The Chinese Shar Pei a regal and rugged farm dog. The breed has surely seen many variations in it's two thousand year history. Starting from the humble farm dog to the post Communist China fighting dogs, the breed has a storied history.
FYI: RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL COMMENTS ARE DELETED.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Folks seem to forget that opinion backed by facts are offensive. You're videos are awesome and we love all the hard work you do. My favorite happen to be Belgian Mali and Dutch Shepard
( Natural Bias because I own and work with them in my spare time.)
Dogumentary TV not very good to censor your audience
TOO BAD
Butthurt? These dogs shouldn't be bred with excessive skin. It's a health detriment to the dog. I couldn't care less about the history. Focus on the now.
Dogumentary TV please do one with Saint Bernard , I am a big fan of them
Whoever is out there reading this... Please get yourself a Shar-Pei... You will never know what love and loyalty is until you have one as part of the family... I promise you that... They will NEVER be aggressive to you and your family... but only to strangers so don't be afraid of having small children in the house because your Shar-Pei will protect you and your children with his or her LIFE I promise you...
Lol you don't want a dog who is aggressive towards your friends
@@leilaniz5909 They get used to people you know quickly... Im talking about possible intruders or if someone tries to hurt you...
I have a small but pretty powerful variety of firearms as well... So between me and my dog we are a man and man's best friend death squad... I promise you my house isn't the one to break into... Lol... If I hear my dog barking by the door in the middle of the night and im not expecting any company... I have my Colt 1911 within reach... You just never know these days... Oh and I live alone in my house so I can keep my gun under the pillow or under on the night stand so I don't have to worry about a kid or some idiot playing with it and killing themselves... But when I do have company it goes in the safe with the other guns... Just playing it safe both ways bro 😉
Not for everyone given their health problems and costs associated.
Best dog ever. When she said you bind with them in a way that's beyond any other dog I felt that so hard. So true
Bruh.... you know how long I was looking for a good shar pei video lol
You are actually THEE only person out here doing this level of a good job fam
Desg99 who's your bruh?
U are
Same here, best Shar-Pei video out there
@@austinm7750 fuckin agreed, i got a shar pei called whoopi lmao
I have the Chinese Shar-Pei and it is very hard to clean her ears what is the easiest solution she's always shaking her head is there a service out there that does it for me my name is George
My shar pei lived to be almost 17 years old. We lost him 2 months ago. He was healthy as can be and he looked 9 when he passed. He got an ear infection the last 2 years of his life. Simon was moody, stand offish but the most loyal dog to each member of our family. My parents have had other dogs but none like Simon. We miss him so much.
I love the breed. my boy is great. very loyal and protective.
mxpopeye to both of you, I am thinking of getting a Shar Pei, but I haven’t had a dog in years, is this okay breed for a relatively new dog owner?
mxpopeye same. I love my Bruno. he’s so smart and protective.
I timed my boy to see how long he would like my arm one morning and gave up after 30 mins and a raw arm
@@austinm7750 what would you say about there health issues
Do they have alot of health problems and do they smell alot just asking very curious in this breed.
My mom was/is a Shar Pei breeder and I grew up with between 20 - 40 dogs in the house at all times. These dogs are so much fun and so loyal. They will protect you till they die and I have witnessed how effective they can fight. One day I hope to be able to have a few again.
To raise a shar-pei is very rewarding, they certainly are a challenge and will push your buttons and test you to no end. But once you get to know them, they're the only one you want. So much character, so much love and so so much loyalty.
My pei pei became aggressive towards other dogs AFTER a boxer attacked him.. when he turned 11 we moved to a farm, got cats, horses and more than 40 Guinea pigs.. he’s been amazing..
He also had the fever annually- until I stopped vaccinating him… been fever free ever since
I give these ladies props for being so clear and honest about the health problems these dogs have. Many are severe. Having said that, I don't get why several minutes earlier into the video, they said that breeders have weeded out most health issues. If that were true, I don't know how this breed even survived.
I think its an ongoing process... genes of certain diseases are difficult to breed out and lies dormant... but as the gene pool increases and selective breeding it become less recessive..
They said when they first came into the USA they had severe health problems
The real workers from china were the shar pei ( bone mouth) they are bigger and taller and more flat skin and less healthy problems
It really mostly boils down to a good diet. No animal or human for that matter should have to live on tinned and dry food.
Because they are breeding for looks , the original shar pei doesn’t have these issues
Shar-Pei and Dobermans, my favorite breeds.
Are you me?
@@321turn6 hahaha triplets maybe?
