About the Chinese Shar-Pei:
Chinese Shar-Pei information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

A strong and lively breed, the Shar Pei should be exercised daily. Their stiff coats should be brushed every other day. Puppies start out very wrinkled and then loose most of their wrinkles, except for their heads and necks, as they get older. Excessive moisture and debris can be trapped in the folds of skin causing irritation, this can be remedied by wiping the skin with a towel daily. Special attention to the ears is necessary because the Shar Pei has naturally small ears.

Although the original dogs imported to the USA had some problems with aggression, today's Shar Pei has been bred with a stable affectionate personality. They can be good with children and are very loving with their owners. Aloof with strangers, they make great watchdogs and are protective of their family.
