Chinese Shar-Pei

Chinese Shar-Peis are quite interesting dogs. They are medium size, about 40-65 lbs. They have tons of wrinkles, so you gotta be the kinda person who loves dogs with pushed in faces and wrinkles(pugs, shar-peis, boxers, french bulldog, etc.). Shar-Peis are solid colors, usually tannish. sometimes even a little pink! They have a pretty low energy level; when they're younger they will probably have a more moderate energy level. Good for elderly people or a laid back person(totally NOT saying that laid back people are like old people, and I'm not comparing them to elderly people!! I'm not offending any person's personality or age, 'cuz someday I will be elderly to!!). Brush their short coat regularly(and who knows how often regularly is!! it could be everyday or every week!). I am guessing that brushing them weekly is good. They do shed. **IMPORTANT FACT: MAKE SURE TO CLEAN THEIR EARS ONCE A WEEK** It's just good to do that regularly, too. Chinese Shar-Peis need to have confident owners and socialize VERY early; they are really good at(if you want to do an activity with your dog) obedience, track, agility, and therapy. These wrinkled face dogs are not for over permissive or submissive people.