My comrade, I had both! I had a huge, strong, smart and loyal altobello european dobie, which sadly died of cancer. However, a year ago, I adopted a bone-mouth shar pei, which became my best friend! Great dog!
interesting combo, but i cant talk cause i love those breeds just as much
@@d.i.t.v.3436 my friend just got a blue girl puppy. I have a puppy of my own (small one) and when the sharpei gets older I’m scared it’s going to harm my dog or me. Is it true that they like to attack and are aggressive? If you can tell me anything that can calm my nerves then it would be much appreciated!
Very fine dogumentary! I’ve owned 3 Shar Pei, all 3 coat types: horse, brush & bear. Very loyal, but the Bear Coat Shar Pei had the sweetest, most docile personality. She was a lovely child and loved everyone. So sweet. Very rewarding to own this breed.
I was used to cats, my Shar pei dogs are like cat-dogs, very neat. They are not low maintenance, ear cleaning--and it is different for the miniature, her ear drum is closer to the top, nail trimming--their quick can sometimes grow close to the tip of the nail so one has to be verycareful not to hit the quick, and they are also a strong hunting breed in addition to guard dogs and companion dogs, so they are not that great on a leash, some may be okay. I will mention a few things because when I first owned dogs, my Shar pei dogs, I wish I knew ahead of time what I am mentioning, such as what are the best leashes to use since I tried several:
1. For cleaning the home, use a strong vacuum with a HEPA filter on their beddings, floors and carpets, this will help the dogs from getting itchy from microscopic annoyances like mites. Then you do not have to have your dog on tough anti-itch meds like Apoquel. Washing their beddings in vinegar helps get rid of mites.
2. Be careful about the dog food. Shar pei dogs are not supposed to eat too much cruciferous veggies like broccoli, bok choi, kale, because it can negatively affect their uptake of iodine, and then they can get sick. Instead of rice for fiber in their food, I use Chia seeds which are low carbs and have omegas. Rice can turn into sugar helping to cause fungus. Don't use sugary treats, use giblets as treats like livers from beef or chickens, chicken kidneys, etc. I ended up cooking my dogs' food and adding dog vitamin supplements. Add a small amount of apple cider vinegar (not a different type of vinegar) to their food. I always look up food choices, such as I find that clover sprouts and sunflower sprouts are okay for dogs. My dogs love raw, unsalted cashews as treats.
3. My dogs are not the greatest on walks, but love to go on walks. They have a very strong hunting instinct, and I live in the countryside--they see a rabbit, they will run in front of a car to get it, jump off a cliff running after something. They are totally peaceful and obedient until they see game. Anyway, the double bungee leashes on the marketplace are the best with them, this gives them the opportunity to explore, but still controlling as the bungee dog leashes have several handles along the leash, and you can attach several of them for a longer leash. I use padded dog harnesses instead of a collar.
4. Shar pei dogs need to go to the bathroom at least three times a day, not twice a day that many dogs seem to be able to handle. So, one should remember to let them out in the yard at least three times a day--morning, afternoon, evening.
5. Sleeping helps Shar pei dogs stay healthy. Shar pei dogs do not bark much unless they were taught to do that; whatever, barking is good for dog's lungs. They may not bark much naturally since they may be hunting in that fashion for centuries. So, let it be.
6. Do not enclose them in a small area, or shut doors in their faces, as they are very sensitive. I let my dogs roam all over the house, and sleep where they want. They have doggie beds but sometimes they sleep on the couch or on my bed. I put a drop of Himalayan cedar oil on my hand and rub my hands, then rub that along their back hair, it helps them not have ticks and fleas.
7. My dogs usually have many vaccines, like the Lyme Disease vaccine.
8. Shar pei dogs usually like to play a lot, love learning something new with treats, love affection.
9. It is hot in the summer here even in the countryside, and Shar pei dogs generally do not like very hot weather, so air conditioning and fans where they usually rest may be a good idea. Shar pei dogs love to travel, but one has to be careful about the car temperature, and not leaving them in a car when it is warm outside, even if it is 70 F degrees, the sun can overheat the car very fast inside.
10. Make sure to keep up-to-date with the grooming of their ears and nails. If you have no experience with that, VET technicians usually can help show you how to do that properly.
May this be helpful. Best of luck.
Thanks for mentioning they are high maintenance to care for
@@mariana7802 I would say medium maintenance.
Browsed through several years of comments and no one mentioned how easy it is to house break this breed. My first one took ONE day to learn, my worst was our black Lab Pei mix, took about 5 weeks (the lab genes won that test).
We got our 8 week old pup last week. She is house broken about 90% and when she has gone in the house, it is on the pads (and usually our fault for not getting her out in a timely way). Amazingly smart dog.
