- #sharpei dogs. What are they really like to live with? Find out in our latest breed guide video. It's the wrinkles that have made these dogs extremely popular... but can they have too many? There's expert advice from owners and the UK Kennel Club on selecting the right #sharpeipuppies to avoid potential problems. There's also top tips on training a Shar Pei. It seems they're really intelligent and learn fast... but will make up their own rules if you don't tackle training early. There's good news in the dog grooming department - until Sharpeis moult twice a year. Enjoy the video and don't forget to add your comment or experiences with the Shar Pei breed. They're a lovely breed. They're intelligent. They're really loving and loyal. They've got cheeky characters sometimes. Basically, once you've got one you become addicted and most people end up with two - or five like I've got. Shar Peis have increased in popularity over recent years, and it's been a little bit to the detriment of the breed. #sherpeiwrinkles make them popular with some people, simply just for their appearance. And yet, really the breed shouldn't have a lot of wrinkles. It has a loose fitting skin, but the more wrinkled it is the more care it's going to require because they can get infections inside those wrinkles. We don't breed for over-exaggerated wrinkles. They should only have moderate wrinkling over the shoulders. As a puppy they will have more wrinkles and they will grow into those wrinkles - but you shouln't be looking at a puppy that's absolutely dripping in wrinkles, because that is not what they should be bred for. Shar Pei have got a reputation of being quite difficult to train. I think that's because they've got that aloof personality. Having said that, I've had a fair few through my training classes and they have been absolutely delightful to train. They've got to see why you want them to do it. You've got to try and find out what makes them tick a little bit. They're really clever dogs and as a youngster, you really need to give them their boundaries at a young age. So if you don't want them on the settee, don't put them on the settee at a young age because they pick things up really quickly - so we all have to train them at an ealy age. So as long as they're really well socialised, they're good with children, good with people and good with other dogs. It's going to be a very powerful dog. It's not an enormous dog, but it's a powerful dog as an adult. You need to think about getting lots of early socialisation, teaching it about life - taking it out and about - doing all that in a very positive manner so it has a good experience of the life it's going to lead. When you've got a powerful dog you really need to do more than the rest of us - with a smaller dog - so you can control that power when you're out in public. When they're puppies, you don't need to over-exercise them. They grow quite rapidly, so you have to be careful with the exercise. Just moderate exercise - buidling up and then once they get to adult size, and hour a day would be perfect. They're quite laid back dogs. They're very loyal to your family. They have got a guarding instinct - so obiously you don't need to bring that guarding instinct out, it's there. They'll fuss people and then go away because they want their own space. Generally they should be happy, healthy, fun-loving dogs. There's two types of coat - there's a horse coat and a brush coat. The horse coat is a more harsher coat - and these are brush coats. Bascially it's like a once over groom, once a week. You don't need any clipping.
Shar Peis are best antidepressant for human.
What a great way of putting it
My family have always has dogs, i grow up with them all my life, i got a shar pei as a pup four years ago, its my girlfriends first dog, they really all the beat dog you will ever get
Good to hear from Shar Pei fans
My momma loved this breed so much. When she met my dad, she had 5.
She passed that love for the breed down to me. We are planning on getting our first one since we lost out latest one, Max, soon. I just wish my momma was still here to meet the new pup.
I am sorry for your mother... She is in Heaven, with God now 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rest in peace❤️ I hope you’re doing well
we adopted a 11yr old Sharpie/Shepard mix from a shelter.. GREAT DOG smart ,loving, loyal, strong. Loves people she knows ,HATES CATS.....
I bought my Chinese Shar-Pei in a pet shop 14 years ago. He is still here right beside me upside down and wiggling from side to side. He's very content.
My baby Apollo will be 15 in September. He looks young and everyone thinks he's a puppy. He has given us 15 great years and I hope for 15 more. These dogs are the best.
me and my husband got our first dog a Shar pei mashed Moxie, she is only 6months but had learned a lot, maybe more than we wanted.
within 2 months of having her she learns sit, stay, come, leave it, drop it, a button for outside, and lay down.
she had now picked up things by herself she knows how to open the fridge, ask for water, and even some cool tricks like spin, dance, high five, through, and roll over.
she even only ever had one in house potty the first week. got to say we will be getting another soon.
They have a bad rep but my friend got one and it’s the coolest dog ever… he said it was very easy to raise compared to his other dogs.
Any Shar Pei fans like to add to this?
