All About Shar-Pei's
Temperament
The Chinese Shar-Pei can be described as highly intelligent, independent, dignified, and snobbish. They can be standoffish with strangers but will remain devoted and dedicated to their family. They are very alert and have a calm and confident stature. Despite its scowling and frowning expression, the dog is very easy going and calm.
The Shar-Pei is considered to be an excellent family dog. It is devoted to its family and owners and makes an excellent watch dog. They generally do well with children and other pets. Although they are standoffish around strangers they are not considered to be unfriendly.
The Shar-Pei has a high dislike of water. They will avoid water for baths, but have been known to enter ponds, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. of their own accord. Consequently, the Shar-Pei should be trained from an early age to accept being bathed. However, they are excellent house pets because they are considered to be extremely clean. In fact, the Shar-Pei will basically house break itself. This will make having a puppy in the home a little easier. Despite their desire for cleanliness, they do shed some and tend to slobber.
It is important for this breed to be socialized around other dogs from a very young age.
Health Problem
Entropion: The eyelid will roll inwards towards the eye and cause irritation of the cornea. Surgical repair is required.
Hypothyroidism: Inadequate hormone levels force the body to function at a lower metabolic level. This causes extreme weight gain even on a regular diet, skin irritation problems, and a sluggish disposition.
Swollen Hock Syndrome: This causes swelling of the hock joint, reluctance to move, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and sometimes a painful swelling of the muzzle.
Cancer: There are several forms of cancer that have a high incidence rate and currently research is being done to pinpoint which are most prevalent.
The expected life span of the Chinese Shar-Pei is 8-10 years but some Shar-pei's have a life span of over13years.
With such a cuddly looking face, it's hard to believe that a Chinese Shar Pei could serve as a watch dog. Intelligent and loyal by nature, the Shar Pei makes a perfect watch dog for any home. These cute and cuddly pups make great family pets as well as watch dogs. It's like having an alarm, but cute.
Our Shar-Pei's eat Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Fish formula. Plain yogurt and they love sardines. We avoid foods with corn, soy or wheat.
There is three different coat types found in this breed. There is the horse-coat, brush-coat, and the rare bear-coat. The bear-coat is not recognized under the American Kennel Club. The brush-coat can have a coat that is not to exceed 1" anywhere on the body. If over 1" in length, the dog's coat is classified as a bear-coat. The horse-coat has a coat that is stiff and stands straight off of the body. The horse-coat is quite unusual. It is rough to the touch, quite prickly, and off-standing. The brush-coat is longer and has a smoother feel to it.
Shar-Pei come in a variety of colors from Cream, Black, Blue, Fawn, Sable, Chocolate, Apricot and other rare colors as well...
Grooming
The grooming level of the Chinese Shar-Pei is considered to be low or minimal. They do need to be brushed regularly to remove dead hair and then brushed daily during shedding season to reduce the amount of shedding. Despite the low maintenance of the Shar-Pei there are some special considerations. Special attention needs to be given to the ears of the Shar-Pei. It is essential that you never wash the Shar-Pei's head. Getting water in the ears of the Shar-Pei can cause serious problems for them that do not appear in other breeds. They have very tiny ear canals and water in the ears can cause serious ear infections. Some tend to collect more dirt and wax than others and this should be cleaned our prior to bathing. An ear drying solution can be used after the bath just in case some water did get into the ears.