That's because Labs are dumb.
Fantastic breed. I've had 6 over the years. Incredibly intelligent, almost problem-solving intelligent. Sometimes stubborn lol. Very protective of their people and property.
All the great things I hear I want 1 now
I have a Sharpei mix I got from a shelter. Best family dog I’ve ever had and I’ve grown up with Golden Retrievers! He won’t let me children go in the yard alone and he’s the biggest sweetheart
My first dog from the day I was born until the age of 8 was my shar pei Leroy. He was such a good boy. Sweet to us, and one hell of a protector. I’d give anything to lay on the ground with him again.
“Shar Pei are very smart”
All mine does in run into glass doors
Lol! too funny
BungleGaming they are smart !!! Mine talks to me 🤷🏻♀️😂
Hmmmm, tell me more... how did you teach it to do it?
Yeah... I've looked after German shepherds, collies, kelpies... shar pei are odd, not classically intelligent
🤣
These are one of the best breeds besides the health issues they fit almost all needs! Please get more videos of these dogs!!
My girl is a sharpei mix (70 pounds, brindle colored with a straight tail) but looks 100% sharpei other than those points.
She's protective, loyal and so smart! It would take only 1 training session to teach her a trick.
Also she hates getting wet to the point that she will walk around or jump over a wet patch on the ground when going for walks.
My dog loves the entire family but is most attached to me. She always has to be next to or touching me.
If anyone is thinking about getting a sharpei, get a mixed one. You get the looks and benefits of one without the health problems!
So excited to see this...we just lost our old man on April 22, 2019.
Every thing they said is true...love and miss my Moglie...he was 14 yrs...I'll see you on the flip side 💕 and miss You!
I have a full pedigree, blue shar pei male. His great grand parents actually came from China.
His personality is hilarious and he's extremely intelligent!
They really are a friend for life. Rolo!
For anyone wanting a pei, I can’t recommend them enough. I have had two and both have been some of the best dogs I have ever had. They are so loyal, loving, and protective of those they love. One bit of advice would be to get a dna test through embark or another service as soon as you get your dog. They now show if your dog has the associated genes for Shar Pei Fever. I did it with my current pei and have had him on the medication that manages the disease. It will definitely keep your dog happy and safer in the long run if you know if your dog is predisposed to the condition!!
Sometimes they can get a high temperature if they do not get enough rest, sleep. Dogs usually sleep between fourteen to eighteen hours a day. I give my dogs GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract), a few drops on their treats if they seem to have a temperature. GSE is a holistic cure for several ailments in humans, horses, and dogs. It is a holistic dure for Giardia. I am not saying for people to definitely use this. It has helped my dogs often. And, I found out about it online. I have never used a thermometer with them, I can tell by feeling underneath their arms. It is better to use non-intrusive thermometers with pets, like the ones you can hold and stay away from them, or put between their toes or under their arms.
I lost my Shar pei A year ago, she was 14 and I’m still absolutely broken over it. Im going to wait and let her memory fade before I get another one. I love this breed so much I wouldn’t even consider anything else. Would always get a bone mouth over meat mouth though.
These women are so articulate! Great job on the video.
I love my Sharpei, she is my daughter, best friend and my guardian :)
How are they in water?
IRON MAN my shar pei, HATES water, rain, bath or spillage from her water bowl.
Water? It’s different for every dog , my Winnie is a shar pei and she loves the sea and lakes but won’t walk through a puddle and haaaaates a bath :) so it just depends on the dogs personality really :)
@@rae.x3654 would that dog protect you from a home invader
Nick M yes she growls and barks at any noise outside and if anyone gets too close to me she doesn’t know she does the same she’s a brilliant little guard dog
We're on our fourth Pei and just love and accept all of their traits (eccentricities). Just an amazing breed of dog.
I’ve had a number of Shar-Pei. The are the smartest and most loyal dogs ever. One is my medical alert dog, she literally, trained herself
I had a Shar Pei and he was the best dog I ever had. Good with children, cats, kittens and pretty much any baby animal. However, he hated other dogs. He died a very old man. RIP Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger!
I just bought a sharpei, and I thought it was a mixed, but apparently it is a bone mouth. Thanks to your videos now I know a little more about my litte puppy!!!
I have had my Shar-Pei for a little over seven years and he is without a doubt the smartest most protective dog I have ever owned
My Shar Pei just passed away from Shar Pei fever. She was the best dog I’ve ever known.
When I’m ready, I would like to get another Shar Pei. Thanks for this video. If you know of any available near Utah, please let me know.
