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.
