Frequent bathing will do a Shar-Pei only harm, as the skin will get deficient in natural oils. Seeing that the Shar-Pei's eyes and ears can become a major health hazard, check them daily and use cotton make-up pads to clean them. Consult your veterinarian to obtain a suitable ear solution that will keep the bacteria away.

The Shar-Pei puppy should adjust to grooming sessions. Help by get used to it can be achieved by touching its paws, as the nails will need regular clipping. Touching and petting the puppy all over the body will help it not to get scared when getting veterinarian services.

Chinese Shar Peis Breeders - Shar-Peis are about 2000 years old. The breed originated in China. Its ancestors were tombdogs and service dogs. Initially, Shar-Peis were meant to hunt and protect the livestock from predators. In case a Shar-Pei didn't meet the needs of a farmer-peasant's household, it was most likely to be killed and eaten.

However, Shar-Peis are said to lack the fierceness necessary for a fighting dog.

The Shar-Pei was once known as an extremely expensive dog breed. In 1949, the Communist party in China proclaimed that pets were eating the food that could have been used by starving people.
