About the Chinese Shar-Pei

The Chinese Shar-Pei is a medium dog breed originating in China. Adult dogs typically weigh 45 to 60 pounds and live 8 to 12 years. The breed is described as independent, loyal, reserved-with-strangers, dignified.

Experienced owners who can socialise early and manage the breed's skin and eye care. Devoted but aloof with strangers. First-time owners, homes with constant visitors, or those unprepared for the breed's ongoing skin-care needs.

Adult Chinese Shar-Peis need about 45 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 60 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
