Chinese Shar-Peis

The biggest Chinese Shar-Pei ever recorded was probably around 20-25 inches tall at the shoulder and weighed between 60-70 pounds. However, size can vary among individual dogs even within the same breed.

Any breed of Dog, be it a Pit Bull or a Chihuahua, can make an amazing family pet, providing it has a responsible owner. A study performed by Dog Bite Claims showed that statistically the top five breeds most likely to bite someone are: 1) Dachshund, 2) Chihuahua, 3) Jack Russell Terrier, 4) Australian Cattle Dog, and 5) Cocker Spaniel. This surprises many people as they expect to see Dobermanns, Rottweilers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers on this list. This proves once again that there is no such thing as a bad breed, there are only bad owners. Shar Pei's and Staffies can make the most loving and loyal family companions when raised by responsible owners who are willing to socialize them. I myself am lucky enough to own two Staffordshire Bull Terriers, both of which are more than happy to roll over on their back for a tummy tickle from any stranger they meet in the street. When raised with loving and caring owners and with plenty of socialization, ANY breed can make a nice dog!

There are a couple of types with long ears; could be a Basset Hound. Do you have a picture?

they can cost anything between £500 - £1500 depending on colour, type of fur coat, size if any KC REG or papers or even what blood lines and champions are in the family.

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. == ==

If female:MIMI, PEIPEI,SHARON.

If male:SHARP.

Actually there the same Shar-Pei is just shorter than Chinese Shar-Pei

not sure. their hair might make you itchy. anything mixed with a poodle is excellent for allergies.

Make sure your dog food has no by products or corn wheat or soy in it,the first words should be meat, not meat by products,also it should have fruits and veggies.Look for a food called 4 health or blue buffalo, they have no fillers and dogs will eat less.

A purebred Shar Pei should reach between 18 and 20 inches at the shoulders, according the the Kennel Club Breed Standard.

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.

The Shar-Pei is known as "沙皮狗" (literally "Shar-Pei dog) in Chinese.

The first time should be between 6 & 9 months then twice a year.

The most distinctive part of a Shar Pei is the deep wrinkles. Also these gorgeous chinese dogs have a rather strange blue-black tongue. The wrinkles make it easier for this type of dog to twist away if it has been grabbed by another dog whilst in a fight. It is a compact and square dog, and it's head is slightly larger than its body.

Technically yes, however, the coloring typically looks more like a light dusty-brown or gray then blue.

I would say at least three weeks. Our Shar Pei has been bleeding now for 9 days and I think it will be a few more days before she is done.

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 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.

There are three distinct types of Shar-peis in terms of their coats, and each varies in the amount of shedding they do, however overall compared to many other breeds of dog, Shar-peis are considered particularly light shedders.
