If you happen to find a Shar Pei puppy in an animal shelter you will be able to adopt them for free. However if you buy one from a breeder then you would expect to pay from å£100 to å£1000 depending on the parentage.
The plural of Shar-Pei is "Shar-Pei". "Shar-Pei" was originally a Chinese word and Chinese words do not have separate singular and plural forms.

You can never be specific because the dog is a cross breed meaning any colouring/features can vary. For example one puppy from a Chow/Rott breeding could have the entire looks of a Shar-pei with Rott markings whearas a different puppy could have a Rott head, shar-pei tail and a mix of the two in body proportions and markings. You can never be sure with a mix breed until the pup has matured some what after birth, usually around 5-10 months.
Yes, Shar Pei's do bark they actually have a tendency to like females more and are protective of them and do bark and are slightly more aggressive to males but not by much they have to be trained to like males (this is rare, but does happen especially with abused Shar Pei's) and not to bark some owner's have there Shar Pei's taught not to bark. Shar Pei's do bark and some more than other's and it depends on the type of Shar Pei's to.
The breed standard says a Shar-Pei should weigh between 40-55 pounds.
yes a shar pei looks like a hippo becuse of it mouth and face.
When you breed a Bulldog and a Shar Pei you end up with a hybrid mix of BullShar puppies.
