What a beautiful comment. Yes we are here to take care of them and love them. I have a beautiful blue Shar Pei, she’s almost 3. I love her to bits. She’s the light of my life.

As a owner of a sharpei, it is so rare to find such a rare dog at a shelter. You would need to find a breeder. a breeder that you know that you can trust And you know they know what their doing.

They may have aggression because of old owner at first. But as you grow a relationship, and build trust, a sharpei is a good choice. They don’t shed that much but still shed a little of course. We have a blue dilute sharpei and his name is Smokey (gray colored). Just turned one years old now and we’re getting another pup this coming December 16th 2020. (Same breed) but he’s gonna be a cream.

after a while she will grow to concider your dogs family. I have a 9 yr old shar pei and when we got her she was 7 (a recue) and we had two cats, after a while she grew to love them. Now she even sleeps with one of them, thier a magnificent breed and i think you should accept.

Female Shar peis can be very dominant and protect I’ve over new owner I would say no to a girl but. Boy

I have a friend that wants to give me a female sharpei. She is a female, 6 months old and very timid and sweet. She is laid back and a very nice dog. i have 2 dogs of my own that are not aggressive but do play rough with each other. I would love to have her but I love her personality as she is now. I am in my 60’s and ready for a more laid back large dog. Do you think my dogs will change her personality?

As an owner you have great control over how your dog acts, however, dogs can be either good or bad. Having a dog that was bred for fighting is like owning a gun, it is your responsibility. If I were less aware and courteous I would buy a muzzle if I had any concerns. My dog is the traditional variation with a mix but is very much a Shar Pei. His hair is fine and short and doesn’t shed much beyond his bed. He has only gone to the bathroom inside a couple times when he was alone and feeling ill and he felt terrible about doing it. I think the dog foods I bought were too rich, I have cooked rice and mixed it with tuna and canned vegetables for many years now. He is very smart and I only had to tell him things once. Sometimes I just have to snap my fingers and he stops doing whatever it is that is wrong. He was not socialized like he should have been but also has a past. If I tell him to sit or lay down when a larger dog is around he is fine. He really wants to play but it comes across too aggressive so I tell him to lay down.

I got my Buddy almost 13 years ago from a friend whose doorsteps he showed up on in 29 Palms, California. I am not sure how long he was in the desert by himself but he was attracted to my friends dog. I didn’t think he even liked me when we met, he didn’t seem to care until I would get ready to walk away and then he would watch me. He is the same with strangers; if they want to pet him he is not always keen on it but if its not about him he wants the attention. He looks a lot like the headshot of the only non Americanized wrinkle dog on this page. He is the best dog I have ever had!

He gets along well with smaller dogs unless he is feeling ill from something he should not have eaten. He lives with 4 rotten pugs who devour everything in sight, while he would pick at his food for hours when it was just him. He was not exposed to people or dogs much in the desert and prefers women. Likely either the single breeder in the area or a marine being deployed dumped him – he likes car rides but gets so nervous he shakes, same with men in their 20s. He minds very well but now with belligerent pugs around he sometimes doesn’t think he should be the only one to follow rules but he does.

For several years he had a sore in the fold of his ear that wouldn’t heal completely, it would stay red and irritated. After putting some athlete’s foot cream on it it totally healed and has never bothered him again. I have had German Shepard’s, Dobermans, Labs, Boxers, Beagles, mutts and small dogs… Buddy is the best by far!
