Shar Pei- The rare Breed We ve met...

It was such a surprise that we do have Shar-Pei in our state,Sabah.. such a hot yet humid location. A Shar-Pai came visit us today for a bath and nail cutting… and it was really an eye opener to us… His skin was as thick as a piggy skin.. and as coarse as a comodo dragon... he is just as ugly and has double the wrinkle of an ugly pug!

The History of Shar-Pei may have existed in China since 200B.C. At that time, Sharpei were the working breed of peasant farmers, as a guard dog, wild boar hunter and dog fighter. Shar-Pei is self-assured, independent and stubborn. They are devoted to any protective of family and reserved, even suspicious, toward strangers. They can be aggressive towards other dogs.

Shar-Pei needs a long walk or lively romp daily. It has thick wrinkles that need regular attention.

Here are some pictures for everyone... we had fun washing this little rare breed :-
