Portrait of a Shar Pei (by a Loving Owner)
Shar Pei is a very intelligent dog, that can
guess our actions several steps forward. From the first days of
being in a new home, even the smallest puppy will understand
acceptable boundaries of his/her behavior.
The Shar Pei is very sensitive
to human’s attention. When the indifference is felt he would
certainly remain indifferent, but when the dog feels sincere love
and affection, be sure that you’ve managed to encounter one of the
most devoted friends on the Earth! A Shar Pei never tends to
become a leader of the family, so he would favourably give his
place even to the youngest representative of the humans’ family.
The Shar Pei has a great ability
to discern family friends and foes very soon, though he
may be rather protective to all of them at first. It’s close to
impossible to buy or entice a Shar Pei even by the most
sophisticated food. - Only the word of a Master has a role for
him. Tender and phlegmatic in usual conditions, the dog turns into
a fearful defender in the case of a danger. Still, don’t try to
check his fighting abilities in specially created conditions – the
Shar Pei won’t show his skills of a fighter for mere fun.
Shar Pei makes a great company both for children and for
elderly people, he is adoptable
to various rhythms of life. A great citizen and country
dog – he may be satisfied both with 15 minutes walk and with
several hours trip. Still there is a thing that doesn’t evoke
enthusiasm of these beautiful clean dogs – it’s a bad weather. In
inclemencies these dogs try to choose clean paths not to get
dirty.
Thus, you may not be afraid of the state of your furniture if
decide to acquire a Shar Pei – his short sandy fur won’t dirty
your carpets. Shar Pei is very often called a philosopher in a
dog’s skin. He is very sensitive and capable of feeling and
sharing your moods. At the same time he is a loyal defender of
your property and family. Still,
there are several other features of Shar Pei’s character a
future owner needs to know...
