Chinese Shar-pei Dog
 

 The Chinese Shar-Pei is an easy going breed, that can be friendly when well socialized. The Chinese Shar-Pei can also be fiercely independent and aloof. The Chinese Shar-Pei is a serious and confident dog, and often keeps to himself. The Chinese Shar-Pei commands respect, but will also give mutual respect when properly trained and socialized. Aggression with other dogs and animals can be a problem, with the Chinese Shar-Pei dog. Originally bred as a fighting dog, the instinct of a Chinese Shar-Pei may be aggressive if provoked. It is important to ensure that the Chinese Shar-Pei breed receives early socialization if you want him to be around children and other pets.
 
 You will find that training the Chinese Shar-Pei can sometimes be a challenge, as he can be very obstinate and stubborn when he wants to be. The Chinese Shar-Pei is probably best suited to those with some level of experience in ownership. A determined with plenty of stamina, the Chinese Shar-Pei does need regular walks. The Chinese Shar-Pei breed is a born hunter, and may see cats as prey as well as attacking livestock, so great care must be taken not to let him off the leash if you are out and about.
 
 The Chinese Shar-pei Dog
 The Chinese Shar-pei is automatically noticed for its loose, droopy, and wrinkly skin and corresponding stern, mournful expression. This breeds are an intelligent, alert breed that was originally bred for fighting but now serves as an excellent family dog. They have a wide “hippo” face and legs that are stubby and short. The Chinese Shar-pei has three coat varieties, the horse coat, the brush coat, and the rare bear coat (this is not recognized by the American Kennel Club). Coat colors range from solids to sables.
 
 Chinese Shar-pei Skills
 The Chinese Shar-pei can be traced back to the ancient Han dynasty in China and in its southern provinces. They were known then as fighting

dogs although they were also used to shepherd, hunt, and guard the farm and the family. It nearly became an extinct breed (it was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for world’s rarest ) but for a timely appeal for help in the 1970s and has grown to more than 70,000 dogs today in the US alone.
 
 Chinese Shar-pei Personality
 The Chinese Shar-pei is an intelligent that will give its loyalty and affection to a handler, master, or owner who has earned its respect. It will not blindly follow orders but can also be playful and dominant. The Chinese Shar-pei can bond easily with its family and remain aloof and distant from strangers. It can adapt with other household pets if it has been socialized well from a young age. They can become stubborn but that can be overcome with gentle and firm training.
 
 The Chinese Shar-pei Exercise Needs
 Daily 30 minute walks should suffice. However, it is not advisable to exercise the Chow Chow when they’re still a young puppy, as that can make them susceptible to joint problems.
 
 The Chinese Shar-pei Living Conditions
 The Chinese Shar-pei will be fine with apartment living so long as it gets enough exercise. It does move around indoors and does not really require a yard. The Chinese Shar-pei is sensitive to heat, though, and will need shade from the sun.
 
 The Chinese Shar-pei Grooming Requirements
 As a breed, the Chinese Shar-pei can be somewhat high maintenance. Because its coat has many folds, owners must pay attention that there is no irritation hiding inside. To keep the coat looking beautiful, it must be brushed regularly with a bristle brush.
 
 The Chinese Shar-pei Health Issues
 The Chinese Shar-pei is known to have constant skin problems and eye issues such as entropion and other such allergies.