I remember my good friend's shar pei dogs always barked when the doorbell went off, and if they saw strangers, they did not once ever bark, they just sniffed them to get used to new visitors!
They just got alerted anytime they heard the doorbell! 😅😅
I have a Shar Pei
there are 3 types of coats!! I have a Bear Coat Shar Pei... long haired... he is soooooo beautiful.... I guess she the lady said they only have 2 coat types because the Bear coatscan't be shown in compitition? either way... they do have 3 coats
In 1986 my friend's dad bought a Shar Pei for 3000 dollars and had it imported from China. When it was a puppy i had alot more wrinkles then i ever seen on a Shar Pei. When it became an adult it still had more wrinkles than any adult Shar Pei i ever seen not only that he had the biggest head with a deep crack on the top of his head like a pitbull with a big rib cage he had a dark reddish coat with dark green eyes and a dark purple tongue. His name was wrinkles and he was very impressive.
Sounds like an amazing dog
I have a Shar pei puppy he is now about 5 months old hes not the wrinkliest of dhar pei a lot of people come up to me and one of the first things they ask is he a mix breed just because he doesn't have a tone of wrinkles. He is with out a doubt purebred. Im kinda glad now he isn't full of wrinkles its a lot less I have to worry about i was lucky enough he didn't even need to have his eyes tacked. Im thinking now i know why he was the last of the litter to choose from
Sounds like he'll be better off with fewer wrinkles (as we all would!)
My boy Opie is my world I love him so much tbh I took him on as a re_home 4-5 months ago hes now my world I love him so much, I was brought up with boxers but I'm converted too shar pei now and my brother has followed suit.
Amazing dogs so loving and loyal.
love sharpei dog 😊
What do they taste like?
@@clubslaben loyalty
I have a bullpei old tyme bulldog x shar pei everyday someone comments on him say how beautiful he is I've had him since he was 7wks he's now 9 months old
I have 3 of these beautiful breeds
Great. Any advice to add to our video?
I love my Shar Pei ♡ they are the best guard dogs. (Shar Pei puppies should never be fed puppy food as it causes carpel laxity.)
I have two Shar Peis, they're the most friendly, smart, and goofy dogs I have ever had! They have such a bad rep for being aggressive said every Pit owner🤣
Smartest dog I’ve ever had, over my Shepards and Labs. My Pei is non aggressive and avoids agro dogs, even when he is provoked and antagonised - up to a point. He is also an excellent and discerning guardian, but a bit lazy with all that biz now that he’s in his sunset years.
i have a blue-coated shar pei
some advice for shar peis is that to get them in their play zone, i just play with her while she’s calm, and then she gets very playful and excited
why do other dogs always want to attack my shar pei in the park yet he is never aggressive he loves other dogs
Rare
Happens to my sher pei as well its because their tails are held up so other dogs probably mistake this as more aggressive.
It ment to be because other dogs can’t read the expressions so they tend to attack them
Good question. I've had 5 Peis, that happened to me too, and I never figured it out. Just please be careful to watch the other dog and protect yours at all costs. Carry dog pepper spray.
Usually because of the way they breath (a bit loud) which other dogs mix with ''I'm about to do something'' and because there eyes are usually very much hidden and other dogs can't see them. Dogs react most on eye's and sounds and Shar pei has it a bit different then others, plus they are not very friendly dog in terms of playing with everybody in dog park, they only mind there own business....
There is also a bear coat.
Hi, i just adopt shar pei puppy 3 month.. His name is brownie😅 and his breath is fast and short.. Is that normal for shar pei? This is my first shar pei i adopt.. Please tell me is that normal or not.. Of that is not normal, than what i must do.. Thx
Hi there ! I really liked the video, it was very educational on such an interesting dog breed. I have a Shar pei of my own and he’s been having some problems with his skin; some rashes and hairless patches have been appearing on his body and I’ve tried changing his food, bathing him, but nothing helps :(. What can I do to get rid of his problem?
Sorry we can't give specific advice... Just general. If you're concerned you must visit a vet
Use sulfur soap, first application rinse it. Then put another leave it there, do that 2x a week
I've had 5 Shar-peis. Low protein on the diet. That's what causes "hot spots". Stay clear of rice foods. Solid Gold brand has good food, so does Royal Canin. You can also give a single Benedryl pill at meal time. I bathed ALL of my dogs in Palmolive Anti-bacterial dish soap with no adverse reactions ever.
