Introduction

The Chinese Shar-Pei, easily recognizable by its deep wrinkles and blue-black tongue, embodies calm strength. Initially bred for guarding, this medium-sized dog possesses a confident and independent temperament, but can show fierce loyalty to its family. Adaptable to various living situations, they require moderate exercise and thrive on mental engagement. Their distinctive coat, requiring special care, comes in a variety of colors. Ideal for an owner who appreciates a dignified and alert companion.
