Chinese Shar-Pei

Chinese Shar-Peis are well-proportioned dogs with a non-sporting background, a loyal core temperament and a typical lifespan of 8–12 years. They need low daily activity and low grooming, and they're usually better matched with older children or adult-only homes. Owners praise them for being unique striking appearance, but it's worth knowing they can be prone to skin problems before you commit. This guide covers the full picture: history, appearance, temperament, training, health, nutrition and the ideal owner profile.