Awesome video very interesting I have sharpei and pit bull mix that I rescued
Thank you you're welcome
Interesting combination of traits sounds like you have a nice dog..
what are some things i can say positive about this dog because i’m trying to convince my parents. we already have a dog, an Australian Chocolate Labradoodle. would it be a good match?
Chocked Labradoodles are lovely dogs and easy to have. Shar Peis are not easy..
I have a sharpei and yes! Consider that you need to commit on skin care, because for me is hard to fimd a shampoo that just dosen't focus on hair but on skin, so i usally use human skincare and dam am i going broke xD
Hi. We've recommended some shampoos in the description to the video. Hope it helps.
I've had 5 Shar Peis and washed ALL of them in Palmolive Anti-bacterial dish soap. I NEVER had a problem and it is cheap.
What will happen if a female shar pei is mated in male husky? Would it be okay?
The Original "Bone Mouth" essentially without wrinkles is better. A little larger, more athletic and built for tge hunting and Guarding they were meant for.
I'm so educated

Why do they bite or nibble at
So I've had my sher pei for 4 years now but I always have trouble cleaning her ears. Is there any advice you can give that might be able to help? I've tried cleaning her with inserting the bottle, squeezing cotton balls with dog ear cleaning solution, but both times she always tries to bite me or gets defensive. I've had to put a muzzle on her in order to make her stop biting me aggressively. I just want to make her be less defensive and more open to it if possible.
Don't insert the bottle, always use the soak a cotton ball and squeeze it in that way. Give it 5 minutes, let the dog shake its head to loosen things up, then wipe out with the cotton balls. Then gently use Q-tips but DO NOT go in too deep. If you smell a yeast smell, take him/her to vet immediately for medicine. Whenever you have them sedated for teeth cleaning or anything, have the ears cleaned. Sometimes just wipe out with cotton balls dry, now and then, without a serious cleaning agenda so it gets used to you messing with the ears. (5 Shar Pei experience)
@@generationless6942 the thing is I've tried all of that but my sher pei just tends to bite back at me. Idk what to do anymore at this point.
@@infinitesession5439 Since she's already on the defensive you'll have to start over. Sit down and have a one to one conversation with her. Talk to her calmly as if she is human, don't try to clean her ears at this point, but stroke her face while talking and gently touch her ears to gain trust. Do that a few days in a row, then slowly introduce the cotton balls, just rubbing them on her face and up to the exterior of her ears, not inside. Be calm, talk gently, and take your time. Talking to your dog as a person does wonders. Good luck.
Hi, I have my 2nd Shar-pei, neither liked having their ears cleaned but I have found the easiest way is to cut a finger from a thin rubber glove and place warmed ear cleaner solution inside before rubbing the dogs ear and then squeezing the solution inside the ear followed by a lengthy and vigorous massaging of the outside of the ear to soften and loosen the waxy substance, then stand well clear ! obviously best done outdoors !
@@generationless6942 this is sound advice, and also what I have don with one of my rescue Pei. They actually love their face being massaged and stroked gently (eventually). Gentle and slow is the approach. Persevere and you will be rewarded.
Shar pei mix?;
There are 3 types of coats not just 2
I would love a pei dripping in wrinkles. I'm not a breeder, so no harm, eh?
Here is some advice. If you don't want to spend thousands of dollars on your dog, don't get one. I have had Shar Pei my whole life and they require a lot of work. Breeding is getting better but the dog shelters around here have them because people love the wrinkles and hate the bills.
I've had 5. 2 from puppies, and 3 from California Shar Pei Rescue in Redding, CA. I've spent 10's of thousands over the years. I love every one of them, and will even until I get to see them all again when I'm gone.
Well said.
My shar pei ate a lollipop stick, should I be worried???
We always say check this sort of thing out with a vet to be safe

I've had 5 Shar Peis and washed ALL of them in Palmolive Anti-bacterial dish soap. I NEVER had a problem and it is cheap. I don't think I could ever own another breed.
Genius life hack. I’m gonna try this. Makes sense as I use it to wash up and it’s my skin. I only like to wash my boy every 3 months.
@@melatomic I'd wash mine every 2 to 3 months (5 Peis, 2 from puppies, 3 rescue). I was afraid washing too often would deny them some of the oils that their skin needed.
Mines smells with in 2wks after a bath. I can't take it any suggestions
