A Guide and Crufts Video of the Chinese Shar Pei.A
BRIEF HISTORY. The
Shar Pei
originated in China many centuries ago.
They were used for herding, hunting, guarding and as combatants. When the Chinese Communists came into control they became nearly extinct. During the 1960’s there were very few left and they became the rarest dog in the world. In 1970 a man called Matgo Law began a rescue operation of his native breed. A few specimens found their way to interested parties in the United States. Thanks to this man the Chinese Shar Pei breed is no longer an endangered species. APPEARANCE. An
alert, active, compact dog of medium size and substance, short
coupled and square in profile.
Preferred height 46-51cm (18-20") at the withers. Dogs are larger and more powerful than bitches. The Shar Pei has a number of unique characteristics. The breed has a head which can best be described as "hippopotamus like", very small ears flat to the forehead, loose folds of skin about the head neck and shoulders and a short harsh coat. The Shar Pei breed have a blue black tongue, a characteristic shared only with one canine breed, the Chow Chow. The loose skin and wrinkles are abundant in Shar Pei Puppies, but these features may be limited to the head, neck and withers in adults. TEMPERAMENT AND CHARACTER Calm,
independent, very affectionate, alert and devoted to people. The Shar Pei is a wonderful companion and
family dog. TRAINING The
Shar Pei is very intlligent and learns easily. He can do extremely
well at obedience training. EXCERISE The
Shar Pei does not need a large amount of exercise, most will
exercise themselves if room permits.
But they do love to go for a walk, on a lead and if you only have a suburban block, this should be done as regularly as possible. LIFE
SPAN A

HEALTH Shar-Pei
can suffer from are Hip Dysplasia, Luxating Patellas,
Entropian, Skin problems and Allergies.
The Shar Pei breed club are working on introducing control schemes for hereditary diseases. Responsible breeders make every effort to control these disorders in their stock. Shar Pei bitches can drop their coat after whelping, also both sexes can look a little moth eaten when moulting. Do not mistake these as skin problems as this is quite normal for this breed. THE
IDEAL SHAR PEI OWNER Should
be a responsible person who is willing to share their life and
home with their Shar Pei, a person well versed in canine behaviour,
or willing to learn; a person willing to train, and socialise their Shar-Pei. Shar-Pei craves human companionship and is not a dog that should be left in the backyard and forgotten about. WHAT

the
space and the long term commitment to consider owning a Shar
