16 Amazing Facts About Shar-Peis You Probably Never Knew

Shar-Pei is a balanced dog, calm and friendly, although, if necessary, it can stand up for itself and its owner. Unprovoked aggression is not typical for Shar-Pei. Proud and independent Shar Pei looks very touching when playing with children. The dog is always inferior in the fight to the child, forgiving the child any freedom, never grinning or snarling. But if it is completely unbearable to endure the sometimes rather cruel childish “caresses”, the Shar-Pei will proudly retire or hide offendedly, and will do it in such a way that even a child understands: he is offended and does not intend to play anymore.

The Shar-Pei is originally from China and is believed to have common roots with the Tibetan Mastiffs and Chow Chow.

Geneticists have found that the age of the breed can be up to 3 thousand years.

Unusual Shar-Pei wool is a strong allergen, therefore, before buying, all family members should talk closely with the dog in order to identify a possible reaction of the body.