Jane Burns sorry to hear that
I am so sorry for your loss :(((((
Please, I am about to get the dog, I want to know something more about the shar pei fever, is there a cure, does it happen often, please explain it to me, I have to think before buying
@@danilodarmanovic2533 15:35
I'm so sorry. It's heartbreaking. Don't encourage this industry, please x
To the people who doubt a shar pei's ability to defend its owner from other people and from other dogs has never seen one in action. They bite HARD, those teeth are sharp as crap, and they're unexpectedly fast. When I play catch with mine she seems to move on a different plane of speed than I can even track. They are also really good at understanding situations, I've had someone try to steal her and my bulldog on a walk at night and she tore that dude up the moment he grabbed the leash. People talk so much crap about this breed but have virtually no experience.
DomsGameRoom but in order for a dog to defend its owner properly it much have size, speed, power and have the correct temperament and let's face it a shar pei doesn't have size, nor speed, nor the temperament and definitely not power, the best breeds hands down for protection is the German shepherd, Doberman, Rottweiler, Caucasian shepherd and Belgian malonis
@@seanflynn7393 Your so wrong dude it all depends on the dog and the way he is trained. Do your homework before you start taking shit🖕🖕🖕
My Shar Pei was the same. Very protective and didn’t seem like it to others until she was put in a position to do so. A pit got away from its owner when we where on a walk together and charged us. She moved so fast she stunned the pit bull and pinned him and she was leashed! His owner quickly came and retrieved him while it took everything I had to keep her chomping mouth from tearing into this shocked dogs face 😳
She was the most loyal and amazing dog I have ever owned.
@@seanflynn7393 you've never seen a Shar Pei in action then.
My Shar Pei is no joke when a stranger tries anything. Dont ever doubt a Pei when its protecting its person especially the female. Bitches protect their family to the death.
I had a Shar Pei, female, spayed as I didn't want to breed puppies. Loved that dog so much. When she arrived I had 3 small dogs special needs Yorkie, a miniature poodle took in at 6 yrs old, and a Lhsa poo. Also 2 cats. She looked after the little dogs like they were a herd, one cat would wake her up for a belly rub and she would. In hot weather she did have skin problems so we went to 100% cotton bedding and total non-scented clear detergent. Also food no corn, wheat or soy, very good quality. when she died (and still missed) she was 14 years 11 months old, a good age
Sorry to hear she's gone but what a wonderful life she had with you. Did she have many vet visits? Health issues? Thank you
My spouse had two that have passed on, but we have an 8 year old girl and a brand new 8 week old pup girl. Love this breed!
Shar pei are the coolest and best breed ever. So loving and loyal to their family. Wouldnt want to live without my shar pei family.
Was really looking forward to this video, didn't disappoint. Peis are really unique, they are part cat, part grizzly bear, and part toddler.
And part hippo.
I owned a shar pei a few years ago. She was my baby girl, Beija. She was given to me by my cousins friend who was in the military and couldn’t take care of her so I was honor to adopt her and gave her all the love and attention. Unfortunately, one night I took her outside to go to the bathroom but she somehow ran out after a ball and was run over. I miss my baby girl. She was definitely a good dog who was protective, loving, and just unique in her own way. 💕
I love my sharpei so much. She’s calm and quiet in the house but when we’re outside she’s not gonna let no one mess with me 🙅♀️
I just lost my last Sharpei...I moved from Chicago to Atlanta with Rocky and Sandy...Rocky died 8/2016 and Sandy just this 12/26/2019... I will not be having anymore dogs..When I lost Sandy, it was such a devastating loss that I cant go through that again...My Sharpei were so much more then any dog I have ever had..My Sandy was such a sweetheart and Rocky was such a character ....omg...devesatation is not even accurate...
Love the video. Always owned shar pei my whole life. We have had issues with shar pei fever and cutaneous mucinosis and food allergy. So sad my ten year old girl is having liver issues. I'll never own another breed in my life. Ever.
