought by a woman for $ 600,000 and picked up by a convoy of 30 cars to the airport.

Their main food is fresh milk, chicken eggs, chicken heads and neck, ribs and some other foods, three meals a day. Because this is a large and gluttonous breed, they require a large and consistent feed that can grow into a beautiful dog.

In 2013, along with the urban development and introduction of new pleasures, thousands of clam hounds are "disgraced" and pushed out to "self-kill". The Tibetan clams are so pitiful that they have to go to the trash, go to the orphanage, and fight for the day. Many of the clams become good on the table. In China, Tibetan clam dog hot pot dishes are very popular, especially in winter.
