A little about the Shar-Pei

The Shar-pei is considerably aloof and requires an experienced dog owner to foster a healthy well balanced Shar-pei. They are a standout watchdog and require relatively little exercise compared to many other breeds. They tend to be foot shy and the natural fighter/hunter in them means they are not particularly keen for other dogs to be around. If overstimulated, Shar-Peis can easily become aggressive. They are highly intelligent, thus receptive to a solid training foundation which will benefit them greatly and can temper their territorial and at times aggressive nature.