I had shar pie and he was a wonderful dog. Very loyal, and very intelligent, he was a house dog I kept him in the house, his name was Cruiser, if he heard something outside he wouldn't bark, he would huff, just to let me know something was wrong. I had to go live with my dad during my divorce and he instantly love my dad,and when my uncle would come over he would sit right by my Dad and growl lightly at my uncle just to let him know he would protect my dad at all cost. My Uncle was not amused but my dad was cracking up the whole time Cruiser was growling ever so lightly at my uncle, when I got home from work he would run and hug me. Such a good boy. I had to take him to visit dad regularly after I got a place to live with my boys. He would come in my room and lay down by my bed until I fell asleep then he would go get in bed with my son, under the covers with his head on a pillow just like he was human. Lol
How old were your boys when you got him? I have two young's boys and seriously considering getting one. Thank you! ❤
@@mariana7802 my youngest was 6 and the first thing this dog did when I brought him home is to jump in bed with my son, while cruiser was a family dog he had his picks of his favorite people, he was definitely my youngest son's dog, he would come into my bedroom until I fell asleep then go get in bed with my son, covers pulled up over him and his head on a pillow while my son wrapped his arm around this dog. They are very loyal dogs, once you've become their person, they will protect them with fierce loyalty. I absolutely recommend getting a shar-pei. I recommend getting them as a puppy, and letting them grow with your children. While he loved the entire family he wasn't fond of my husband when I first got him, my husband was away for a week, so he wasn't introduced to my husband at first. My ex- husband was an abusive man, so he disliked my ex-husband immediately, but he really was my and both my son's dog. He would growl at my ex-husband all the time until he finally got used to him. Like I said they are fiercely loyal and will protect you and your families. I once woke up at 3:00am and took him out, he began to feel although I couldn't see anything he sensed it, then I saw a man running towards me, and it was all I could do to hold onto him, he was standing on his hind legs and bearing his teeth and just growling and trying to get to this man, what he thought was a danger to me. This man saw this dog and ran the other way, I don't know the mans intentions, but my dog knew he was dangerous, they will protect you at the cost of their lives, as long as I told him you were okay, he wouldn't be obvious about it, like I said he would growl at my uncle, while he sat by my Daddy, not loud, but loud enough to let you know him know would protect you till the end, he loved my daddy dearly. My Dad always said that cruiser was his favorite grandpuppy. So funny.
I've brought stray kittens home... I tell my Peis "this is a baby, leave the baby" and I've been able to foster so many kittens! My Peis are brilliant!! Amazing and insanely intelligent ❤
I love the insight this channel gives into dog breeds. Its something you can't really get from a book. I would love to see you cover Rhodasian Ridgebacks. I've been really interested in the breed recently
We had 2 Rhodesian Ridgeback/lab mixes growing up and they were wonderful dogs!
Shar pei dogs are so lovely and amazing. It even becomes rare in original birth place
My dogs used to have ear issues, but I listened to what my mom had said when she was alive, that it was probably very tiny bugs that lived outside the dogs' ears and would crawl inside, so when I wash their ears, I make sure to wash around the outside of their ears, especially in the back crevices. Since then, they do not have any ear problems. I just have to clean their ears once every three weeks or a month, instead of twice a week. This may not be the case with other dogs, but it worked for my dogs.
This explains a lot as far as behavior and temperament goes.My girl is half pit/half shar pei and her behavior is purely shar pei.
My shar pei Honey was bread with a blue shar pei and had a litter of 5 puppies. Blue brush coat boy, black brush coat boy, 2 greyish/thorn girls and an apricot bear coat boy. We kept the bear coat boy and called him Chewy (like Star Wars chewbacca) and they are just the most wonderful things ever. Honey is actually the niece to our previous shar pei Millie.
Very fine dogumentary! I’ve owned 3 Shar Pei, all 3 coat types: horse, brush & bear. Very loyal, but the Bear Coat Shar Pei had the sweetest, most docile personality. She was a lovely child and loved everyone. So sweet. Very rewarding to own this breed.
I miss my girl so much. Best dog I ever had and will be getting another very soon
I have a Shar pei and he's not so aloof he loves people. Believes everyone exists to pet his goofy face. Too sweet a boy.
I have had 5 since 1991. I LOVE them. My first two lived to 16 yrs old. I still miss them.
I just got a Shar pei puppy it has eye problem. Hopefully it will get better. It's already has a place in my heart it made me realize how valuable my pets are
I am a proud owner of a Pei ❤️. My Great Dane, Atlas, he is 10 years old, and my retired SD. We ended up with our Pei, Braemar out of a miracle. They get along perfectly and makes my heart happy.
I can tell you, he is hot tempered when being handled by someone else other than his mamma (he is a Show dog, but entering his 8th month of being a hot tempered Aries boi).
In all seriousness, he is being trained to become my next SD, doing my best by him to get him properly trained. He is smart, oh so smart. Clean indeed! Like a cat, constantly cleaning himself. I do keep him cleaned weekly and bathed bimonthly. He is a soft boi but my husband is indeed allergic to him and he doesn’t care. We are over the moon with our Braemar 🥹🥰
My first dog was a shar pei. So awesome.
our neighbor had 2 Shar Pei's. Lovely dogs
I been watching your videos for a year now but I be so busy that I always watch the videos days later. I myself have been studying dogs ever since I was 9 but never own a dog and I love the facts, research that you do and going to breeders who deeply love the breed that they do. I must say the Chinese Shar Pei is my favorite next to the Great Dane and American Pit bull Terrier. But I love what you are doing keep up the great work!
