hi my name is linda i am getting a shar pei puppy in 7 weeks any tips and advice some people say that thae are not good with kids is this true

they were a japanese fighting dog, most have skin problems and you have to cream them up everyday especially when the weather is hot. other than that good luck with the new addition!

I thought they originated from China?

Shar pei are very devoted to their owners, very laid back dogs so don't believe everything people tell you

Also VERY easy to housetrain.

Good luck with your pup!

Hi Linda, I have met shar pei pups with excellent temperament and some with bad temperament, do your homework on the breeder before you step in and buy one, make sure you see mum and any others that they have there, have you gone through the breed club. My Uncle used to have 2 dogs and they were absolutely super with everybody even the smallest of kids, BUT I have seen some around the shows that would take your hand off so BUYER BEWARE!!

Having said that have you researched all the health problems of the breed, when I was at the vets last there was a shar peir there who was just a 12 month and had cost his owners over £1000 already in vets fees - he had entropian and also problems in his skin folds.

I am not trying to put you off but just make you aware of the huge problems within the breed. Hopefully your pup will be coming from a breeder recommended by the breed club and will have had all the necessary health tests.

Good luck with your new babe.
