Shar Pei

Pinscher and Schnauzer - Molossoid and Swiss Mountain and Cattledogs

The Shar Pei is a commanding Molossoid breed with ancient roots as a guardian and working dog. Laid-back and easygoing by nature; they can be challenging around other dogs or animals and need careful introduction. The Shar Pei is content with moderate daily exercise and short walks, and their coat is low-maintenance and needs only an occasional brush. The Shar Pei thrives with a confident, experienced handler who understands the breed and can provide consistent leadership.