+Shakiarra Thanks you!
You're very welcome
When I was younger we had a half sharpei/lab and she was very protective, aloof wasn’t into strangers at all. I guess she took on more of the sharpie personality. She grew up in the same home with her best friend who was a GSD puppy protective, but she loved people. I would love to experience a purebred sharpei one day. I love your video.❤
Both of our girls have been good. Extremely loyal, smart and protective in a good way.
Our family has had this Breed since 1988 when we got a fawn horse coat female from Lava Kennels. We couldn't have asked for a better and healthier dog. Mai Ling lived to be fourteen years old. However, there seems to be a few rude and uninformed people commenting on this very well produced video with an interesting and informative narrative by Susanna and Rose. Breeders work hard to improve their Breed. They don't make a lot of money. In fact, they're lucky if they break even. The only people who make money hand over fist are puppy mills where they don't care about the welfare of their dogs as long as they produce litter after litter. A good Breeder cares about their dogs.
I have a Shar pei. She is my fifth one and still love them more then life is self.
Here's what I will say: thank you for producing a very well done short introductory film with two fine women who have devoted their lives to the betterment of this specific breed. There are likely to be thousands of ignorant and uninformed, uneducated, bias-ridden comments on any of your video threads, particularly some of these rarer breeds that have been referred to as "bastardized." These are coming from people who generally do not understand the real concept of what preservation breeding truly means and the devotion it takes to protect a breed and better it with each generation, especially having come from a virtually extinct gene pool. People who rally around bashing anything on the Internet I find rely heavily on said resource to inform what they "know" about a breed (or various other topic). If you do not own, train, breed, medically treat, or fervently study any breed of dog, you are not an expert on it. Relying on various social media platforms to properly and thoroughly educate individuals on all that was, is, and will be a Shar-Pei is an unfathomable notion. I celebrate this video and who stand behind it-this information is correct, but it is also only a 25 minute long feature that highlights the most significant information for the average person. I encourage everyone that feels so inclined to say they "know" this breed and make claims that are unfounded to take a step back and ask themselves really how educated and unbiased they are because most of the comments I read are riddled with opinions that are not founded on experience or proper study. Go to a library, go to a dog history museum, go to the breed clubs' historians, read books; go to shows and ask the people who are handling the dogs you're interested in. This video channel is a fabulous resource and I applaud the effort put into all the videos, but it's just a starting point for each breed. The Chinese Shar-Pei standard can be found on the breed club website cspca.com and it fully serves as the proper educational and historical resource the breed bashers should really consider investigating. It's too bad the Internet, social media, and backyard breeders have painted such a negative view of my breed in so many's eyes. This is not what the purpose of preservation breeding is supposed to be: it's about keeping the health and temperament at the forefront of the breeders' minds in protecting the dogs and keeping their history alive. Calling them "useless" I personally found completely harsh and offensive, especially considering that I take mine to obedience class every week, do therapy programs, and am training for agility with my female. They are highly intelligent and purposeful breeding preserves their all purpose farm dog capabilities, and you are foolish if you choose to believe that they are weak, soft, stupid or unsound as a generalization of the breed. Well socialized and hand reared Shar-Pei puppies are non such a thing. They may be fixated on their one person, but a sound dog is never overly timid, fearful, or aggressive. Assertive, powerful, smart, and excessively loyal... they can do it all if you invite them to it, and I cannot overstate how significant the natural guarding and protection ability inherently withdraws from my dogs when they feel I am being threatened or challenged. To my friends who poured a lot into this video, thank you. To all else who choose to explore the breed more, I encourage you to do so... without relying on only one source of information. That is never a way to become an expert on anything; especially if you have no experience with it.
My dad had one like 20 years ago and he has told me countless storys on how protective he was over my older sister
I've had 2 Shar Peis, one boy who died a few years ago, and now a girl. My boy was less affectionate, but a good and peaceful boy. Once an Akita charged our toddler who was playing in the front yard with daddy, and my Shar Pei Jet, blew the screen door wide open and charged at that Akita and ran him off. Our female, Pearl, carefully vets every person who comes in the door, even people she knows well. You aren't getting in my front door without a careful examination, and if I'm not downstairs to open the door, you aren't getting in at all. Loved the description that they are cat-like. I'm always saying Pearl is a cat in a dog's body. Enjoyed this video! There's a lot of Shar pei slander out there.
