Q&A
answer · Shar-Pei
I once found my Shar-Pei sitting in a pile of packing peanuts after I moved. She looked like she was having the time of her life!
answer · Shar-Pei
Yes, I'd recommend a Shar-Pei, mostly because they are such sweet and affectionate dogs. They can be aloof with strangers but are incredibly devoted to their families. I love their calm nature, but they can be a bit stubborn. Make sure you have patience when training them.
answer · Shar-Pei
One common misconception is that Shar-Peis are unfriendly. In reality, they're very loyal and can be incredibly affectionate. They may seem aloof at first, but with time, they bond deeply with their families. Their unique wrinkles can make them appear grumpy, but they are often just curious. If you give them time, they can be the sweetest companions.

For my Shar-Pei, skin care is essential. I regularly check and clean the wrinkles to prevent irritation and infections. I use a gentle, hypoallergenic cleanser followed by a soft towel to dry them properly. Moisturizing is also a part of my routine, especially in the winter when the air is dry. Regular vet visits help, too, as they can check for skin conditions. Luckily, my Shar-Pei enjoys bath time, which makes it easier to keep her skin healthy.
answer · Shar-Pei
Definitely, mine does that too! It's like they play hard to get. Once I’m out of sight, I can hear her going around looking for me.
question · Shar-Pei
Every stranger asks if my Shar-Pei is always this serious looking 😂 Anyone else hear that all the time?
