Q&A
answer · Shar-Pei
A lot of folks seem to believe that Shar-Peis don't need socialization. That’s just not true. They need to be exposed to different people and situations to grow up well-adjusted.
answer · Shar-Pei
I usually don't let strangers pet my Shar-Pei. They can be quite protective and may not always be comfortable with unfamiliar faces.
answer · Shar-Pei
I recommend a Shar-Pei for certain owners. They are unique dogs with their lovable wrinkly faces and calm demeanor. My Shar-Pei has a quirky habit of 'talking' back when he doesn't want to do something. Just be prepared for their dry skin and occasional health issues. Overall, if you can handle their quirks, they can be fantastic pets.
question · Shar-Pei
What's your funniest Shar-Pei story?
answer · Shar-Pei
For skin care, I use a damp cloth to wipe the folds daily. It's simple but makes a huge difference.
answer · Shar-Pei
Yep, mine pretends not to care.
answer · Shar-Pei
I get that question non-stop! It's hilarious because my Shar-Pei is such a clown at home. She prances around with her toys, but out in public, she just looks really serious. That contrast always gets a laugh.

You are not imagining it.