I was really intrigued until I kept seeing how much these two women were looking at each other for affirmation on their knowledge.
I just want to say thank you so much for posting this video.... I've watched it 2/3 times now! i'm cramming in as much info as possible about this amazing breed... Fingers crossed in 3/6 months i'll be the proud owner of an amazing Puppy/Dog. Thank you again for the video 😍 🌞
I live in an RV. A sharpie lab mix showed up at my door and would not leave. I have two other dogs. A husky mix and a jack Russell. I took him to a vet to see if he was chipped. No chip. Posted on social media to try and find owner. No luck. I will not take him to a shelter. Now I am trying to find out all I can about this breed. Thank you for sharing this info.
How’s it going with the sharpei lab mix? I have what appears to be a sharpei/pit bull/standard poodle (?) mix. He’d be misidentified as a pit bull and put down if I took him to a shelter. I’m here to learn about the breed, too. Like yours, no chip and I’ve been posting on social media but I’m becoming so attached to him that it’ll be really hard to let him go. I live in a house with a yard however, I don’t own but rent; that makes all the difference in whether I can keep him or not.
Suzanna is very beautiful and has a great bond with her mom.
I have a traditional shar pei,very few wrinkles, very aloof with strangers but once she's met you a few times she's a friend for life 😊
Incredible video gus! I love that you're branching out. I grew up with shar-pei because my mom is obsessed with them!
Great news since this video was made - the test the ladies spoke about regarding the possibility of a dog to get SPAID is now available in the US. YAY!
There is one correction I'd like to mention; SPAID actually stands for Shar-Pei Auto INFLAMMATORY Disease - not autoimmune. This was once referred to as FSF (Familial Shar-Pei Fever) but with further research it became named SPAID.
I don't remember if the ladies mentioned the STSS (Streptococcus Toxic Shock Syndrome) disease. It is a very serious disease which is due to a bacterial and/or inflammatory infection. Should the body temp get over 104 degrees or there are visible symptoms, if not treated immediately, the infection can become septic and the dog is very likely to not survive the oncoming septic shock. There is similar & often comorbid STSS-like necrotizing fasciitis infection that can affect the skin, muscle & internal organs with the same end result. Early recognition & immediate treatment can be life saving! SPAID is often the catalyst for these two diseases - so, with the new test that indicates the possible likelihood of SPAID in a dog, responsible breeding will help lessen the chances of a dog getting SPAID and will be pivitol in decreasing these diseases.
The really great news is that more and more breeders are breeding utilizing the results of the test & hopefully this will be a huge breakthrough in avoiding SPAID, Et Al !!
My shar pei is half blind and half deaf, her name is wrinkles and she is very smelly and she is a rescue and she is so cute!!!
conor o seu cachorro é muito bonito eu tenho um desse também
Como ele chama
If you bath her more often, once every week or so, completely dry her the best you can. I like using Mane and Tail shampoo, it’s made for horses. If they are itching, I like a oatmeal based shampoo. 100% got rid of the smell. But drying is important, if not, bacteria will form in the wrinkles, that’s your smell.
If u want ur dog to stop being stinky, stop feeding it carbs/grains/sugars. They feed yeast and the yeast grows in their skin and ears. Clean ears often and your dog will NEVER stink again.
1 thing i know for 4 years. Shar Pei was fighting dog because it has really quick regeneration, but i still love my sharpei, she will be 6 years old in 2020 but I still call her my little puppy, and her nickname is Michellin XD like those tires on car because she looks like the Michellin guy
This video is awesome! Very well done
I remember when I had my shar pei. I plan on getting one very soon cause I have loved them since I was 6 and I've never stopped
I know someone (I don't associate with them anymore) who has a bone mouth/gotti line American bully mix. Her dog definitely has the temperament described here. She is a natural guard dog. And very intelligent.
Love this video. Great questions and interviewing here. So much information 👏🏼
My Shar Pei
Gives no fucks about anyone in chill mode.
Wants to fight every animal. Every!
Barks at anyone near the house, including planes at 33,000 ft.
Never listens .
Worst selective hearing.
Snob.
Doesn’t like to fetch
Like to play kill with small sticks.
My best friend. Lulu is a bone mouth, 12 years old and can still walk 2-3 hours per day. Legend. Every once in a while she’ll join me in bed, back to me (spooning 😂😆😂) and then look up to my face. I’ll fall asleep with her in my arms but 80% of the tube she’ll be gone when I wake, doing her Shar Pei thing. Guarding, being independent.
I fucking love her.
