Will a Chinese Shar-pei get along with a Maltese?
it depends opn how young they both are. Maltese usually stick to their owners and get very jealous and protective when they are older. If the Maltese and shar-pei are both young, then yes, they should. Plus, the maltest may be scared of sucha big dog, so you may have to teach the shar-pei to not be aggressive towards the Maltese.
Why does my sharpei blink so much?
Shar-Pei's have, among other health issues, weak eye muscles and sensitive eyes. These combined may cause itching or swelling around the eye ball and may also contribute to why your Shar-Pei blinks.
What is a shars?
I believe you may be referring to a Ba-Shar, or Sharp Asset. This is a so-called designer dog breed but is basically a crossbreed. It is a mix between a Basset Hound and a Shar-Pei. As the Ba-Shar is not a standalone breed, it is not legible for Kennel Club registration.
How does a Chinese Shar Pei compare to other breeds as a guard or protection dog?
Shar pei's have loose floppy skin so that in a fight if another animal grabs their skin it doesn't get as damaged. They are very protective over their owners. They have sharp teeth for protection. They have triangle shaped ears so they can't be ripped off in a fight!
What are shar-pei's bred for?
It is good to know the history of the breed of dog that you are choosing as your pet: The Shar Pei originated in Guandong, Province of China and were well known as a fighting dog or guard dog. They were used to protect the Royal Family and were ideal for defence with small ears, tough to grab and if grabbed the wrinkles enabled the dog to turn around and bite back. It is to be NOTED that since the Shar Pei was introduced into the Western world they do not look like the original Shar Pei centuries ago in China. They come in many colors: red (rose), sand, cream, black, and blue, and have the same characteristic blue-black tongue as the Chow Chow. Loose skin and wrinkles cover the head, neck, and body of puppies, but adult Shar Pei most often grow into their skin so that these features are limited to the head, neck and whithers and comes in the three coat types, Horse, Brush and Bear Coat. Health The Shar Pei is prone to health issues: * Painful eye conditions (entropion) where the eyelashes curl inward irritating the eye and untreated can cause blindness. This condition can be corrected by surgery. * These dogs have many allergy induced skin infections, sores and some worse than others depending on the breeder. It is thought that wet/dry dog food is best and free of wheat-gluten, so read your labels closely. * Shar Pei fever and causes short fevers lasting up to 24 hours and sometimes they will not have another such incident and others more frequent intervals and it is quite possibly related to a disease called 'Amyloidosis' caused by unprocessed amyloid proteins depositing in the organs such as the kidneys or liver leading to renal failure. Unfortunately, there is no test at this time to diagnose this condition. NOTE: In some States and some countries these dogs can often be under the category of dogs such as the Pit Bull and can be banned. Also insurance companies may not insure an owner of a Shar Pei so it's best to check with your insurance company. Like the Pit Bull if the owner is well versed in the history of the Shar Pei and goes along with the dog for professional training these dogs make lovely pets. However, the Shar Pei is HIGHLY suspicious of strangers (this includes relatives you do not see often or friends) and is territorial and aggressive without provocation. They are fierce guard dogs. The Shar Pei even with some of these faults is devoted, loyal and affectionate to it's owner and family. With proper training Shar Peis can be accepting of strangers. The Shar Pei is extremely protective and independent of it's family, thus professional training and letting the dog know who is 'the leader of the pack' is extremely important. The dog (any dog) should listen to any command given and to act on it immediately when given that command. WARNING: Even though a Shar Pei may be cute, cuddly as a puppy and an adoring member of the family when it grows up NEVER leave your Shar Pei unchecked if you have people around that the dog is not use too or, don't leave your pet outside when the mail man or any delivery person may come to the door. Like any breed of dog there are drawbacks regarding each breed, so take heed, train the dog, and don't be one of these owners that says 'Oh Ching Ching wouldn't hurt a fly. He loves our family and is so sweet and adorable.' The fact is, NONE of us know our pets 100% when it comes to them protecting their turf or family. == ==
Where is the best place to find free or cheap shar pei puppies?
Pure breed puppies are rarely going to be given away for free because the majority are bred professionally by dog breeders who then sell them for profit. That said, breeds like the Shar Pei would only likely be given away cheaply by private owners. So sites like Craigslist would be the likeliest option.
Is a shar pei dog good for people with allergies?

What is the life expectancy of a shar-pei?
The Shar-pei breed is amongst the oldest in the world. They are classified as an "ancient breed"- showing the fewest genetic differences from wolves, of all dog breeds. As with most ancient breeds, the Shar-pei is of Asian descent (most ancient breeds are from China, Japan, Siberia, or Tibet, all of which are contiguous in region). There is indication that the Shar-pei existed as far back as before 200 BC, as imagery from ancient pottery seems to depict the breed.
Why were shar pei dogs why were they used for fight?
They are a powerful breed and for the same reason all dogs are fought, for the sick entertainment of humans. They were bred with all the extra skin so it would be harder for other dogs to badly injure the other dog.
Are you sure Martians are ugly?
All of the data collected so far indicates quite conclusively that there are no Martians.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Martian or otherwise. Look at those wrinkly Chinese dogs, known as the Shar Pei... I have heard others say that those dogs are so ugly, that they are cute! Go figure...
How often can you bath a shiba inu?
Unlike some other breeds of dog, Shar-peis very often have a distinct dislike of water (no matter how clean). When walking a Shar-pei, one will likely notice the dog will actively avoid even the smallest of puddles, as well as mud, and they may be reluctant to go out in rain or snow. Part of this is a result of the Shar-peis wiring- they are highly cleanly dogs. Western Shar-peis (most Shar-peis in North America were introduced in the 1970s by way of Hong Kong and very poorly bred) are predisposed to many health problems, including several skin conditions, and as such, bathing the Shar-pei must be done at intervals sufficient to keep the dog clean but not to irritate their sensitive skin/fur. This can typically be done less frequently than other breeds.