Lol ✈✈✈✈
I have one crossed with a ridge back and staffy.... She is an absolute fur child and no truer words have been spoken when they said they are like cats. My girl is named Nala and looks and acts like a little lioness 🫶
We adopted two girl Shar pei the best breed for me. One angel passed from cancer one from Shar pei fever. I miss them.l know we will meet again. They will always be our babies forever.
Also, what are Shar pei dogs most known for? They are known for their sense of humor. They can sometimes be funny. Just love my Shar pei dogs.
My Hopey was my service dog. she was my heart and soul!! i lost her last year. the hardest loss ever!! she was amazingly smart. she potty trained herself. she followed my older dog out the dog door at under 8 weeks and never had an accident. she was my everything.
So sorry for your loss ❤
@@johnmcdaid7957 thank you!! every day without that amazing dog is very hard. she was the smartest dog i ever knew.
@@lauragardner7210 You're welcome :) My dog is my heart and soul so I know where you come from. The way she is tuned into my emotions and ora is insane.... It boggles my brain every day how she not only loves me but she KNOWS me.. I really hope that time will heal your heartache. God bless
I love my mini sharpei. She loves other dogs contrary to what they say about this breed. She loves going to doggy daycare and will play all day with other dogs if she could. She warms up to other people after about 5 mins after she sniffs them. Goofy as heck.
Lokeloco B ontem 50w quantos você tem
grandma owned one the dog was a lard. She was an amazing dog.
Just put a down payment on mine today! Gonna pick HIM up, Sunday! I hope I am able to join a club.
How’s he doing?
"Sophia!, one of my bitches" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 i know female dogs are called that.... But i just found it hella funny !
Thank you for this video; I really appreciate the information you have provided. Very well done.
The two of you are stunningly beautiful! I really enjoyed this video. I can't find anything on RUclips about the proper weight and body condition of the Shar pei. You both seem to be very responsible breeders so, I'm going to assume that the dogs you show in your video are; an excellent example for how my boy should eventually look. Thank you for all the great info!
❤
best breed of dog period. loyal to the family
My first shar pei was a pure bred, this time I have a golden pei. She is a shar pei, golden retriever cross. I was told that people should not cross breed shar pei, but I am so happy with my girl. A lady was about to have her golden retriever show dog spade and the neighbours pure bred shar pei jumped the fence and she became pregnant. She had 4 puppies and they are so adorable. She didn’t require any surgies like my first girl did with eye tacking. Mia still has the attitude and looks mostly like a shar pei. Funny she is more aggressive though than my pure bred shar pei was? She also sheds more than my “Wrinkles” did. I am not so sure about all these new fancy colours. Lavender etc.
I found one as a stray tied to a tree in the desert. thiknk bc of that he hates leashes. he is great , loves pets, but he does get protective and a. little territorial.
I have a sharpei pit bull terrior mix. she was a rescue. sweetheart she is.
They are my fav breed of dog. 🐕
I have 1 too..he is the sweetest..but he is an introvert while my 3 other dogs play he is just doing his thing alone...less wrinkles with horse coat, black masked...he is 7 month old...when me and my father walks in the morning he is the only 1 out of the 4 who walks with us...the 3 are 1 chow chow female 1 mix breed shi tzu/japanese spitz female and 1 native philippine dog...
The Cane Corso also has an incredible history and also has feline traits. I'm lucky enough to have a dog from Dr. Breber's lineage.
My home boy's Meme and Raul had two Chinnese Sharpaes and believe it or not they were very territorial around the house. Especially when you where in the back yard and if they would see you taking a leak in the backyard they would bark and groul at you. But other than that they were great watch dogs and very observant.
Do chow chow!!!!!!!!!pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
My 1st was Santino Alexander my 2nd is Winston Cromwell...there are no other breeds save the Sharpei!!! I have had a Lab, German Shepherd and a Rotty...all were great but none compare to this breed...take care of them and you will be blessed by their presence!
Could you do a video on the bone-mouth (traditional) shar-pei? There's not much information about them online.
I'd like to know if they're healthier than the American shar-pei which seem to have so many health issues related to their wrinkles. I'd think the bone-jaw have less health issues since they have less wrinkles.
If that's the case, I hope the bone-jaw become more popular and people start breeding the American shar-pei to have less extreme wrinkles
Hey Zeke. I know it wouldn't be easy to get to China to film the bone mouth dogs. If you ever do I'll be watching.
If you filmed this to satisfy your viewers, well, totally understandable. Judging by the comments below there are clearly plenty of people out there who dislike what Western breeding has done. I'm with them, but I already put enough critiques on some of these videos.
You do great work! Thank you! Hoping you can do Rhodesian Ridgebacks at some point. :)
god i miss my baby boy so much :(
Me too😭
